Happy New Year!

Wow! What a hectic couple of weeks! I always look forward to Christmas and New Year, and even more so this time around as we had Emily Mae's first Christmas ~ she, of course, was spoilt rotten! But I'm always happy when the celebrations are over and I can put my feet up and relax for a couple of days...

And of course, when I stop and relax, I am swamped with ideas for 2011 ~ and the resolutions have come flowing in thick and fast! I have all of the usual things on my list, such as being more health conscious, saving money, not sweating the small stuff, etc... But I'm not holding my breath on achieving all of those! Who can save money when there is so much fun to be had in crafting?!!! So I'm going to make a concerted effort to achieve those but focus my energy on other, more fun resolutions such as my plans for Little Puddles and developing my online craft supplies store, I Love Craft.

2011 holds a lot of change for me ~ I'm returning to work part time in February which I'm very much looking forward to, although I will miss hanging out with my little miss Emily Mae! I'm sure she will have loads of fun though as we have family members clamouring to look after her while I'm at work...We're so lucky to have so much support.

I will still be taking Little Puddles to the markets in 2011, but not as many as last year. 13 markets in just over 3 months was exciting, but a lot of work! However, all products are available at our website (www.littlepuddles.com.au) and I love custom order requests! I will be developing a new product range in the next couple of weeks...am soooooo excited about it and can't wait to share it with you all.

So January will be a month of relaxing with Emily Mae, organising my office after the craziness of Christmas, creating my new product ranges and preparing for my return to work (which basically means shopping for new clothes so I can return as a yummy mummy!). Yay!

I wish you all joy and happiness for 2011 and hope it brings all that you wish for.
