Artist How To 2008 Goals and Looking Back at 2007

Today is December 30th and naturally I have been thinking about the activity at AHT over the past year. So here is a brief list;

• Polymer Palette eBook Editions; Heads, Hands and Feet
• PolymerPeople.com Page/Site Added
• Polymer Clay Fall Projects
• Total of Free Lessons and Tutorials increased to 75
• New Image Collections
• Blog look changed and RSS option added
• Gift Certificates available
• ETSY Shop
• Sales from site, in November and December at an all time high!
• Advertised in publications
• Articles in various publications including Polymer Cafe

A more personal thing for me, I grew my own cotton here in my home garden. I took photos along the way to document the process. ‘Will Art For Food’

Some of the AHT Goals for 2008

• Redo site - make slicker and user friendly - definite plan by Jan 14
• Double Advertising Budget
• More Free Lessons and Tutorials
• Polymer People Torso

Personal Goals for 2008

• Run a 5k
• Get in good enough shape to run 5k and not die
• Spend more time doing nothing
• Spend extra time with Hawkeye (dog)
• Stick to a regular work schedule
• Spend money wise
• Be nicer to my fellow humans
• Give more away
• Be decisive
• Play

So there you have it! Before we know it it will be 2008 and we will all start with a clean slate. Let’s forget all the old baggage and live the life that before we were only wishing we had.

This is it, no trial runs, no practice. So let’s make 2008 the best yet!!

This past week the weather has permitted e to get the garden started. Along with the standard vegetable fair I will be including items we artists can use for create purposes.






Yes, this i an image of the garden area. Initially I thought that 450 sq feet would be enough, but after dividing the area up on paper, I will need to add to it.

FYI after planting a few seeds, about 1/3 of the space, I am sore in areas that I forgot I had. (Back of hand on forehead) Oh how an artist must suffer for their work ;0)
