A New Month, A Winner and Goals


Wow, I can't believe it's already November! We were out of town over part of the weekend. I wanted to go visit my stepmother since I hadn't seen her since before my first surgery. The house is up for sale and hopefully she will not have wait long for a buyer.

I did manage to get in a little stitching before we left but I kept a watch on the clock so as not to overdo. Just not enough progress as of yet to show again.I was able to do another scrapbooking layout which is pictured at the left. I thought I would get back into the habit of listing monthly goals from time to time so here are a few for November.

1. Do at least 16 layouts
2. Finish My Home is Built in Glory
3. Have another giveaway or two
4. Make Thanksgiving dinner
5. Take plenty of pictures. I have been a slacker in this area.
6. Frame 1 or 2 finished pieces
7. Pull out some Christmas stuff to put out later this month
8. Clean out some more closets

The winner of this giveaway is Patti. After cleaning out my stash last week, I have quite a few more charts waiting for their turn in a giveaway so be watching. There will be another one very soon! Keep checking back!

Until next time, may you have simple days and an uncluttered heart!

Every time I see one of your scrapbook layouts, I think it's this professionally done page from a magazine or something! lol! You do beautiful work! Great goals -- and it's nice that you got some stitching in and got to visit your stepmother too.

I love your scrapbooking pages. I've never really done my of it, but you're certainly would put me to shame.

And your goals sound almost the same as mine - is a spring and fall thing with making goals. I did get one closet cleaned out this weekend, so that's a start. Good luck with your goals.
