osprey_archer1. Started my new job on January 4.
2. Started playing the dulcimer.
3. Completed Sage, henceforth Diary of a Cranky Bookworm, which I have not yet published for various and sundry reasons even though it is literally all done except the cover. Next year! Next year I will set it free!
4. Traveled to Paris, where I metlittlerhymes in person! We had a delightful time and sometimes sigh about the fact that we are forced to work when clearly we were meant to spend our lives eating pastries in Paris.
5. As a direct result of the Paris trip, took up scrapbooking again after a fifteen-year hiatus.
6. I am one item short and did not want to put that at the end as it seemed anticlimactic. Please let me know if you think of something else I should put on this list!
7. Played at the Feast of the Hunter’s Moon with the Dulcimer Gathering. Since childhood I’ve dreamed of being a part of the Feast, so it was lovely to make that dream come true.
8. Completed my first DnD campaign! My character was the Baron Sebastian Sunslayer, driven from his castle after forcing one too many themed dinner parties on his vassals.
9. Published Deck the Halls with Secret Agents.
10. Bought a house?! Okay, made an offer on a house that has been accepted, have not actually closed yet, BUT STILL. It has a hummingbird stained glass window and I am calling it the Hummingbird Cottage.
