jan. goals recap

I finished one of the three books I've been reading. It's not that I don't like reading. I just almost

ALWAYS fall asleep before I can finish a chapter. Anyway...I finished Barnheart, and I loved it! It was just what I needed to feel better about my crazy obsession with chicken and garden planning before we even have our land.
It was good to know I'm not the only one. And after reading it, I know I definitely have Barnheart.

 

 

My goal was to get the photo of my mamaw and papaw framed, but I changed my mind on the frame

at the last minute. I don't like any of the frames I find in stores. Some of my favorite frames I find are old ones from thrift stores. I did manage to finally get the photo booth photo of Rob and I framed. The frame I used was a nice sturdy wooden frame I found at a thrift for only two dollars! Now that's a frame that will last.

My last goal was to join the photography club of nwa, but I decided to spend the $35 member fee on some thrift/garage sale finds. Not sure if I would have the time for the meetings anyway.

 

 

At one of the garage sales, I found two more of those darn cork top jars I'm obsessed with.

They just look so pretty with bulk goods in them. And they keep stuff fresh. They're beautiful and useful.

 

Rob has been on the road every weekend with his band, so I've been doing a lot of cleaning out and
organizing in the house. One of my Feb. goals is to sort through my many boxes of photos and get them into albums. I found these polaroids that I thought I had lost while sorting yesterday. I was so excited to see them again.

Here are my Feb. goals:

1. go on two hikes. (I heard we're gonna have an early spring!)
2. get photos sorted and in albums. (this is exciting!)
3. make a necklace or some earrings out of the millions of beads I own!

january goals

At the beginning of every new year I like to make a list of goals and resolutions for the whole

year and I always find it hard to stick to the list. It's overwhelming. I found this cool idea of monthly goal setting on this lovely blog. I've met Miss Natalie and she's a super talented photographer.

Her blog is a new fave of mine. So many inspiring words and photos. Check it out.

So...here is my first month of goals. I'm starting a little late, but I think I can get these done.

 

1. Get old photo of my mamaw and papaw framed and on the wall.

2. Join the PSNWA.

3. Finish at least one of the three books I'm reading!

 

I'm excited about this people. I think this will be something I can do.

 

 

I've gotten a few emails and messages from friends asking about my sweet Gypsy.

To those who asked...thank you so much for caring. It means a lot to me.

She is doing a little better. We have been weaning her off the oral steroids and giving her an inhaled steroid twice daily for her lung disease. We still don't have a diagnosis. Her repeat xrays last month still show no signs of lung cancer. She has good days and bad days with her breathing, so it's hard for me to call it. I will know when it's time though. I eat up every day I have with her. May sound weird to some, but she's my baby.

I love this photo I took of her in the morning light. My regal girl.
