My “I Did!” List

from thehopetree

To all my fellow Artisans and small business owners out there: I read a post by empapers on ScoutieGirl about making a list of accomplishments for the current year, before tackling that 2012 to-do list. Sounded like a good idea since I felt like I had such a challenging year.

So here goes:

- I created my own website from scratch and with no prior web-design experience.

- I took the plunge and officially registered my business – Ms. Veronicas Handmade. (Makes me smile).

- I put myself out there (some of you know how hard it is).

- I tried my hand at a second business as a Dove Chocolatier. It’s been a good start too.

- I came up with three completely new products and expanded my selection of cards.

- I gave back – to my family, friends and community.

- I’ve learned to love me more (faults and all).

- I’ve consistently blogged for a whole year (I still can’t believe that).

- I managed not to fail any of my college courses.

- I learned basic web design, html and css included.

- I allowed myself to be afraid and be okay with it. (the ‘being okay with it’ part was actually hard).

- I submitted work for two national organizations and had a poster selected that is not hung on Ellis Island.

- I did all this while working full-time. And I thank God for the strength and ability He gave me.

Yup, I did it and I’m ringing my own bell. I think a celebratory trip to the Jjimjilbang (Korean Spa) is in order.

I’d love to know what you did this year…
