New year wishes...

Well we are a few days into 2011 and I have been thinking about last year and what I aspire for this year. And no matter where 2011 takes me, I know that I am very fortunate to have such wonderful family and friends.

Things I have learnt in 2010

It is ok to say no
Live in the moment and enjoy it
Sometimes you have to realise that it’s their shit not yours (and believe me, this has been a massive learning curve for me)
Gratitude is a humbling thing
Being creative is at my core and I will embrace it
Love, tolerance and compassion for others

To do this year

Learn to use resin on paintings
Fall in love with my sewing machine again
Keep in touch with friends
Follow my dream to be creative
Be healthy
Take an online painting class
Learn pottery
Embrace and celebrate my 40th
Be more creative
Open an etsy shop
Take my art to another level

I wish you all a very happy and healthy New Year.....and let the love flow :o)

Happy New Year and here's to amazing things in 2011

I was just thinking today how funny life turns out.

Here I am, five months away from being 40, and finally with the man I want to be with for the rest of my life. And it started me thinking about how you think life will turn out when you are in your early twenties or younger. The hopes you have and the things you insist you will never do, especially in a relationship……then one day you look back and realise that things just didn’t work out as you had thought. And then you realise that you’re reaching that age where life begins and you are grateful that they didn’t work out that way….as you wouldn’t be here now.

Here’s to an exciting new year to us all :o)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I just wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I wish you all health, happiness and love.....and an amazing 2011.

Thank you for stopping by my blog and here's to an exciting New Year!

Much love.
