It will be amazing to have a place to scrap again, soon...

my current dream/ goal is to get back to my prebaby weight, which I just had her 5 months ago.. I need to kick my bad habits and get back on the healthy train!!! also I have a dream of finding out where we are going to live this summer, since it's up in the air and we are in limbo, I hate that!! LOL

[Jennifer Grace]

My dream at the moment is to get a little organisation into my life, so that I can balance crafting, kids, and housework, without feeling stressed that something's being left out! I've been trying all year, and it's working a little, so I just have to keep trying!

My main tip to reach your dreams / goals is to tell other people about them. So often we keep these things bottled inside, and they just seem unachievable. But if you tell people about the things you'd love to do, they can offer suggestions on how to make it happen, and you're more 'accountable' so you make yourself try harder! So commenting here is one way to help reach those goals!

[Karen G (Cardcrazed)]

One of my dreams is for our family in the West to go back East to visit my youngest, who is in university there. I've been east, but not that far east. And hubby and my oldest have never been further east than Alberta :)
