15 BEFORE 2015 challenge!

I had started this a few weeks ago, and got overwhelmed by the busy Christmas Fairs period... and now I have only 3 weeks left AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Thankfully, I can already tick some off the list!


Following in the footsteps of a good friend and brilliant artist Amélie Gagné http://www.ameliegagnestudio.com I am taking on the challenge to fulfill these 15 goals before the end of the year!

1. Have a most enjoyable time and profitable experience at the Christmas Fairs, including the Macroom Christmas Market, The Boherbue Christmas fair, The Wine and Art at the Malton Killarney and the Christmas craft and food fair at the Outlet Killarney.

2. Put my feet up for a couple of days after the fairs are over :)

3. Branding, branding, branding: work on having a clear strategy for branding in 2015, including a company image and story, a list of products new ones, ones that will stay and ones that will have to go!

4. Do some local advertising, get known in my own county!

5. Have a detailed year planning for 2015


6. Design my new studio

Yeah! I wish!!

7. Secure more retailers for my prints of Ireland

8. Had a few more paintings from outside the Ring of Kerry to my collection of paintings for prints.

                                                         9. Make some delicious sweet treats for the holiday season


10. Create a festive, magical atmosphere in our beautiful home for my two little elves who have done so well while I was so busy everyday.

11. Spend some relaxing, quality time with my other half.

12. Refocus on speaking my native French to my children. With the hectic schedule, I have let it slipped and I can see the difference with  my daughter already.

13. Do a massive clean up of the house... I won't say how long since I've mopped a floor... shameful!

14. Treat myself to something... not sure what yet, but gotta look after no1 ;)

15. Have fun, being with my family, at work, in my studio, enjoy every moment!
