Goodbye 2011. Hello 2012!
Before I start afresh for the new year, I just wanted to say thank you for sharing 2011 with me! Thanks for your continued friendship and your comments on my blog. Also thanks for your support and generosity in my online shop and art making! I’m so blessed!! THANK YOU!
So I thought 2010 was awesome, 2011 was more than awesome!
We celebrated our first wedding anniversary
We went to Europe for our honeymoon…we spent some time with my parents and richard’s family.
I met up with one of my Little Mo customers in Paris! The lovely Nathalie and I ate macarons and sweet parisian treats together.
I became an aunt for the second time to my most adorable nephew. His name is Cameron and his older brother is Tristan
Little Mo and Friends turned 3 and I’m so grateful to all of my customers!
I expanded my Little Mo and Friends collection
I turned 30!! (And had 3 birthday parties, one in Australia and two in Malaysia with my family and friends!)
I opened up two pop-up shops with my friends, it was so fun!
I bought a Diana Mini and crazily enough won a lomography competition and won a new Diana F+ kit!
I had some lovely write ups this year but being in a newspaper was really nice!
I met new friends online and through Instagram (I’m so addicted to this app)
I cooked Spaetzle for the first time on Richard’s 30th birthday
and….I now own a Black Forest Cuckoo Clock!!
So yes, it was a really good year! I think the day after I celebrated my 30th birthday, I told myself I was going to embrace life wholeheartedly, whatever the ups and downs. I will draw and love passionately, I will laugh with my family and friends and I will make more Little Mo goodies! There is also a quote near my desk that says, “Live your life with purpose”…which I will try to remind myself from time to time.
Happy new year everyone, may it be filled with lots of creativity, love and dreams! xoxo
P.S: The thank you cards above is handmade by my friend, Allana. You can get your own vintage fabric cards in her shop.
