Slow and Some What Steady Progress

Well, it's been a while since I've update my progress on my 101 goal challenge and the reason for that is while I'm getting a few things accomplished the progress is slow. I did finish reading The Magician's Nephew for goal #16. It is the first book in the Narnia series. I was quite surprised because it gives some background as to how Narnia was created and a few of the other characters that isn't in the movie. I can't wait to read the next book to see how it compares to the movie. Since I have finished that book I picked up the first book in A Series of Unfortunate Events.

(#6) I have started working on an album for Mom and Dad about my wedding. It's more like a big mini album but the mini is made and what I need to do now is cut some journaling tags and photo mats with my Cricut, print photos, and embellish.

(#40) Blogging is going a little slower than I had hoped. I wanted to post twice a week and I think the problem is that it takes me a little longer to do my projects and it takes time to take pictures and post them. What I'm thinking of doing to make the blogging a little easier is to maybe do little posts about my favorite links and websites or about some of my favorite product/tools. It looks like I've been blogging at least once a week so I hope these littler ideas will help me post more frequently.

(#41) I am a little frustrated with goal #41 not because it's difficult to carry out or anything but I'm really struggling with the lack of responses. In March, I was looking for some feedback on doing a USTREAM show and only one person responded. So now I'm trying to figure out if it was the post that was lame or the prize that I was offering. So I'm not sure if I will keep offering givaways on my blog if I can't encourage any participation. My January contest was kind of a flop too. I picked 3 winners and only 1 got back to me. It makes me wonder if the people who are following me really read my blog or just followed out of kindness or as part of a swap requirement. Sorry for the rant...done now!

(#53) I'm not sure exactly how many but my follower numbers are up! I think around 35 :)

(#85) I am still going to church regularly. It's even easier now that we're in the season of Lent and there are two times a week to worship!

I think that's all the updates for now. I have been sick the last few days so I am hoping that as soon as I start feeling better I can really start checking of more goals! SB
