Plans/Hopes/Dreams for 2011

1. SCREEN PRINTING: I just started a freelance design job with a company that does screen printing among other things which means I get access to their equipment and I hope to start doing my own screen printing and design and print a small line of adorable tees. Soooo excited about this!

2. MARKETING: This year I'd really like to grow KittenPaws doing more advertising and interacting with other small businesses locally and through the interwebs

3. ILLUSTRATION: I just started a daily illustration project I'm super excited about. My drawing skills are so rusty so this project will be really good for me.

4. TRAVEL: Last year I took two big trips that left me out of state and country for almost half of the year. This year I don't have any big trips planned but I'd really like to visit some friends that have moved away to LA, Portland, and NYC

5. REDEMPTION CHURCH: My church, Praxis has merged with another church to become Redemption Church, super excited about this and can't wait to see how the community comes together

6. WEB DESIGN: I've been doing more web design lately which I love. I already have a couple of super amazing clients that I am so excited to continue to work with

7. PHOTOGRAPHY: I hope to work on some more conceptual photo projects as well as continue doing fashion and portrait work

8. YOGA: I want to get into yoga. When I was in college I took a few dance and theater classes and yoga was an important part of many of our warm up excercises. I really enjoyed this time and would love to do something physically challenging again.

9. COACHELLA: Hopefully going to Coachella for the first time EVER!!!

10. FASHION FOCUS: I hope to make this blog a little bit more fashion focused including more inspiration posts and what I wore posts :)

  3. I wish my church had much more sense of community. So many times I feel it lacks unity. That must have been so hard to be away from your boyfriend that long. I am so glad you have been reunited!
