February Goals

Here are my goals for the month of Feburary...

Should be a good and productive month!!

What are your goals this month? Please share with me :)

Getting Organized: January Goals

One of my Goals for 2011 was to get organized. And I have taken that, or trying to seriously. 2011 is going to be the year that I am organized. I am serious about it.

So, my first thought in keeping to my goals and being organized about it was getting an agenda that met all my needs.  Two Crafty Chicks has made some pretty awesome agendas. My partner Tanya has made aweosme pages for our agendas. It has everything in my opinion that most people will need. I love it because there is lots of room to write things down,  make lists and check things off,   figure out what you need to do for the week and month. And a bonus is that they all come with such pretty paper and two pockets to store papers in.

You can check them out here. It's still not too late to get organized for 2011!!

I wrote down all my Goals for 2011 in the goals section of my agenda so, it's always with me and I can see them and be reminded of what I am trying to accomplish this year. And I am happy to say that so far so good. This year I feel that I will be able to complete a-lot of my goals because I can see them and they are written down, somehow the part of having them written down makes them real and true.

In addition to having my Goals for 2011 I have also started to do Monthly Goals as well, as Weekly goals that I try to complete. There are so many bloggers out there that have inspired me to do this and it feels good. I needed the push because sometimes I feel that I can't do it. Motivation is key.

Here are my Goals for the month of January:

How I did...

I completed 6 out of my 9 goals for January. And I am quite proud of myself. That's pretty good. The three that I didn't finish were:

-finish my pink cowl...I am almost done :)

-make my 2009 and 2010 Christmas ornaments...I have everything ready it's just a matter of putting it together.

-get back to the gym...due to saving money and finding another alternative to working out ( I have been doing kickboxing cardio with my sister) I'm okay with this one not being completed.

So, overall I am quite proud of myself. Some of my goals were easy to do, which is fine it made me feel like I accomplished something.

Did you have any goals for January? How did you do?

I will be back with my Feburary goals. Happy Monday!!

Goals 2011

Happy New Year!!

I hope everyone had an wonderful Christmas. Ours was good. Busy. Lots of running around so, in some ways I was glad when Christmas was over.

Other than that I have been ejoying my time off. Spending lots of time with family and friends. Doing stuff around the house. Being a bit crafty too. It's all good.

I am excited for the new year and all it has to offer. I love coming up with some new goals for the year. Although sometimes I may have a hard time keeping to it. But this year is going to be the year. I am ready for some change. I need a change. It's going to be good, I know it. Going into 2011 with a positive attitude.

And on that note, I have been thinking all week about my goals/resolutions for 2011. There is lots that I want to improve on personally, but there are also things externally that I want to improve on. Lots to think about and try to do for sure.

This is what I have come up with for 2011; being my year for change:

1. Be healthy: I love going to the gym, when I go I feel good inside. What I lack sometimes is motivation. Gotta get my butt back in gear. Along with being healthy, I want to watch what I eat. Not put into my body too much bad fat, processed foods. I'm already pretty good, but I know there's more I can and want to do.

2. Be organized: This is something that I find is always on my goals/resolutions list. I want to have a home and life that is organized. Where I know where everything is, and has place to be. Clean and purge stuff that I don't need or want, or don't use. It's a release and it feels good when you do it.

3. Debt and Save money:  This is an easy one to do and it kind of goes hand in hand with being organized. Don't buy what I don't need.

4. Take more photos of the everyday: I just want to take more photos and improve my photography skills as well while doing this.

5. Blog: I am so proud of my blogs and I want to work more on blogging and take both blogs to the next level.

6. Be creative: I need to take more time in doing this for myself. It relaxes me and I miss it too. This is why being organized is important.

7. Travel: I need to get out of here and see more of the world. Even if its locally, I need to get away and see more.

8. Learn: I want to take a course, learn something new...I need to go back to school and figure some stuff out.

9. Go green: I believe in doing everything you can when it comes to helpin our earth and I'm going to continue.

That's all for now unless I come up with something else, I will add it. What are your goals/resolutions for 2011. I would love to know.

Happy New Year!!

my word and goals for 2010

Happy New Year everyone!! I wish you all the best for 2010. I hope you all had fun celebrating the new year in style. Jared and I went to a friend's house for a NYE party.  It was fun, lots of food, chatting and drinks. They even had a photo booth set up with costumes, it was fun!!

For awhile now I've seen on the web of people posting their word for the year. All started by Ali E and I've never done it so, this year I thought it would be good to join in on the one little word. I have chosen

balance

It's one thing that I find myself struggling with lately and it's something that I need to work on and do cause with the way things are I desperately need balance  in my life.

And as for goals I'm not going to call resolutions 'cause then I know I most likely will not keep with them. So my goals for the year and they can always be changed and modified if I want to.

1. be healthy~working out more and eating healthier

2. be creative~I miss scrapbooking, I haven't had time to make or create anything in awhile so my one little word comes in handy with this goal.

3. go back to school~ I'm going back end of this month, beginning of Feb to get my degree, I'm excited!!

4. become even more computer friendly~ I want to learn more on blog design and more.

5. two crafty chicks~ make our business a success, while having fun too.

6. be organized~ this is something I am always working on, and getting there slowly...

7. save $$~ Jared got me Gail's book from 'Til Debt Do Us Part and we're gonna be starting on a budget again, I'm excited, 'cause I know we can do this.

8. use what I already have~ this has mainly to do with all my craft supplies, and not spending lots of $$, have been pretty good so far but want to be better.

9. be green~this is a good one and pretty easy too.

10. spend more time with Jared, family and friends~ I am very lucky to have such amazing people in my life and I need to spend more time with them.

11.blog more~this is one I really want to try and keep, i enjoy blogging and reading other people's blogs too, need to comment more too.

So, there are my goals.Pretty good and able to keep, I think!! I may add more as we move along in the year.

Happy 2010!!
