Plans & Goals: 2016

Before I get all serious, can we just take a moment to admire my new pen and planner combo? I got the pen for Christmas and it happened to perfectly match the little planner I had already gotten for myself. Aren't they cute?!

Anyway, in 2015 I sprouted just a few grey hairs and found I could suddenly stand the taste of wine. I know I must have accomplished something, but mostly I just feel that some time has passed and that I'm turning into more of a grown-up. And I definitely have some mature plans for 2016. Mainly I want to be very efficient. But I also want to have fun, and I think the first could leave more room for me to do the latter! So here are a few of those goals:

• Get some art up on my walls. I know it'll make me so happy!
• Make some sort of cute creature. Huge shiny eyes, fake fur, maybe some clay or needlefelting...
• Finish that art studio room... so I can finally start using it. Finally.
• Draw more. I've been doing Zentangles, but I want to develop some more figurative skills again too.
• Start an art journal. I have something at the ready, now I just need to start.
• Have fun with outfits again. Because it feels nice to look nice.
• Figure out how to make, edit and upload videos. Oh, the possibilities!
• Travel somewhere again. I haven't left the country in two years. Time to change that!
• And give the blog a makeover. I still like this look, but I feel like changing things up.

I want to wish you a very happy 2016! Did you make any plans or resolutions?
And what was your favorite thing about last year?
