Is the year flying by, or is it just me? I sent out some New Year’s cards last week and some snow-themed letters this week. I feel like I was a terrible pen pal for most of 2017, so one of my goals is to do better this year. 
Some of my other goals for 2018 are:
- apply to 10 craft shows
- list regularly in my Etsy shop
- add vintage postage to my Etsy shop
- take another screen printing class
- start a podcast with Naoto
- get the apartment organized once and for all
- paint our bedroom
- post here at least twice a week, maybe even on a regular schedule!
- as usual, spend out my stationery and paper stash
- host Hasegawa Happy Hours again
- host more dinner parties
- cook more with Naoto, especially Japanese recipes
- turn off the TV more often
What are your goals for the year?

As always mail looks festive. Wow, what a list!! Puts me to shame. Maybe I should start one, but know how that would go. Enjoy. Enjoy seeing your blogs.
I always say that I’m going to use up the stationery that I have before buying more but I’m beginning to think I literally can’t handle that 🙈 Your goal of painting your bedroom made me think that perhaps I should make it a goal to finish painting my bathroom (I only started three years ago 😝). Hope you’re staying warm. Look forward to checking out the podcast if it comes to fruition.
