hello 2012...

farewell 2011, hello 2012!

For me 2011 was one of the most happy and eventful years...of course there were downs as well as the ups, but overall 2011 was very, very good to me and my family..

The biggie was of course getting married. We had the most special day, a memory to be treasured always . As we were married abroad, it would not have been half as special without our families and dearest, closest friends there to share it with us, for that I'll always be grateful to them, for making it so very special.

As life goes, people come and go from your life, people who you think of as acquaintances one time, become good friends, likewise good friends can do things and behave in ways which leave you simply stunned.

But I'm a firm believer in karma and positivity, at times it is tried and tested, but would we appreciate the ups if we did not have those downs??

I like my blog to be a 'happy' place, so I choose to blog about nice, creative and happy stuff, these are some memorable pictoral moments from my world during the past 12 months....

January

Colder than cold start to the year...



February


Still troughing the last of the Christmas chocs...



March


Cyprus in the snow...snowballs in the mountains and plodging at the beach in the same day



April


Cherry blossom galore in the garden...



May


A visit from a friend and a road trip around the sights of the North East...



June


Best day of my life....I made most of the wedding related items and this Tiffany themed cushion I made whilst in Cyprus for Lovely Mum to give to her on the day...



July


A washout weather wise, but the garden and flowers thrived...



August


Making the most of the late summer and soon to be shortened days...tea and cake outdoors when rain stoppage permitted...



September


Evenings spent watching the sunset at Potima Bay...my favourite place...



October


A group holiday to Majorca...fun, busy and memorable days...



November


Long winter nights warmed up by the fire in the village pub...



December


Christmas spent relaxing under the glow of our huge tree with a good read and something sweet...bliss...



a very Happy New Year to all of you who pop by, thank you for your comments and visits, I hope that 2012 is everything you want it to be...and more!
