Hello and happy new year to you!
Did you make a New Years resolution?
Well I never used to bother, why set yourself to do something you can't keep up eh? So last year I decided to do it differently, I decided my resolution was just to TRY and keep TRYING in all things. It turned out to be a good decision in some areas of my life, my weight for instance, I decided that even though I didn't truly believe I had what it takes to make the right changes and stick to them, I was still gonna try!
And I went from this....
To this, today, right now...
I'll maybe brush my hair and get a nice piccy ready to show you tomorrow, I'll tell you more about tomorrow in a minute.
The thing I didn't manage to keep doing well last year was blogging, you may have noticed....so this year I'm gonna TRY to do better with that too!
I've thought about what I would like to change about my blogging, and decided to introduce a couple more regular features in addition to Finish it Friday, they won't feature every single week, maybe fortnightly, but as many weeks as I can manage.
And the odd comment candy would be in order too, I've got a giveaway in mind for January, I'll tell you what it is in the week, ok?
So what's these new regular features? Here they are....
Groovi Tuesday, I will aim to blog a Groovi project on as many Tuesdays as I can.
Workshop Wednesday, I'll post a project featured in one of my workshops.
Finish it Friday, this is where I create a project using oddments, offcuts or half finished abandoned bits.
And finally, Soul Food Sunday, this is where I will show you some of the tasty food I've eaten on Slimming World over the past year, share the odd tip here and there, maybe you'll feel inspired, who knows! I'll tell you more about it tomorrow if you pop back for the first instalment.
Ok, so thanks for popping in,come back soon, I appreciate it!
Sounds good Maria x

ReplyDeleteAnd your groovi ideas are so inspirational.
I am now hooked after chatting to you at the NEC and having a go and posted my first effort with the groovi plates on FB the other day.
It is so relaxing I lost track of the time.
