New Year, New Resolutions

So 2010 has arrived.... and so far I have not blogged! I have been rubbish at updating this blog but hopefully a new year will mean a fresh start. And to try and spur myself on I am posting a list of new year resolutions on this blog. They aren't the usual resolutions - some are more like little challenges or things to do during the coming year. So here we go...

• to have a stall at a craft fair (or several!)
• to send regular snail mail to my besties
• to save money for some special trips in the next few years
• to have candyfloss pink hair for a week and take pretty photos
• make a list of 100 films I want to watch and then watch all of them (I will be posting my list of 100 movies tomorrow)
• take one instant photo every day for a year
• bake something every week
• make an A-Z scrapbook and update it throughout the year (more to come on this)
• write monthly 'to do' lists (these will start in February)
• blog at least once a week

These are all easily doable, and are all things I really want to do, so I hope I will be able to stick to this list.... But we shall see. Tomorrow I am going ice skating with my sister on an outdoor rink. We are going to have Starbucks, eat chocolate crepes, and visit the National History Museum. So excited.
