2012

Happy Belated New Year!

I’ve written down a list of things I want to accomplish in 2012, New Year’s resolutions, I suppose (except whenever I use that term I never stick to them!)

  • Cook and Bake more often
    I can cook, I can bake—often I’m just too lazy too (especially with the former). I’d like to change that and I have been (I’ve also been eating healthier). :)

  • Wear more skirts and dresses
    This one is my friend Ali’s influence, she’s always getting me to try on new things when we go out shopping that I wouldn’t normally look at or choose for myself. I own a bunch of skirts and dresses and hope to wear them more often—I started to last year—lets see if it continues. :P

  • Save money!
    I used to be really good at saving money, I’ve lost that and would like to get back to it.

  • Go to more conventions
    I love going to conventions, I love the atmosphere, I love the buzz and I love meeting up with the friends I’ve made. My plan is to go to more of these—they help with my confidence.

  • Travel
    I’ve not been on holiday since my second trip to Sweden—which was in 2008! My plans for the year so far are Germany (to a convention) in June and to visit my Auntie Val in America in September.

I’ll add to this if/when I think of more things I want to achieve in 2012.

Christmas Cards

I usually do Christmas card exchanges with people on-line, but this year I’ve been too busy/I forgot! So, apologises for that but I am wondering what do you do with your Christmas after the holiday season is over? Bin them, recycle them?

Personally my family and I make tags for presents out of them, using ‘pinking scissors/shears’ (the ones with the zig-zag edges to them. They look really good and are a good way to re-use the cards.

We’ve not started doing it yet, but defiantly will be—we have been now to recycle the pretty pictures from our small wall calendar in the same way.

What do you do with yours?
