So this is Christmas ...

So this is Christmas


And what have I done?


Another year over


And a new almost begun


And so this is Christmas


I have had some fun


The easy and the tricky ones


Some goals still left undone

A very merry Christmas


And a happy New Year


Let's hope it's a good one


Without any fears

And so this is Christmas


It's time to complete

Some more off my 1001


The list is still long


Well, it's been almost 4 months since my last post.  Not too much to tick off though unfortunately!  SLACK!  

89. Thanks to my new job I have learnt lots of new and weird words that I didn't know which has helped to bump up my vocab list … approx. 10 to go I think (lost count somewhere along the line!)

In the past 4 months I have managed to knock a few goals off though:

7. Digi scrap every day for a month - I missed a few days but made them up in the month after.  I got all of my 2012 photos into the photo book, just a little journaling to go - hopefully ail get this down over the break and my 2013 book almost complete also before I head back to work in January.  Will be so nice to be up to date again!

19. I haven't counted each of my random acts of kindness but I try to make sure that I do perform one whenever I can - so it must have been once a month.  I know I completed one today so … that's my year done :)

39. We had a Halloween Party for Q and his friends back in October.  Too cute. They loved dressing up.  Was super simple but a nice afternoon.

53. Postcrossing is great. I have received close to 30 postcards since I started mailing … and will keep going as it is so interesting to find out about other parts of the world.

96. Well, we built a snowman (a fairly feeble attempt) but it was a snowman - hopefully next winter it will be a much cooler one! 

So still lots to go … one more husband date, 7 more books, lots of exercise and a variety of other things still to go in 2014!  Here's to another 344 till my 1001 is complete and I can start to kick butt on another list!

2. Read 20 books that are not for uni - this will be a welcome change to a text book! {13/20 @ June 13}

5. Go on 12 dates with my hubby {11/12 @ November 13}

7. Digi scrap daily for one month (might catch me up to date!) {November 2013}
