And So The Year Begins

Well Day 3 of 2010 - are they to be the teens or the tweens given that we traditionally say being a teenager begins at 13?

How has your year begun? Mine has started really well. We welcomed the New Year/Decade with 2 of our closest friends, got to bed about 2am which is way late for us, but had the most wonderful evening full of good food, good friends/new friends, and lots and lots of laughter especially at midnight when I was really tired and kissed my hubby on the check instead of on the mouth!!

Yesterday was my Mum's 78th birthday and I celebrated by going shopping for manchester/linen and got some beautiful new towels - 2 x turquoise bath sheets and 2 x sunshine yellow bath sheets with a bath mat, plus some new bed sheets - I don't like shopping but I love buying linen especially towels. We also got an awesome chocolate and raspberry mousse cake to take to Mum's in the afternoon - yummy - and obviously no calories. It was a great evening with my kids and grandkids coming along to celebrate with Mum.

This morning I woke up to a hot blue sky - so I can see it will be a day indoors for me to keep cool.

If the year has started this well it can only one hopes keep getting better. Hope your New Year is treating you the same.

Hello 2010!

Hello lovely readers! Thank you SO much for your New Year wishes.

2009 was a year of creativity for me. I first posted some of my photos on Flickr in February and, fueled by the sweet comments I was getting, I started taking more and more! My Flickr account now has nearly 500 pics and has had over 75,000 views!

I started this blog in order to share where I bought some of the items in my photos, or how I went about making them. I've also been able to share some of the wonderful things I've found, whether it's an amazing artist, a brilliant photographer, or a new boutique or brand.

Some of my personal favourites from 2009 were:

Easter Mosaic
Easter Decorating



Finding the wonderful Illustrations by Matilou



Getting pretty with candy


Pretty 2009
Pretty baking, completing my laundry tin, and the "Rooster Party"!

You guys are amazing and have been so sweet and kind to me, helping me to push my creativity to the limits. Along the way, I've also discovered some of the most beautiful, funny and inspiring blogs.

I am buzzing with excitement for the possibilities in 2010, especially since Santa brought me a Nikon DSLR camera for Christmas!

I wish you all a New Year filled with love, laughter, health, and creativity!
