Expectations - Unrealistic as they may be

So, I've done it again, placed some unrealistic (for me) expectations upon my self. I decided to take a picture a day for the month of December, I'm just not taking enough pictures, and I'm hoping that by committing to doing this it will help me see with a different eye, and remind me to utilize my camera more. Of course, a new digi camera for Christmas wouldn't hurt either! So, that's expectation #1, and as a result (insert big pat on the back here) here are my pics from Friday, December 1st, a mass of ornaments laying on the table


and today, Saturday, December 2nd, self portrait of me and E at one of her favorite restaurants "The Bonger".
It's a better picture of her than it is of me. I am looking slightly crazed and "wild eyed", but oh well. what's done is done.
So, expectation number two is another of Shimelle's classes. I signed up for the Journal Your Christmas class last year, got a few pages done, always intended to pick it back up, but that just didn't happen. So, I'm doing it again this year. With the full intention of staying caught up and completing it on time! (So don't tell anyone that I'm already two days behind!) Having a hard time getting started quite honestly because I want to completely start over, but still have the pages that I completed last year in my brain. And I want a different feel this year. So, I"m thinking a little retail therapy is in order! There are a bunch of FontWerks stamps that I've been coveting, and a few from Cat's Life Press, and I think those will bring me inspiration. If not, well there's always a trip to Archivers! Off to shop!
