A little late, here are my achievements for 2008, the things I accomplished personal and business – no matter how small!
- I held my first solo show
- I received a first place award for my artwork Freedom.
- in the first half of this financial year I have already topped the sales for the entire previous financial year
- I started working in watercolors – and loving it!
- I started playing more and more with mixed media
- I really got into 3d modeling – and my artwork has improved so much as a result.
- I attended a number of online seminars and learned a lot about online marketing
- I met some truly wonderful people including an artist I really admire – Hazel Dooney.
- I learned that it’s ok to say no to some opportunities – I don’t have to chase every one.
- I exhibited in more group shows this year than ever before
- I started tweeting!
- I covered the Bill Henson debacle from beginning to end – more, I think, than any other arts blogger. (pretty sure, I did a lot of searching)
- my husband and I reached a very big decision to start trying for a baby
- I cut out a lot of my pain killers and harmful drugs in anticipation of #13
- I reached 70 and 80 on my main! (oh yes.. I had to put in a WoW one)
- I voted. absentee votes were hard but this year the election really counted. My state was really close (when usually it isn’t) so I feel like my vote made a difference.
- I became obsessed with blindfolds and cast shadows
- my blog traffic jumped massively
- I increased my walking distance and stamina and the pain reduced as a result – I have plateaued really well and built up my strength
- I increased my tolerance for stairs, they are still very very hard, but now no longer impossible.
