Reaching Goals in 2018

Here we are in the first week of 2019!  I have done a lot of reflecting on 2018 and all that my family and I were able to accomplish.  It is truly amazing the growth that takes place.  I set some goals in early 2018 and I met them.  I am sharing them because I am always looking for inspiration and recommendations.

2. Cricut 

I made a lot of progress in learning and using my Cricut. I do not claim to be crafty or have any master skills in anything that involves creativity.  I made well over 12 projects and I have most of them shared on my Pinterest, so I will just link that here.

Some of my favorite ones were the signs I made for our home. It is an amazing way to have a creative outlet. It also saved me money on buying decor and other things that were just a few dollars to make myself. 

If you are a Cricut or craft person, I have to share my favorite place to get vinyl — https://expressionsvinyl.com/

We had an amazing 2018, and I will get a Year in Review up soon!
