*CHALLENGE!*

Things I want to accomplish before my next birthday... I just had one so I have almost a full year for my accomplishments. Lets see the first thing that I want to do is finish my uncle's painting (on right). I am almost done and I just have one element to add. I hope that I get it done before November, because I am seriously considering taking a trip to see him in CA. The second thing that I want to do before my next birthday (notice that I am avoiding telling you which birthday will be next) is start and complete the painting for my sister in law. She just moved into her own place and needs some decor... I have a lot of ideas, I just need to narrow them down. I also just started my Chicago scrapbook (see pics on yesterday's post) and I would really like to get that done in the next year. I hope that it doesn't take me all that long... but it took me 3 months to get started on it so it just might. I am hoping that in November when I take my trip, that my sis-in-law gets to go with... she is turning 21 that week and I was hoping to take her out in Las Vegas (my home town). With that trip I am planning on taking loads of pics and putting them together for her in a scrapbook and giving it to her for Christmas. Of course all of that depends on if she is even able to go on the trip, but I hope that she is and I really hope that the scrapbook works out... cause I think that is a GREAT gift. I also make all of my Christmas gifts, so I guess I should get started on that soon in order for them to be done by this Christmas. That's all of the artistic accomplishments that I want to make before my next birthday... it isn't a lot, but I am a pretty spur-of-the-moment person, so there is a lot that I want to accomplish that I just don't know about yet.
