finish my personal projects

Oh no. So many things left half done – paintings, drawings, designs, my wardrobe, the floor, a fence, sewing projects…

It’s a long list. I need to tackle each thing one at a time and see through ‘til the end. This isn’t funny. All these little monkeys on my back, and they’re totally self inflicted! Why do I do this to myself?

Right, had better carry on then…

I need to create my vision board to post up in my room, decorate my walls with cut-outs of beautiful scenic places in the world (although Asia and Africa are kind of lacking – the book I found only covered the other continents). I also need to start working on a collaboration I promised I’d do with an online art friend, MeiFeng from another online community. I need to finish uploading my Athens photos and then the rest of the stuff in my queue. After that, I can start doing photo manipulations and more photography (very, very basic point and shoot stuff).

I also gave myself a mission to go hunting for hearts in San Francisco (they’re installations around the city – I’ve seen at least 5 and I know there are over 20). I want to document that as well.

Whew. I’m sure there are more but for now, that’s it.

But God does

But for now, this is good to go. I’ve done as much as I could and none of it is pressing anymore. I know I’ll finish them. I mean, I got this far, didn’t I? :D

Most of the stuff is things I can’t do until certain things arrive (like stuff I ordered) or whatever, and school comes first so I’m not about to displace HW for the remainder of things I have to do. It’s all reasonably easy that if I devote a full weekend day to it, I’m sure I’ll do fine. :D

Good luck to everyone!

Clean my boots.

Start and finish 4th scrapbook.

Organize my sentimental stuff/souvenirs.

Make a list of all the museums I’ve ever been to.

Have LfW be up and running well!

Finish holiday gifts and such. Wrap. Ta dah.

Send all my winter holiday packages early.

I’m getting a little stressed because I know a couple of them take a long time….

Well, I’m down to 13 days left since this is my challenged goal…

I have these to do:

Clean my boots.
Have LfW (my business) be up and running well!
Start and finish 4th scrapbook.
Bookmooch whatever books I can before I leave so at least I know the books have found good homes.
Go through all my magazines and remove pieces of stuff I want to keep for my art files. Or for scrapbooking. Or for my journal.
Actually finish my art files by putting in the inspirational stuff into page protectors in binders.
Cut soda from my diet (occasional treats are okay, but in general, no).
Learn to cook pasta WELL. Learn to cook at least 8 dishes.
Organize my sentimental stuff/souvenirs.
Make a list of all the museums I’ve ever been to.
Finish holiday gifts and such.
Send all my winter holiday packages early.

Yay! I’ve completed my 3rd scrapbook so I have 1 more left to do. I’d love to be able to organise the rest of my photos, from childhood and stuff, but I might end up finding cheap photo albums and just sticking them in, rather than scrapbooking them. It takes way too long.

I’ve also managed to declutter my room a little, make my bookshelf look less maniacal and clear 1/3 of the living room table of my stuff. Whoohoo!

It’s weird how little things matter. But I still feel like doing more.

I’ve had tons of personal projects building up since I was young and I’ve done some but more build up because I get more ideas that I never get around to doing!

The main ones now are:
scrapbook of best picture/events (with friends)
make a journal for a fellow journaling friend
send random cards to my writer friends
send two packages to makeachildsmile.org featured kids
create a collage book for my former best friend
organize my music folder

I’ve got alot of work ahead of me. My projects include an unfinished dining room that I started 2 years ago and never finished, and about 10 business related projects I’ve started and let dwindle. I don’t want to finish everything though, just the dining room and 1 or two good business related projects. I figure that might get me on track for some of my other goals as well.

. . . finished one this morning! A few left to go and I’m DONE!
