Happy New Year
to all my lovely blog readers....
as i look back over 2011 , its been an interesting with some very lovely highlights and some not so good ones....all in all not a bad year but i hope 2012 will be way better.....
i found this journal page, i made on Jan 1. it was a part of 10 min art journalling a day , i lasted 3 days lol.
art journalling it seems, is not for me....
anyway it made me quite depressed as i have only managed to tick one thing off for the WHOLE year [probably why i stopped making new years resolutions years ago]
Anyhow, those are still my goals so i will just keep plugging away.....
Have you noticed how people have words for the year that they try to live by?
nice words like
true,compassion,refine, collaborate, authentic [liked that one patty], create etc....
well mine for 2011 ended up being ......stressed !
and for 2012?
purge....
yes purge , it has a nice ring to it doesn't it ?
i am decluttering my life of all the crapola that has built up over the years....my family is not impressed as i have started on our books and then the linen closet , oh wait it was the fabric cupboard from hell . i now have 3 shelves for linen, what a luxury.... i will make some people very happy with my purging so its win win for everybody :)
anyhow enough rambling i would like to thank you all for the wonderful inspiration, eye candy and lovely comments, but, most off all the wonderful friendships :) online and otherwise....wouldn't it be lovely to meet up some day?
i hope the New Year brings you ...
good health [always my number one cos without it you are stuffed !]
enough money to keep the wolf from the door
and
good times with family and friends....
looking forward to cocktails and vids with my family tonight.....
Happy New Year !!!!!

Happy New Year Jen I have tried to think of a word but they all sound so corny to me.
I hope we can meet one day it would be wonderful.
Yes Jen... 'purge' sounds more friendly than stressed... decluttering is great... doing lots of that myself...
Enjoy your New Year's Eve, my beautiful friend...
Let's hope 2012 is a cracker :))

Hi Jen, it was so lovely to meet you this year and hopefully this year I will get across to your side of town and visit. Have a creative weekend!
Yes, health is always first on my list of wishes for family and friends...so important. As you say, without it you are 'stuffed'.
Wishing you and your family health, happiness and prosperity for 2012. Hope you had fun last night (and didnt drink too many cocktails!!!).
Sending love,
Jacky xox
Happy New Year Jen!
Purge is a good word. I actually started purging my craft space a couple of weeks ago and still going!
Thank you for sharing your art and I look forward to checking out your blog in 2012.
That list sounds good to me, hope it was a good one. Here's to a fabulous 2012 - it will be if we make it (quite a responsibility tho!) x
Purge is an excellent word! I just purged 2 drawers of used bubble envelopes! 50 of them! Keeping them just in case I needed to mail things. I kept 5. Sheesh. Luckily I am a teacher an I can use up so much or my crap... Er... Art supplies.. At school.
Happy happy New Year to you Jen!
Love the word 'purge' I really should do more of that too! I have a number of 'problem areas' in my house hmmm less said about that the better...
I look forward to another year of your wonderful creativity!

Take care my friend
