Year of starts 350-365 .plus a bonus start...Thoughts on a year of starts

I am writing this on New Years Day.  It has been an interesting year with all the starts.  I really enjoyed it however, I will never do this again.  I enjoyed kitting up things in my stash and starting all the projects that I wanted to do...however, I have learned that I am a product stitcher (like to finish) rather than a process stitcher.  I like having a purpose and seeing the end!!!
This year will be the year of finishes!!! I have set a goal to finish 81 projects!!! Crazy I know!!  One of those will be Faery Tales...which I finished 2 pages on this week...take a look:

Which mean I have 8 pages left!!!!!  This will be finished this year.

You are here for the starts...so lets see what I worked on the final two weeks.  These are in no particular order except for the last one ...

Year of Starts: Rest of November 320 -334

I have to be honest....updating 2 months of cross stitch starts in one night is tiring. This is what I get for being a huge procrastinator. As I update, I am cleaning out my DVR by watching all my recorded Christmas movies from both Hallmark  channels.  I was supposed to do this on Thanksgiving break but we had company all week and they didn't like Hallmark movies....long story.

So..here are all my starts in November.
