Hey y’all… Happy Tuesday!😘
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
How it works:
I assign each Tuesday a topic and then post my top ten list that fits that topic. You’re more than welcome to join me and create your own top ten (or 2, 5, 20, etc.) list as well. Feel free to put a unique spin on the topic to make it work for you! Please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own post so that others know where to find more information.
Today’s Post:
January 12: Resolutions/Hopes for 2021 (bookish or not!)
I mentioned this last week I think but ICYMI:
* I don’t really have RESOLUTIONS per say, more like INTENTIONS (because I’m a procrastinator by nature..!)
* I also have an INSPIRING PHRASE from a country song by John Michael Montgomery:
* I chose this phrase because my INTENTIONS are to unleash my creative side with sewing and painting, both hobbies I’ve always enjoyed but stopped doing for one reason or another. Last year, I started a rock garden which I’ll continue to work on in the spring when the weather isn’t so cold (what can I say?…I’m a Texas girl!). About 7 or 8 years ago, I used to sell felt ornaments and stockings on eBay but my fibromyalgia got the best of me. So, I’m back to sewing, taking it slower and I’m HOPING to open an Etsy shop sometime this year! I’ll have to “Learn as I go…”! 😌😏
* My next INTENTION is to try audiobooks!! I tried once a few years ago and I’ll admit, I didn’t give it much time so I actually joined a challenge to give me a push and a shove. My intention is to listen to 5 audiobooks this year…🤔😁
Good luck with your intentions 🙂

Great list! I need to work on getting my TBR down (theres definitely some that’s been there for more than two year! Oops.) and good luck with your skills! I’d already done this prompt in another post so I had a go at my top ten favourite albums lol. You seem like you’d have good taste in music, what are yours? Here are mine 😊 https://hundredsandthousandsofbooks.blog/2021/01/12/ttt-12-1-top-ten-albums/
