Each month, I pick a couple to work on. At the end of the month, I review my progress. By the end of the year, I've worked through the list, or at least most of it, and check off what I've accomplished.Denielle Radcliff Kochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07157352583782702854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989121904965444460.post-6002828474127182812012-01-04T15:21:55.780-06:002012-01-04T15:21:55.780-06:00Nancy, you are too kind!

I would concur, for me monthly goals is just too much. <br /><br />Sierra, I also have had great luck with Italian family research through the LDS. The films I need to order will hopefully help either pin an ancestral home down or rule it out. I've been procrastinating for some time on it and just need to rip off the Band Aid! Your idea for a photo quilt is great! I'll have to look in to that fabric...Heather Kuhn Roelkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247311735034470203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989121904965444460.post-3500087596079348152012-01-04T11:33:33.635-06:002012-01-04T11:33:33.635-06:00I too have a hard time balancing my hobbies.

I used it for some blocks in a family wedding blanket last year. It might be a good way to combine your hobbies and create a great gift for your grandma.<br /><br />I also totally recommend #2 on your list. I ordered some film from the FHL for my grandfather's hometown in Italy. This is a line that I knew nothing about. I have been able to find 5 generations and a new genealogy buddy researching the same town.<br /><br />Have a great year!Sierrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03193023613589962376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989121904965444460.post-18223641928905970902012-01-03T23:14:55.141-06:002012-01-03T23:14:55.141-06:00Heather, I had to chuckle when I read your second ...Heather, I had to chuckle when I read your second sentence. I don't like to fail but I particularly don't like to fail publicly. But I've taken on a "to do" list instead of goals. Not only that, I'm doing the monthly list with Stephanie at Corn and Cotton (http://cornandcottongenealogy.blogspot.com/). It may be too much for me and I'll stop after the January list. We'll see.<br /><br />I have to say I especially like the background color of your blog and I don't think any of the rest of it is boring, either.<br /><br />Best wishes with your goals. I think they are excellent and sound very doable in a year.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.com
