Sj's - Little Musings: December 2010

Thank you for your comments on my last post - you say some beautiful things and some of them leave me speechless. Having a blog is such a strange thing isn't it? You can go two ways - keep it all professional and keep feelings out, or go all in and throw in emotion into the mix, and when you do that, you open yourself to let the world look into your life... I did the later, and I will always be grateful that my visitors have always been lovely and said nice things - even the million spam comments I get offer me cheap meds - everyones a winner! lol :)

Anyway - I reflected upon my New years entry and I decided that some of it was a little "down hearted" and that is exactly what I wanted to change for 2011 - ironic. SO - I decided to go through my blog and choose at least one thing for each month that made me smile - and ended up with lots!

Wanna see?

Well, you're gonna (unless you outclick now, in which case - muwah Happy new years!!)

Little musings started - this was my first "person" download (she had 2k downloads in the end!!)

April saw Finlay get excited about Easter for the first time.

Especially when the Easter Bunny left him a basket of goodies!

I did three layouts that I loved this month:

Ben's rocket garden arrived - and he carefully planted all he could round the garden, till we had a little allotment going on (shame it was shared!)

OCTOBER:

I loved October - even thought we had to move back from the garden flat to our flat that hadn't sold - I still loved October - it feels like such a homely month :)

Pumpkins and squash season too :)
