I know Christmas is over but I took this picture of my little angel tealight holder on my mantelpiece with my phone at the beginning of December and although I've used it as a screensaver on my laptop and on my I-pad over the Christmas period I still can't get enough of it. It is so atmospheric and I find it so calming to look at. It also reminds me of my Mum as she gave it to me a few years ago because it doesn't suit the style of her home but I think it fits perfectly in mine.
My poor little brain is still racing with ideas for the new year, one of them of course is to get stuck into this blog, maybe partly to straighen out things in my own head! I'm not sure that the world needs my crazy ramblings but I think I am going to enjoy this journey, and if others want to join me on it that would be an absolute pleasure.
And I figure all the time I'm sitting here pondering and typing I'm not munching on any naughty foods, which is a bonus. However, I might have to indulge my love for a nice cup of coffee whilst blogging if it's to become a regular feature in my life!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all you lovely bloggers out there!
We had a lovely quiet NYE last night, just the two of us, just how I like it. We went to the cinema to watch the new "Sherlock Holmes", then went for a bite to eat and back home around 22.00 for a few quiet drinks for the rest of the evening.
We had a lazy day today as the weather in our neck of the woods was appalling, very wet and grey, yuk. I managed to get in a little teensy bit of crafting in the form of card making just to satisfy the worst of the urge, I need a full blown scrapbooking session really but can't get to my stash as No 2 son is using my craft - oops, I mean his bed-room. I have ordered some prints online though ready for when I get round to scrapping again. Yay!
Now the first day of the new year is almost over, my lovely hubby is running me a lovely bath so off for a soak shortly - I do looove a soak in the bath! I hope all of you out there in blog land have had a great start to 2012 and I wish you all a happy, prosperous, worry-free and enjoyable new year. Much love!x
