End o' Year Recap...
I have to do this year re-cap stuff to remind myself that I actually did something in 2017. I want to show a jam packed timeline, complete w/pix that so that it looks nice. I want to include all the wonderful folks who touched my life along the way.
Whoa! too much time, too many folks (thank you all!) feels too self-absorbed and just not gonna happen. A New Year's resolution for me... keep up with the blog in a more timely fashion; make it nice all year long. Share my gratitude, share creative finds, share ideas and accomplishments and, if I'm really brave, share some failures. Check back occasionally to see if I did any of this:-)
