2014 was about 10,000 times better than the year before. It was a year of healing and change for my family. And a year of finding balance between work and life.
Biz Stuff:

- Embraced teaching more in person and enjoyed creating online classes.
- Sold my beads at the two biggest bead shows in the country - Bead & Button and BeadFest.
- Worked on my second book, finishing up and sending it in very soon! It will be available in early 2016.
- Hosted another fun and successful autumn Bead Retreat. Loved spending time with such an amazing group of women.

- Booked several classes and retreat for 2015 and have a few in the works and finalizing details.
Personal Stuff:
- Took two amazing online illustration courses and worked on adding new illustrations to my portfolio.
- My oldest daughter graduated, turned 18 and started taking college courses.
- Moved to a new house in October. Which we love very much but turned my life upside down for a while.
- My Step-Dad beat cancer into remission, my mom became a super hero.
- I learned to set business hours and enjoy time off - it was not easy!!!
2015 will be filled with new beads and new adventures, I am looking forward to enjoying each moment as it unfolds.
Wishing you peace, health and happiness for 2015!

Wow what an awesome year. You all cram so much into your lives, which is absolutely inspirational. Your energy and enthusiasm just bursts from the screen. I have spent the past three weeks suffering with influenza, and am still rough with a hacking cough! That's after having a flu jab to protect us from it! Feeling so cross because I can't join in your challenge. But I will as soon as I can
