Before 2011 begins tonight, I thought it was a good idea to see what I've learned or accomplished through the year...
* Matt and I moved to Portland, Oregon (our dream city), by miraculously driving my Ford Escort across the country without dying.
* Applied for six juried shows, made it into three of them and had my first solo exhibition.
* Launched my website- krystalbooth.com- and began this blog with December being the best month yet. Thank you for taking time out to visit "blank canvas"!
* Made Thanksgiving turkey for the first time- nevermind the fact that it tasted like tuna.
* Matt and I saw the Pacific Ocean for the first time in our lives.
* Discovered the bliss that is the bread pudding at the Beaverton Bakery.
* Learned that Skype negates the miles that separate.
* Made bread for the first time from scratch in my own kitchen...Samm, Matt and I began dreaming of owning a bakery until we made a batch of sourdough. Stinktastic!!!!
* We adopted little Ivan (kitten) and our other cat, Olive, has been blissfully thankful ever since! (It should also be noted here that we have managed to keep two living beings alive and well for a year...).
* Had an amazing end of the year while I was teaching- had the best year with the best students!
* Gained three blessings through separate sets of friends having children for the first time- three newborn baby boys who are so loved already and have been graced with the best parents imaginable!
Happy New Year to all of you, and I hope that you take the time to reflect about your accomplishments this year. Cheers to you and your families in 2011! May this year be better than the last!

love you schwann! happy new year to you!
and yes, sourdough bread smelled like foul body funk.
Love you too! May I suggest that we make an additional resolution to not make sourdough in 2011?
