Resolutions for 2011

After reading Maria Killam's 2011 resolution post on her blog Colour Me Happy, I'm compelled to write a list myself.  Nothing like a little blog peer pressure to hold my feet to the fire! Here goes:

{Can you recommend a good paint to cover tiles?}

1. Paint over the crocus tiles in my kitchen. We bought our home less than three years ago, and I cannot look at these tiles for another year. So much to remodel in this house, but I'll make my resolution manageable!

2. Revamp my Loretta Fontaine Jewelry business logo, blog and website. The logo and website looked good five years ago, and now look a bit dated. And this four month old blog APPLESandRUBIES? - time to give it a more professional shine!

3. Do a dive off the board and swim the four strokes decently -Front Crawl, Backstroke, Breaststroke and Butterfly for 25 yards each, with a proper turn at the wall between each stroke. I'm heading to my fourth Intro to Competitive Swimming Class next Tuesday. Please wish me luck on this one - My flutter kick is not fluttering.

4. I'm really thrilled on how amazing 2010 turned out for my business, but for 2011, a dozen new jewelry designs, including a bracelet (I'm asked every year!)

5. Put up a beautiful inspiration board in my jewelry studio.

May I guest blog for YOU?

6. Be asked to be a guest blogger on three blogs in 2011,  I'm ready and willing! Any topic you can dream up! Email me!!!

Wish me luck! My seventh and last  resolution would be a bit open-ended: look for bliss and balance. Balance between family (yes, I have a husband and three kids) and business, and bliss in exploring new opportunities with an open heart!
