Get It Done--June/July 2013

It's hard to believe that the year is half over! Where has the time gone? I have found that Judy's Getting It Done Challenge has helped keep me focused on sticking to my goals each month, which has led to more steady progress on my projects. Every once in a while I get caught up in trying something new, or I decide to switch over to something quick and easy that wasn't on my list. However, I am very happy to be keeping up on both of my BOM projects. One of my goals for the whole year was to finish more projects than I start. I'm not sure I will reach that goal, but I have definitely been finishing more of my old projects lately.

Here's how I did on my goals for June, followed by my list for July.
