What a great list! I love #9! We learn from our mistakes! We develop our artistic perception using emotions that deeply affect us. Putting yourself down prevents the artist in you from growing. I look at some jewelry pieces I made three years ago and I feel like I want to hide under the bed. Yet, without these ugly “babies”, as I like to call them “experiments”, I wouldn’t make what I made this year. “Just have fun doing what you love!” You already have everything you need to start a great year!

You are my hero! I have so many books and magazines that I am even scared to start thinking of a database.

There! It is going to be a great year! Wish you all the best and looking forward to see your collection at the end of the year!

There is nothing wrong with using the same color schemes over and over. What if those are your signature colors? Exploring is always fun, though!

Sounds like a good plan!

I don’t bead and I do leave with seriously committed beader who wants to make a living by making beaded jewelry, teaching others and preserving the ancient art of beading.
Here’s my New Years resolutions:
– I promise restrain my wife from hoarding beads (some call it a wishful thinking) ?
– I promise to nag my wife to sort out beads when she brings them home (like I get a notice: look what I got in my bag – new beads!) ?
– I promise to accompany my wife every time when she shops for beads and help her to restrain herself from buying unnecessary beads (- Honey, please be honest and tell what kind of beads do you really need. I don’t think even she knows) ?
– I promise to be an UFO (UnFinished Objects) hunter for my wife. After all I’m big UFO fan. Look, Honey, you got a beaded “flying saucer” in your room!
– I promise to hide sale coupons for beads from my wife (like that would stop her)?

Please don’t send me beads even you really want to! If you do then I would have to explain to my wife that I posted on your website and won giveaway. Like she’s going to believe me that it wasn’t some random woman trying to win my heart. With beads!?
