HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Are you challenging yourself to any resolutions this year? I haven't chosen any new projects or goals just yet, but I'd love to hear about yours. I could use some inspiration.

Just for fun, check out this article by znow-white about some memorable moments in the Resources Gallery in 2008.
