2010 allowed me 18 finishes...9 less than last year. I didn't like that very much. I had hoped to have a productive year that allowed more *me* finishes. So that's my focus in 2011. Me. Stitching for me. Becoming a happier me. Doing things that make me healthier and more positive. I know it will be difficult as I have much negative around me but I have to take the steps away from that to really allow myself to shine. I've felt lost for a while now...floundering...always trying to make those around me happy while sacrificing my own time and happiness. No more!
Goodbye 2010...and good riddance! And ecstatic greetings to a brand spanking and shiny New Year. Hello 2011!
Hey, froggie...pass the champagne but stay away from my stitching!Thanks to everyone for sticking with me through my roller coaster happenings over the last couple of years. I wish you all the very best in 2011. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!
I'd say you did a great job of working towards your 2010 goals. Most people just completely walk away from them!

Best wishes for 2011!
Happy New Year, and may you meet all your goals and then some!! And by all means keep that frog away from all of us!!
Happy New Year Valerie! I hope 2011 brings lots of good things your way :)
Happy New Year Valerie! May it be the best ever for you.
Happy New Year and I hope it is a great one for you.
It's been such fun getting to know you this year, Valerie! May 2011 bring you much love and laughter (and no frogs--human or stitching-related!!)...
Happy New Year !

Happy New Year Valerie!
You certainally have been on the roller coaster of life last year; but it is time to close that chapter in your book of life and move on!
May 2011 bring you much health and happiness...love and laughter...and more stitching time :)
Take care my friend!
Great goals for the new year!!!! Hope it's a wonderful one :-).
Well, you found the perfect image with the frog and the champagne. I love your comment too. Yes, frogs, leave our stitching alone!
Good luck with your goals, Valerie! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year. I hope you weep working towards those
Personal goals to be happier and healthier. That's all we can really ask for! Some of it is within your control and some of it isn't and you just do your best!
Take care and smile! It helPs!
All the best in the New Year.
Happy New Year, and I think stitching for ourselves is a good step toward happiness.
Happy New Year to you. I hope we both have a happier, healthier and more productive Year!
Well said Valerie, good riddance to 2010! Looking forward to see what Mirabilia charts you choose to stitch. I'm thinking about stitching a Lavender & Lace Santa, but I'm not sure how I'll feel stitching him mid-July!!
Happy New Year - I hope you fulfill all of your goals.
LOL! Great post Valerie :o) All the best in 2011 because you definitely deserve it!
Wishing you all the best in 2011! Perhaps we can push each other to finish Mary Wigham!
You did well with your 2010 goals considering the upheavals in your personal life Valerie! I look forward to seeing your *me* stitching for 2011! A very Happy New Year to you [[[Hugs]]]
happy New Year Valerie! I'm looking forward to our AotH SAL :)
I hope 2011 is a wonderful year for you Valerie filled with love, laughter and happiness in abundance
Happy New Year, Valerie !!! I think your goals are doable and I'm sure you will have a better year...
I plan on stitching from my stash too, but my will is so weak !!! We'll see..
I think your goals are very doable. I think it's good that you are focusing on yourself this year as far as your stitching--crafting is no fun if you never reward yourself. Happy New Year.
Here's hoping 2011 is much better!! I'm going to focus on me this year too - it's about time! Let's cheer each other on and stay positive!!
GREAT goals! I am trying to be more mindful this year, which includes weight and depression issues. Good luck to you!! :D :D :D
Happy new year!! Wishing you the best in the new year. :)
Happy New Year and happy stitching in 2011!
Have a great year ahead Val!!
