How I met my art goals or Shoot for the Moon

In July I assessed my 2012 goal progress and I was well on the way, and then I moved. A major slow down and can you believe I am still not even unpacked all the way. Some of you are also aware that as a family, we suffered through the trials of various cancer treatments until my sister could no longer fight the fight any longer. Such sadness and grief, yet her courage and attitude lingers with me giving me a refreshed outlook on life. Thank you all for being a part of my journey. So here's my art year in review:
