My darling husband was sent into the ditch at the bottom of the garden to gather this gorgeous holly on Christmas eve. He even battled brambles and blackberry bushes to find the pieces with berries on for me. I also added a few extra berries from the hedges to brighten it up a little more.
1) I probably did this for about fifty percent of the year but I am sorry to say I gave up a little in the cold, dark months.
2) I am pleased to say that I did carry on with this one and I am so happy I did. I think I will continue with it next year too.
3) I partially achieved this - I sorted all my photos into monthly folders, I stopped saving hundreds of pictures onto my laptop by joining Pinterest instead and I wrote a weekly to do list in my yearly notebook. However, I still have lots I want to do, especially on the computer.
4) Oh dear, oh dear. My husband has kept on at me about this one all year and I am very ashamed to say that I have yet to even open the pack with the pen in!
5) This is also a source of embarrassment as I have not really made an effort with this one. To be fair I have been on a fairly strict diet for quite a bit of the year which included cutting out most carbs, processed sugar and a significant amount of dairy so it has not always been easy to maintain variety.
How about you, did you stick to your resolutions? I am off to think some more about making this year's ones those I will stick to! Here's hoping the last few remaining days of 2010 are merry and bright for one and all.
I like your fresh flower resolution - there's one I could really get behind.
ReplyDeleteReal live holly??? How beautiful!
ReplyDeleteyou indeed achieved the organization one ;) it sounds like you know how to take the time to at least think on your goals and that's for sure the first step. may your wishes all come true in the new year. :)
ReplyDeleteand what a sweet hubby u have!
I love that James braved the ditch to get you your holly! He's a good man...
ReplyDeleteI can just smell the oranges and cloves in your kitchen- aaah!
And my, what a sweet vintage Christmas card that is. Wherever did you get it? ;~)
xoxo
PS: I'm working on a few resolutions. Will tell you about them soon.
I don't think I made resolutions this year but I will this year! At least you had a go at them so you should be proud of your achievements.
ReplyDeleteI think I will have to join pinterest to save all my pretty pics. It sounds like a good solution to me.
Have a wonderful New Year!
My one resolution for 2010 was to be a 'yes man' or 'woman' in my case. ;) I said 'yes' to all opportunities that presented themselves, like hot Bikram yoga {bleh!}. I also paid off a ton of debt, so 2010 was a very good year for me. 2011 has some big shoes to fill! ;) I love your fresh flowers every week wish. I think I'll add that to my 2011 list.
ReplyDeleteOh, Cassie! What a lovely post, really! I enjoyed reading it. Heehee, poor Hubby was sent to the ditch! But the holly looks lovely, so it was all worth it, eh? ;)
ReplyDeleteI love how practical and doable your resolutions are, congrats on keeping to most of 'em! I didn't exactly make a resolutions list but I did make a list of goals I wanted to achieve! And I was just going through it earlier and I'm just amazed at how much I managed to cross off my list! God has been good.
Cassie, I just want to thank you for all your support and for being such a lovely friend. I look forward to getting to know you even better in this new year! By the way, I'll be in London in January, do you live any where near?
All right, I'm off to have my last dinner in 2010! Hee. Have a fantastic celebration, dearest! <3
The holly looks beautiful you have such an eye for detail. I definitely didn't achieve all my goals last year- especially on the losing weight front but I feel more motivated now!
