IT'S ALMOST 2016....

And I feel like I have got almost nothing accomplished.

Still not finished with my travel writing school that I started sometime at the beginning of the year - but with 12 hour work days and the assignments being mostly about traveling, I feel at a loss for words sometimes, literally.

My love bought me a domain name to set up shop on the web for all my craft projects and that is still not up and running. I need to buy a good photo tent to take awesome pictures of my products so they look professional and not just so-so. I plan on having it open in January, but it would have been nice to have it before the holidays.

I barely write on my blog anymore and I need to. Writing is my passion. I've always loved it and its a way for me to clear my head and make me a little more sane. So I should definitely do this more often.

We bought a house and things are still in boxes. House was purchased and moved into at the end of September and it's the end of November - come on girl get your life together!!! LOL

Wedding planning is going well but not fully completed. Wedding is in June and I still need to book a DJ and photographer. We had a photographer but he backed out due to conflict with work (it was a friend). Found a florist but I need to book a consultation. Have a hair appointment on Tuesday and going to talk to them about doing the hair for the wedding. I know what my centerpieces will look like, and bought some stuff at JoAnn Fabrics to start making it, but still have a long way to go with those. I know what I want but finding it is the problem. I will just be making a lot more trips to craft stores, which is fine by me.

So I guess I have been productive, but I feel like I should be doing more and getting more things accomplished. But on the bright side, I know me and this is pretty good for my procrastinating self. I'll just pat myself on the back for good behavior and hope I can do better next month with all that needs to be done - having Christmas at my house this year so I really, really, really need to get my house in order. Send me good luck vibes, please. I will be needing them. :)

Do you ever feel ...

like you have so many ideas in your head and you don't have enough time or energy to do it all? Well that is totally me.
I want to be a writer, a traveler, a crocheter, a clothesmaker, a foodie ... etc. etc. etc. I want to open my own shop and sell my handmade items, and I did open an etsy shop, and yet I feel like I don't have enough time to promote it because I work 12 hrs a day and when I get home all I want to do is put on my jammies, lay on my couch and watch tv. I don't want to think about work, and though my shop is my hobby it is work getting it up and running. But if I do nothing than none of my dreams will come true. Such is the dilemma.
Every day I am motivated by my peers to do what I love - which is all of the above and more - but I feel so drained after to working to get anything accomplished. I would just like to quit my full-time job and say the heck with it all, and fully delve into my business, but I can't because I wanted to have this big wedding with all of my family and friends and so I have to stick with it for the time being. Damn my childhood wedding dreams! But I know it will happen because I want it to happen and my future hubby believes in me and motivates me to keep my dreams alive. So cheers to him and my future dreams one day coming true. Until then, keep dreaming and dream BIG!!!
