You may notice a small change in my blog theme. Christmas is now over so it’s time for a new theme. Sticking with something simple for now. And using the Pantone colour for 2011 – Honeysuckle.
(Did you know you can download the Pantone colour palette for the year here.)
Do you know I have never done a year in review post (well not that I can remember anyways) but thanks to the Log Your Memory 2010 logbook I can go back through the year and summarise what happened.
Most of January was spent getting the house ready for bub’s arrival and setting up the office. Grandma turned 94, Dad turned 60 and I turned 32.
February saw the arrival of Miss K on the 16th. Spent 4 days in hospital. Johnathan’s 1st birthday. March came and with it Gran’s 90th birthday. Enjoying motherhood and amazed at this little person. James turned 40 in April and Miss K had her first Easter (no eggs but a giant bunny). Also had her first round of immunisations. April also saw Miss K attend her first Hawks function, her first Anzac Day dawn service and spend her first day away from us when we went to the footy. May and my first Mother’s Day. Miss K gave me a gorgeous silver locket. Mum & Dad headed off overseas for their trip to Singapore, England, Scotland, Crete and then Canada (all in 6 weeks). Got back into art journaling thanks to the Scrapbook Graphics Art Journal Caravan. Miss K has started to sit up supported. Friends gave birth to a baby boy, Austin.
And that brings us to June. Bought myself some Copics through the Lime Tart Copic club – a new obsession is born. Miss K attended her first AFL game. Stayed awake for most of the game. Took a weekender to Hobart to visit my little bro. Mum & Dad came home. Mum celebrated her 60th birthday. July and Miss K is now rolling around. We went to Hawks mid-winter event while Miss K stayed with Mum & Dad. Made the CT for Princess Lala designs. August was Uncle Homer’s 70th and Miss K starting solids. We bought a new bed (woohoo queen size instead of double LOL), bedside tables, tall boy, mattress and room screen. The Federal Election ended up coming down to the line but the ALP won thanks to the Greens & Independents. Miss K’s first word was dada. September was Father’s Day and James got new slippers. Started building a run for the cat’s, it’s gonna b huge! Then we had our kitchen reno but that’s another story for another day. The AFL Grand Final was between Collingwood & St Kilda. It was a draw (so come back next weekend lol – Collingwood won). Into October and we got new laptops. Miss K cut her first tooth, went to the Launceston Show and had her first major ouchie. Finally got around to watching Avatar. My little bro went to Egypt to do some diving. November came and saw Miss K crawling round everywhere. FIL had his second knee op (to fix the one from before – another long story). The Australian dollar reached parity with the US dollar, briefly at about midnight for about 1 minute. We celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary (by doing nothing). We got a new washing machine. Went to Scotsdale show. Had a visit from my godparents. Finally December saw lots of shopping for Christmas, getting our kitchen done, Miss K celebrating 10 months (!!), finally joining the Journal Your Christmas class, Miss K having her first Santa photo and getting her fourth tooth, all of us getting a summer head cold, celebrating Christmas, watching the Dr Who Christmas special on Boxing Day, getting new bunnies and finally spending a quiet nite at home for New Year’s.
Wow what a year! I hope 2011 is an awesome year. I’ll be back later with my word for 2011.
