Checking in on my 2022 Goals

1. 100 Jewels and Gemstones 2.0 Paper Dolls

Technically, last week I posted my 99th Jewels and Gemstones post, but it wasn’t actually my 99th set, because there are round up posts and other J&G related posts in the that category. So, I think if I am counting right, there’s more like 98 at this point. Anyway, I’m pretty sure I’ll meet this goal by the end odd 2022, one way or another and that makes me happy.

2. 10 Historical Paper Dolls

So, we started the year with this fantastic 1960s set and there have been nine so far. Other then a short dip into the Italian Renaissance, almost everything has been 20th century. While the last time I asked my patrons, 1910 won my poll, I think I’d like to do something else not 20th century, so I need to decide on a period. Regency stuff is very popular these days, or maybe something 18th century? I haven’t done that in a while… I do have a big 1950s set in progress, but I confess I’m a little stalled on it.

3. Send Things to OPDAG for Paper Doll Review

Achieved! I mailed off my plaid contribution this month and I sent out animals already. The next theme is World Adventures, but I am not 100% sure what that means, so I may give that one a pass. We’ll see how I feel when I get closer to the December deadline.

4. Finish Another Book/Print Project

So, this one is on pause. I’m very proud of the book I created on Lulu, but I have had mixed feelings about the quality of the prints that I have gotten from Lulu. I may need to come up with another option for this. I have ideas. But it may not look like I had planned it to look.

5. Continue with the Newsletter for 2022

So far so good! I do enjoy making my little newsletter. Sign up here, if you haven’t. It’s a project that while I enjoy it, I am not 100% I’ll keep going in 2023. I guess I’ll decide how I feel when I get there.

6. 10 Dolls Du Jour This Year

All right, well, there’s 7 so far. I think we’ll hit 10. I have faith. I’ve got one whose going up later this week and then I need to draw some more, but I am full of confidence that this one is going to work out just fine.

So, I think, in terms of my goals for 2022, I am feeling pretty good.
