I plan on continuing my Challenges idea from this year. I'm still mulling over what my first few Challenges will be although they will fit into the usual categories: knitting, stitching, reading, writing, and fitness.

Just a few thoughts off the top of my head:

**another round of P90X Lean
**some sort of Olympic crafting challenge(knitting or stitching--still thinking)
**possibly some sort of finishing WIPs challenge

Thanks Kim :)
It's that March FO that's taking up most of my energy these days ;o) Can't wait to show 'BOB' off, when the time comes. (I'm thinking the knitting FOs will only trickly out in dribs and drabs after that point.)
