Happy New Year!

                                            Happy New Year to you all! 
I wish you the very best in the coming year. 
One of the memorable moments of 2011 was seeing these amazing fireworks next to the Eiffel Tower! I was fortunate enough to go to Paris this past summer, and these photos were taken on  Bastille Day, which is a huge  holiday in France.

 One of my biggest accomplishments in 2011,  was managing to keep off the 40 lbs that I lost in 2010!

I am  continuing to control my diabetes with exercise and diet alone.....yay!

This year,  one of my personal my goals is to continue to stay fit and eating healthy, but to challenge myself even more with more weight training.

I also plan on learning and adding adding a few new  techniques to my jewelry designs. Riveting, working with embellished metal,  trying out some resin pendants and incorporating  leather into some of my creations...are all in the works for this year.

What are your goals or plans for 2012?
