Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!
Let's hope and keep optimistic that 2009 will turn out to be a good one, despite the doom and gloom being constantly reported by the media.
I intend to fight to keep my little business going through these turbulent times. I have spent many hours since Christmas researching and looking for inspiration for new ideas to keep my site unique and interesting.
Now all that needs to be done is to get down to the nitty-gritty of actually producing all of my new handmade goods and editing my on-line shop for the re-launch of my website later in the month...
My New Year's resolution is to switch-off my PC after dealing with my emails and not to leave it running all day to distract me from what I should be doing! - Believe me, this will be hard! Hopefully, if I can achieve this, I will be able to work harder, as well use less electricity to benefit the environment.
My thanks to all who left a comment on my blog or sent an email to me during 2008 -
I hope that you will achieve all that you hope to in 2009 and that you will be happy, healthy, with some prosperity thrown in for good measure!
Happiness for 2009 and always,
Niki x
My take on 2009 is that it isn't a year of doom and gloom but a year for learning new wisdoms and skills. Happy New Year to you and I look forward to keep visiting you throughout the year. Margaret

A very happy new year to your Niki. Wishing you success with your business in 2009. I think we all just have to keep positive and stop listening quite so much to what the media have to say as in my opinion they are talking us into even more doom and gloom. I will be with you on turning the computer off. It is a very easy distraction and like you I need to concentrate on getting things done. Hope that 2009 is happy, healthy and very successful. Fiona x
ReplyDeleteI am looking forword to all of your new creations this year. My hope is that I will be successful in buying one of your wonderful dolls!
ReplyDeleteJust dropping in to wish you & yours a wonderful 2009!And good luck in achieving your new goals!

Happy New Year!!! Looking forward to seeing your new look website, I really hope that 2009 sees it prosper despite all the doom and gloom.
ReplyDeleteI know just what you mean about the PC, ours tends to stay on 24 hours and it's too tempting to lose all your free time here!

Happy New Year to you and yours. I am so looking forward to your new website. I have just sat down and 'done' the accounts and it will be Feb before I buy your book. I have just sold my daughter my car and bought another one only I am getting the money for mine monthly for 16 months!! hence the hole in the finances! This means I will have to make do with the calendar which is looking good on the wall
ReplyDeleteHi Niki, these postcards are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAs for the computer thing, I would like to try to join you, too. This could help me having more things done...
I wish you success with the new website, and joy and peace for 2009.

ReplyDeleteI love the cards you have posted today :)
And that heart comment above WOW! Somebody loves you to do that :)
Happy New Year Niki. I am sure your business will continue to be the great success it has been so far due to your hard work and wonderful flair. I too am going to try and switch off the computer more, very hard for a website owner to do isn't it? I did it for 3 days over Christmas and it was so liberating!
