Goals for 2015
OK, so it was quite a hustle to make the item goal for 2014, but it was made by 13! Yes! Life gets in the way sometimes (for good reasons) and I fell behind a bit in 2014 with the arrival of our baby girl. Hey, I am just one person. This is a one woman operation and I do my best! :)
Last year's goals:
Overall goal: 400 items total --->made by 13!
Soaps:150 - made goal!
Scarves: 150 made goal
Hats: 100--fell seriously behind on this time, unfortunately. Only 20 made, collected and distributed, I would like to change this for next year.
Goals for 2015
Overall goal: 450 items
Soaps: 150
Scarves: 200
Hats: 125--> I want to make up for 2014
Item goals give me a lot of wiggle room for surpluses in any item.
Hope to make 2015 a good one--even better than 2014!
