This summer I'm keeping it simple! My work goal list is out of control so I felt these personal goals should be realistic and attainable. Each one will add quality to my daily life. 1. Finish our home makeover. Easier said than done, but we've been making some good progress since returning from our honeymoon. It's definitely looking cuter than ever around here. 2. Frame, hang and print out wedding photos. I still haven't done this with with our engagement photos, so I know how easy it is to forget. I love having a lot of visual memories around our home, so this goal will be a good one to complete! 3. Buy a bicycle and ride it. First I need to find one, which means I need to go to the flea markets more... sounds good. Then I want to give it a little makeover (already have the colors planned out, of course) and ride it around town. This is, by far, my most difficult goal because I know I'll be pretty busy. That said, I really want to do it! 4. Develop Holga Film from wedding & Honeymoon. Again, I know how bad I can be about this because I have a couple rolls right now that are over a year old. All I need to do is drop them off at the photo shop. This is a must! At our wedding we had some Holgas sitting on tables at the reception and all the film got used (yay!)... very curious to see the photos from those rolls. Umm... and that last goal is work related, so never mind. I was just giving myself a reminder to focus on preparing for Autumn because it's a very busy time in the retail word.... can never be too prepared!
What are you goals for this summer? Leave me a link here and I'll read your blog post too! XO, elsie
you are so stunning!!

Love it! I always make huge lists of goals for seasons but they always seem a bit over ambitious. This summer my biggest goal is to dip into film photography, I just stocked up on 120 for an adorable twin-lens camera I bought sooo long ago.

I blogged my Winter goals (Southern Hemisphere girl here! :D) a few weeks ago:

Yay! I love goal lists. Such fun goals you have too! I found my vintage bike on eBay, it was important for me to get one that had been fixed up after having a cheapy one from a garage sale that looked adorable but was unridable. Now I notice there are tons of cute vintage-style (but new) bikes for sale, but I like my old one, she has personality :)

I love your goals, they're precious! I also envy that you have a place that will develop your holga film. I'm in So Cal and no one will do it. :(
Love and Turtledoves

Beautiful portrait & good summertime goals! We got married in July 2010 and our photos are printed but still in a plastic bag... shame on us! My main goal for this summer is to sew more clothes for me as I settled this winter in US, bringing with me almost only winter clothes :S

Great goals!! I need to print some photos as well. These are my goals, except I seem to have added, "write more letters" to the list.

Ha I just blogged my summer goals a couple weeks ago. I found this year I should try a few more general, less specific goals, coz specificity is what gets me.
