Looking back it all seemed a bit of a blur, so this morning I decided to read through my account of the year on my blog - I've now posted a favourite photo from each month. If you can visit Heather today, you will see that she has done the same thing - I thought this was such a lovely idea to share. Very few of us have time to keep a diary now-a-days, but at least a few fleeting moments are stored forever within our blog posts....I hope you will enjoy my selection:
January - My handmade keepsake boxes
February - Flea market finds
March - Easter; time to share the bounty
April - A day out in Bath
May - My new workroom was completed
June - Flowers from a friend
July - Vintage treasure hunting
August - Our family holiday to Devon
September - Nostalgic postcards of summers past
October - My collection shared
November - Visiting family and friends in Norfolk
December - Christmas and a time to reflect
I hope that 2008 has been kind to you and that you will enjoy celebrating tomorrow night, with the prospect of a new dawn and a new year to look forward to...
Here's to love and friendship,

I try to concentrate on the good times and learn from the things that didn't go so well. 2008 was a bit of a strange year for me, but I'm looking forward to 2009 with lots of plans! I'm determined that tomorrow night will be the start of a special and exciting year for all of us. Best wishes for a happy and healthy new your to you and yours x
ReplyDeleteLove this post Niki. I can't believe your new workroom was finished as long ago as May! Where has that time gone?
ReplyDeleteIt's a great idea to go over the year as you and Heather have done. Whether I manage it or not remains to be seen, but it would be quite nice to try!
Have a lovely time tomorrow and here's wishing you and all your blog readers a Happy New Year.

Hi Niki,
ReplyDeletewhat a fantastic post, a great idea. If you get time have a pop over to my blog and see if you recognise the picture there. Looking forward to the craft fayre, I came across a link yesterday. I'm in Cheltenham and go to uni in Bristol so I can manage that journey. Got the date in my diary and booked hubby to babysit for the day already!
Happy New Year Jackie x

ReplyDeleteWow, I loved that look back through your year, thanks for that. Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI was thrilled to open my (your!) book on xmas day, it kept me occupied (ie. sitting on the sofa with my Toblerone) for a long time and I'm looking forward to delving into it again.
