2012 - To Simplify...

Blog cleaned up, stuff hidden in tabs, 
and a more simplified overall look.

K I S S
Keep ISimple Silly
Changes:
Isn't that what a new year brings? We want positive changes, but we have to do our part in making the changes successful. Right!? ;)
Falling Behind:
I'd like to simplify things in my sewing/comp room, by doing a major clean out, organize projects in the waiting, line up & list all my PhDs, and get them done. DONE!! 
I'll not be leading another PhD Challenge, until I get my committed PhDs from 2011 done,
and then it will be a "maybe". We shall see...
Homemaking:
I really need to keep up with book-keeping, put more effort into my household chores, and maybe get myself to like cooking/baking again? There, I said it! My homemaker confessions... lol...
Friends:
I haven't seen many of my long time friendships in quite a while, not on purpose, it is just that time has been flying by, with our lives changing so much in the last 2 years. Two daughters married, one darling grandchild in our lives now, and more in the future I'm sure. Things just seem to change. So, more visits/outings with friends are in order...
Exercise:
Ya right!?! Not even gonna touch that one! Speaking from experience here... lol...
My Blog
Been thinking a lot about the way I use my blog, and how long-winded I get sometimes. I know I really appreciate visiting blogs/posts "with photos" and a quick read. Some just have a knack for making posts that are quick and to the point, which I've been trying out on my photo journal blog, and am quite liking it.  So, I will be attempting to stick to such an example on this blog also, though there will be longer posts for tutorials and such periodically... 
Time Management:
I've been spending way too much time on the comp, so I need to simplify/time-manage to fix that. I plan to limit hopping all over blog-land, a lot, and visit only those wonderful bloggers/followers that bless me with a much appreciated visit. This way, I will free up much time to be with the people I love, do my chores, and get more sewing done...
Responding to Email:
I still can't promise to keep up with my emails, cause that has been a constant struggle, 
but will do my best to do better at responding...

I know this post is somewhat "long-winded", 
but it is #one of my last 3 posts here for 2011.
I've got some organizing to do! ;)

I wish you all a wonderful Christmas, 
and all the best in 2012!

Love the new look and to simplify a blog is nice - as long as we can get our teeth into something from time to time, don't want you losing your personality, lol!

I too have been trying to find the balance between blogging about life and living life My blogging has not really been that successful but I love visiting others. Thanks for the update on the PhDs, I was waiting to see what you decided before I jumped in somewhere else. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

I agree with many of your sentiments...there is only so much time given to us and we have to decide how we want to spend it!Making changes by simplifying things is a wonderful start to a good thing.

Well you really thought everything over. I also like plain and simple blogs. Pictures and not to much to read. And further...I wish you all the best for 2012 and I wish you a wonderful Christmas.
