Happy 2013
It seems like just yesterday that I typed Happy 2012. It's amazing to me how fast the years are flying by. I feel like I've said that before also.
So, onto my new years resolutions. I try to make my resolutions not only something that will make me a better person but also benefit others in some way.
This year I have 5 resolutions. I actually have 4 new ones and 1 that I want to roll over from last year.
My first one is to continue to send birthday cards to family members. I have tried doing this in the past and failed miserably. I'm happy to say that last year, I got a birthday card to every member of my family. Let me stop here and clarify; I'm not including aunts, uncles and cousins, I send to siblings, parents and nieces/nephews. I really can't go further out of the family circle than that. You can read about my resolution to do this last year by going here.

I love to take pictures. My second resolution is to get back on the 365 photo a day challenge band wagon. The basic idea is to take a picture everyday for a year. At the end of the year, I would like to put together a scrapbook of all the pictures. I have a friend who has done this and it's such a great idea.
This is my first one of the new year:

My third one goes along with #2; it's to take more pictures of my kids. I take lots of pictures of my kids on the sporting fields and I want to take more of them actually posing for the camera. Say maybe one day before school and I think they look great in the outfit they have on, or after church getting them together for a family photo. When I was looking for pictures to put in our Christmas card this year, I was sad to see that all my pictures were of sporting events. I will still take the sports photos, but need to add more photos in with it.
#4
I suggested this resolution to my hubby and kids and thought it would be a great family resolution. It's to read 1 novel a month. I thought it would be a great family activity but the hubs and our daughter didn't think so. I think I can get the youngest son on board because, like me; he loves to read.
I started my January novel yesterday and I'm reading The Descendents by Kaui Hart Hemmings.
#5
My fifth and last is to finish more projects that I've started. I have so many unfinished projects laying around my craft room and I get so irritated when I go out and buy more stuff to start new projects when I already have unfinished projects that need to be worked on. Some of these projects are my scrapbooks. I have so many unfinished scrapbook projects that I really want to get caught-up on. I have some sewing projects that I want to finish and well as home improvement projects.
So, as you can see, I'm sure to be a very busy person this year. I'll do my best to keep you updated on how things are going throughout the year.
