Last January, I had just started sketching and blogging and wrote this:
http://lisalou-graceart.blogspot.com/2008/01/art-goals-i-dont-think-so.html
And this year, I have a list of artistic things I want to do and learn as long as my arm! I am not calling these goals--since I am apt to find more new things I want to try and will abandon some of the below. So be it.

What a great list! It sounds like you have a very joyful year ahead of you! I did the Artists Way many years ago and it was the most creative 12 weeks of my life. I've returned to doing the morning pages after a long time away from them and really love them and the Artists Way.
What a fun list to read. I agree that our goals/plans need to be map, but veering off the raod is sometimes more fun and the start of something new. Now I need to look upSmartflix!
Here's hoping one of those 4 trips is to see me with Martha....
What a fab list. You have given this a lot of thought and that's probably the most important part.
happy New Year
What a wonderful list! Anything I can do to assist, please get in touch! I loved the Artists way and resolve to do my pages daily from now on!
Have a wonderful and creative new year
This is a really big list. I like what you said last year. You must have grown a lot over the year to be able to go from no list to this list. I hope you have a great time reaching out for these. Happy New Year!
