    My New Year's resolution is to not make a "to do" list, but instead to live each day to the fullest and learn to smell the roses each and every day! Remember "It's a beautiful life" out there.......
    Happy New Year!

    I don't know if you call it a resolution, but I do have plans to make new quilts for my house.
    I also got a new quilting machine so now i can actually finish the ones I started, so that is what I will be doing this year, lots of quilting, UFO's.
