14 in 2014

Here we go.
Intentional.

This is how I want my creative year to be. I want to start a project with the end in mind. So what I will do is very similar to what I did in 2012. I didn’t get to finish everything but I have a 70% success rate – not bad! I also completed so many creative projects that year I was quite proud of myself.

Now to replicate that pride (and up the success rate), I have the following goals:

1. Photography projects. These are year-long goals, with the intention of being able to have an album of the pictures by the end of the year.

• Project 52 (weekly portraits of the kids together & individually) – done.
• Four People Twelve Times (monthly family pictures) – done
• Project Love Me (weekly selfie)

2. Project Life. – currently still doing (Goal: finished by March 2015)
3. Finish Ali Edwards’ 31 Things class with writing outputs (writing exercises – I am still thinking whether I should share my output or not).
4. A-Z about Aggie (writing + photo prompts, inspired by Cathy Zielske). – I want to do this now that I am 33. – currently still doing. (Goal: finished by February 2015)
5. Do A Week in the Life.
6. Do 30 days of lists again.- done
7. Create dream board.
8. Finish one themed album a month, pictures + words. No scrapbooking kits necessary.
9. Finish the kids’ first year albums.
10. Finish Matthew’s elementary school album.
11. Create photo wall.
12. Create Christmas card.
13. Learn a new skill/creative hobby. started lettering & doodling – took class in May, dove into it by November (2014)
14. Be brave enough to start (and finish) Dad’s remembrance book by his first death anniversary (September 1st).

Begin with the end in mind.
The first quarter of 2014 is almost over but it is never too late to start, get organized and CREATE.

Aggie Aviso describes herself as her family’s storyteller and memory keeper. A mom to two kids ages 14 and 8, she is certainly past the age of sleepless nights and adorable pigtails. However, motherhood stays exciting, more meaningful and yes, more challenging. She takes it all in stride, knowing fully well that moments pass by in a blink of an eye. As Gretchen Rubin famously said, “The days are long, but the years are short.” She has discovered how wonderful it is to have those fleeting moments in time documented in their family books and has made it her personal mission and passion to be able to tell their stories for her future grandkids.
