Career Goals

Had to write my annual review so here are my goals as of 3/31/05

Write another award-worthy (and hopefully award-winning) technical article.
Aug 9 Done. FES article is award-worthy. Other articles have improved greatly in quality.

More managerial responsibilities
Aug 9 I'll call this one done too. I've been supervising Leslie and Mary a little.

Work more in eMedia (such as knowing how to design a newsletter, or web page; knowing more than basic html)
I'm going to include this goal in my Photoshop goal.

blogroll

I've added a blog roll to my sidebar. Some really crafty stuff going on out there.

Shake it up Baby!

I think Project Vicki needs some shaking up!

Progress is being made in the ongoing goals, but I feel like I need to make some more aggressive goals.
What do I want in life?

I realized the other day it's been a year since we performed Bach's Magnificat.
That was a high point in my vocal career.
And what am I doing for my voice now? Nothing but maintenance singing in choir.
Maybe that's a goal to think about.

Never again clutter your days or nights
with so many menial and unimportant things
that you have no time to accept a real challenge
when it comes along.
This applies to play as well as work.
A day merely survived is no cause for celebration.
You are not here to fritter away your precious hours
when you have the ability to accomplish so much
by making a slight change in your routine.
No more busy work. No more hiding from success.
Leave time, leave space, to grow. Now. Now!
Not tomorrow!

This is what my display looked like at the Feb 14 Have-a-Heart craft sale at Penton. I had 4 purses (none of which sold), 3 sets of marble magnets (all sold), and about 4 different styles of cards (about half sold).

I'm posting pictures of just about everything. I forgot to take a picture of the purple purse so I will do that soon. (good thing it didn't sell, huh?)

I notice that my cheaper stuff sold, it was just that kind of crowd. I'm still glad I forced myself to do it.

Everything that didn't sell is for sale! Leave a comment if you're interested. :)

This is probably my favorite purse. Lined in brown. I asked $20 for this one.

I call this purse my Mary Englebreit purse because of the fried-egg flower. This is probably the most girly purse I made. Asked $20 for it.

Another bad picture. I asked $20 for this purse. It is lined with a pink patterned fabric and has a red cell-phone pocket inside.

The picture doesn't do this card justice. I believe this card sold for $1.50.

I made 3 of these cards and asked $1.50 per card. I can't believe no one bought them because I think they're gorgeous!
