Goal #46: Become better at doing manicures and painting nail designs (Complete)

I'm listing this one as complete, but there is always room for improvement!  I love doing manicures and always try to take good care of my nails.  While I have gotten pretty good at doing designs, I don't have any pictures of my nails with a painted design.  Instead I have pictures with different nail techniques I know, so I'll post those.  Yes, those are my real nails.

Goal #47: Meet somebody famous (Update)

So, I know I've already completed this goal, but I met another famous person!  Well, a band.  The All-American Rejects!  I'm not a huge fan, but a few weeks ago, one of my friends invited me to go to one of their concerts with her.  After the show, if you bought something from the merch table, you were given permission to meet the band and get an autograph.  Unfortunately, they weren't allowing pictures, so I just took a picture of my ticket that they signed!  The signatures are messy, but all of the members signed it!


Goal #59: Finish the dolphin cross-stitching I've been working on for years! (Complete)

In all fairness, I actually completed this one a couple years ago.  I had a picture of it on my phone, and being the tech-disabled person that I am, it took me a long time to get it off of my phone!  I didn't want to post about it until I had the picture (and no, I couldn't take another picture with a normal camera because the cross-stitch has been packed away somewhere).  Anyway, I got this cross-stitch when I was maybe about ten years old from one of my aunts.  I was just starting to learn how to cross-stitch, but this one was much larger than what I was used to, so I was too intimidated by it to start.  I eventually started a few years later, but ended up losing the pattern I needed!  It wasn't until about three years ago that I found it, so I finally finished it!  I used to love dolphins, so I really like this one.  Since then, I have done a smaller design of a geisha with an umbrella, and now I am working on a really big one of four kimonos!


Goal #30: Work on my signature (Complete)

I figure it's about time I post this.  I am finally satisfied with the way my signature looks.  I did this one a couple of days ago.  I just hope it keeps looking this way!  So far, so good!
