\nHappy New Years, everyone!<\/p>\n

Tonight, Mitch and I are going to stay in and be lazy. We’re going to watch “When Harry Met Sally” and eat cake.<\/p>\n

I had a really amazing year and I’m really proud of what I did and really grateful for the great things that happened and the friendships and family that I have. I did have a few really hard times and some points where I overcommitted and became overwhelmed,\u00a0but I got through it with the help of my loved ones.<\/p>\n

Going to China was pretty amazing<\/a>, I’m really glad I was able to go. There was so much to see in Beijing, alone! I love going to different countries that are really different than my own, and China definitely fit the bill. Some of the costuming related events that I went to this year were really amazing…! Looking back at the photos now, I’m so grateful that we did all we did this year!<\/p>\n

I’m really proud of the work I did on Futurama. I feel like my storyboarding skills got stronger this year and the scripts we were given allowed me to do a lot of fun animation sequences, too. Work was harder this year than it’s been for a while, but at least I was proud of what we did. I did a couple art shows this year and did a large full-color sketchbook! (I still have a few left if you want one!) I also did a marker tutorial<\/a>!<\/p>\n

I learned a lot more about gardening this year… and I’m REALLY excited to see what my plants, especially the roses, will do next year. They’re starting to get big!<\/p>\n

Last year my goals were to redesign my website, get better at storyboarding, do some epic photoshoots and get in better shape. I did pretty well at all of those, though I wish I’d made more progress in getting in better shape.<\/p>\n

Next Year:
\n~~ do a little more personal artwork.
\n~~ do a few more art shows or anthology books.
\n~~ create some custom fabrics.
\n~~ learn how to use SEOs on my website, set up more print sales online and setup my Amazon referral links.
\n~~ get my sewing dummy padded out to my shape
\n~~ get my grommet press functional
\n~~ keep getting in better shape. I made some progress this year. Next year, MORE! It’s important to take care of myself even if I’m busy.
\n~~ keep improving my art. I’d like to get better at composition and sequential storytelling in particular.
\n~~ make a few costumes on my dream list. (Top of my list is Belle’s yellow ball gown from Beauty and the Beast). I want to get some epic photoshoots (again! yay!)
\n~~ Perhaps contrary to much of the above,… I’d like to try not to agree to quite so many things. Try to keep things a little less busy and manage my time better.<\/p>\n

Below I gathered some photos from through the year that reminds me of what happened.
