Absolute Resolutions are Snow Joke

Well, it's been a while since my last post, and since then we've had christmas and new year, so Happy New Year to you all and I hope you had a good christmas as I did. So what's been ocurrin'? To be honest not an awful lot. In fact it has been quite a relief to have a bit of a wind down at christmas so as to re-charge the batteries.

Since starting back at work the year has got off to an excellent start. LadyBoo Designs has been published in the top trade magazine for greetings cards in the UK, Progressive Greetings Worldwide. One of our designs is featured in their innovations section of the magazine (see image on the right). We are the 'Top of the Tots' Tiger chasing a Butterfly design on the left. I am absolutely chuffed to bits as its the first piece of work we have submitted and its got in, so rambunctious slaps on the back for us, Hoorah!! The design can be purchased from the LadyBoo Designs website http:// www.ladyboo.co.uk
along with many other gorgeous cards if we do say so ourselves.

Also it has snowed, in case any one hadn't noticed, so a little bit of an extended christmas holiday for some us, yipeeee! My cat Missy has been enjoying the snowy weather also, see the image on the left, if you look closely you can see she is actually sticking out her tongue. I don't think she likes having her photo taken. Maybe some treats later will mellow her mood.

So, what else to look forward to in 2010? More publicity for LadyBoo, more sales, and more designs, better and brighter than ever before. More cat pictures(groan...I here you sigh, but I love cats, so tough bananas!).

It's a strange thing that at the start of every new year I always set my goals for the year ahead. Last year I actually managed to achieve most of them, though there wern't that many, but they were quite big ones. Launch LadyBoo Designs, have more confidence and faith in myself (thanks Susan Jeffers and SheRa, Princess of Power, you gave me strength when I needed it most), quit my McJob and work with my fiancee and to write the first draft of my first children's book. All of these I have done, but there is still more to do. This year I would like to continue to build on the foundations of confidence I now have and take my life in every direction from strength to strength, to build LadyBoo Designs into a thriving and profit making business with legendary designs and excellent customer service, to illustrate that first draft of my book and get it published, learn to drive, cook more, meet more people who have a positive influence in my life, hug more, love more and play outside whenever it snows or the sunshines.

I hope that if any of you have set yourselves resolutions or goals to fulfill, that you achieve them, and if you don't, as I'm pretty sure I won't manage to get through all mine, just keep on chipping away at things and do the things that make you happy in the end it'll all come good, and so I wish you all a prosperous and magical 2010.
