New Years Eve

Right, back on track after having accidentally blogged three posts yesterday that weren't supposed to go 'Live' yet - oh bless me! I had them post-dated and forgot that yesterday was the date they were post-dated for! Mmm, might use draft from now on. Thanks to everyone who commented on them, lovely comments.

Anyway it is the eve of the New Year and traditionally one looks back at the old year and forward to the New Year.

Well, 2008 was a strange year full of ups and downs, as life demands, but on crafting terms it has been amazing. Starting the blog was my lovely boyfriend's suggestion and it has been wonderful, I've met so many fantastic crafty friends and had such a fun time blog hopping. I've loved all of the wonderful comments people have spent the time to post on my blog - Thank you all and it has been fantastic to visit your beautiful creations.

Looking forward to 2009, I hope that it is a good year for everyone, may it bring lots of crafty wishes to you all.

So I would like to share some wonderful blog awards that my lovely bloggy friends have shared with me. I've been meaning to put them up before, so I apologies for my lateness. I thought this would be a good post for them and I want you all to have them and don't forget to pop along to all of the blogs that they came from as well :)
