Happy New Year!
For the past 99 Fridays, I've been tracking my efforts to create a
life of art for myself. Here's a look at what I accomplished in 2011.
I added 48 new photographs and designs to my Rocklawn Arts shop. My goal was to add 1 new design per week which totally didn't happen, but I still came close to 52 for the year. You'll see why I don't mind falling short in the next bullet.
I added 26 new product types to Rocklawn Arts for a total of 2711 new items (includes about 100 templates):
Necklaces
Portable Speakers
Wrapped Canvas
9 new Case-Mate cases:
iPod Touch cases
2 types of iPhone 3G/3GS cases
3 types of iPhone 4/4S cases
Samsung Galaxy S (T-Mobile Vibrant) cases
BlackBerry Curve 8520/9300 cases
BlackBerry Bold 9700/9780 cases
Ties
Tile Gift Boxes
Small Gift Boxes
Notebooks
Puzzles
Flexible Magnets
Gel Mousepads
Plates
Coasters
Laptop Sleeves
Photo Plaques
3 types of Specialty Mugs which include bone china, espresso, and jumbo mugs.
Watched a crazy amount of Creative Live workshops. I would count or link to them all but I'm running out of steam. The biggest gain for me was how much I learned about Photoshop and have been able to apply.
Read 51 books, scripts, or book-like things. Not everything shows up on GoodReads, but most of it's there if you'd like to take a look.
There's more I'm sure, exhibits and outings, but I'm anxious to get back to 2012's life of art endeavors. Cheers!
UPDATED 1/2/12: I am remiss for not mentioning that
I donated $118 from my Rocklawn Arts proceeds to WriteGirl as part of Colleen Wainwright's 50-for-50 fundraiser.
I also donated at least $8.25 (numbers for November and December aren't in yet) to Room to Read via referrals from my Squidoo lenses. Not much I realize, but I like the idea of having philanthropy built into my business even if only on a small scale.
