Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year to everyone.  This year is a year a wonderful and great changes.  I have made one resolution for myself this year.  Some people would choose to loose weight, get organized, and other things that are very common for resolutions.  I am choosing to keep negativity that I can choose to keep out of my life and only bringing in the positive.  I feel if we can keep the negative out and keep the positive in then everything else will fall into place.  I would love to read more than I have been.  I tried to make time last year but I put games in front of it.  So I will make time for it everyday especially having reading time with my boys.  I do have a very high goal for this year also.  I would love to go back to school to get my education degree with online schooling.  Every year I have put it off but I would really love to put my best foot forward and push to get it done.

For Jodi's Craft Emporium, I will be setting goals for each month to keep focused.  My goals for January is:

1) Make 10 samples per day:  I belong to two sample boxes per month to help with promotion of my shop.
2) List an item everyday
3) Promote everyday
4) Blog everyday
5) Run a give-away through my facebook page for Jodi's Craft Emporium
6) Create Team and Non-Team Treasuries a day:  This is what I do to help other shops and promote them through Etsy.
7) 650 Sales
8) 900 Admirers
9) 420 Circles
10) 500 fans on facebook

These maybe high goals but I will work hard to achieve them.  The past two years I have slacked on my shop due to the passing of my dad and grandma in 2010 and still getting over the shock of what happened in 2010 last year.  Now its head in gear time to get my shop back to the way it use to be.

I hope everyone is enjoying their first day of the new year and sending wonderful wishes for the new year to all of you.
