2012 is over- thank goodness! It was an eventful year, but not the best year. I set a new record for myself and when to 8 conventions. I don't think that will happen again for a while. Its time to get serious about getting my own space- and way past time. I am drowning in boxes of craft and sewing supplies in my tiny room. So I will have to go threw a major purge of stuff before a moving day comes.
My nephew has grown so much in this year, turned 1 in the spring and started walking just a week after, then running the day after! Now he is talking more and goes to Daycare. He has become a bigger part in my life then I ever imagined anyone would, and my heart melts when her runs up to me with his big toothy grin. I have never spent so much on Christmas presents before!!!

I had a one year anniversary with my "boyfriend" then we broke up a few weeks later. I feel like the biggest jerk because I can't maintain a long distance relationship- and the reason he moved was to better himself and go to school. But in the one year we were together I was lucky if I saw or really spoke to him more than once a month. He lived 2 hours away and worked different hours. I was not feeling like I was really in a relationship for a long time, but he was fun when he was around so it was hard to tell him. I hope he finds someone who can appreciate who he is, and share more of his beliefs.
I won a Best in Show for my category individually at a convention in November! I was so excited for a bit, but then it sets in that it is a very small convention and I was the only one in my category that competed in both craftsmanship and performance- so, ya. It was still a fun weekend with friends, and we got to go to the Ben and Jerry's Factory!!!!

I picked up a new hobby-kinda. Some co-workers and I took a hula hoop class together and I loved it! I want to do more! I want to look for more classes in the spring, and start walking and hooping in the park with co-workers if they are up for it. I even worked a little hula hoop into a skit in June and won a performance award. Also the next 2 conventions after that I used some color guard stuff and loved it! Makes me want to do more with that again!
