The Wishing Jar

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Welcome back to the Wishing Jar. How did your week's pan out? Did you work towards your bite-size goals? I learnt a few new html tricks and wrote a skeleton for my first chapter. If you didn't join in last week, here's how it works: Pop into the jar a few small wishes for the week. Nothing too big, something small that is achievable in seven days. Here's mine:
  • Make my own flavoured green tea
  • Smile more when making my videos
  • Learn how to take nice photos of myself
  • Buy the new Lush Strawberry massage bar
  • Finish reading "Outliers" and "Dead Until Dark".

  3. iZ I think one of the most important things with that is organisation :) If I make a succinct list of things I want to get done the night before and prioritise them, then I usually get done everything I need to!

    Thanks walk the sand :)

    Sounds like fantastic wishes Joanne :) Try putting freshly squeezed lemon in your water, might help the transition and it tastes really nice.

  5. oooh this is a lovely idea. I'm interested by the making your own green tea thing. I'd love to know how. If you succeed, maybe you could do a how-to post? *wishes*

    Other than that, I wish to find a new book to read, start some new illustrations, and go to a group fitness class at the gym on my own (scary).

    And I got those patent flats at DFO (airport). From one of those massive shoe stores. Hope that helps!

  7. Hi Lola!
    This is a fantastic idea. I might actually track down my own jar and make one of these. Much cuter than sticking a to-do list on the fridge ;)
    This week I want to:
    - Play Wii Fit 3x
    - Finish my current book
    - Makeover my blog :)
    These should be easily done!

    - take proper sleep
    - eat more vegetables
