Last week I fixed the leaky toilet that my wife has been reminding me about for 2 months, so I'm pretty much ahead of the game for 2017. Guess I'll start thinking about 2018.

My husband has promised we would do them after the first of the year and I am holding him to it. Once the fireplace is done, we need to get some wood floors installed. Our allergies are too big a problem to continue with wall to wall carpeting in the bedrooms.

I resolve to scan Hometalk and other sites and make all my next year's Christmas presents. The older I get, the less store bought stuff interests me and my family members. So, I want to put a whole years effort into making some quality, meaningful gifts. (I am not really artistic or creative so this is going to be a HUGE, scary undertaking for me!!!)
Make new curtains, and there's a number of spots in the house that need a touch up of paint from a few different accidents.
I'm also seriously thinking about stenciling the floor in my kitchen.
Have 3/4 of my Christmas presents made by May AND the BIG one... my craft organized!!!
Ooh - I love this question. I want to declutter - give away all the stuff I don't use.
I will stop building small and tiny possum sheds in my yard.
I will stop feeding them.
They have become exhausting nuisances for me and my entire family.
Use all my scrap wood to finally make something useful and beautiful!
Paint my living room and refinish my wood floors. Then I'm going to sell my house in cold Colorado and move to a beach house in Roatan, Honduras.
My goal is to do a few things to my house, look for a bigger house to renovate in a cooler climate, start renovation on the new one and eventually move. The immediate goal is to enjoy life more.
