OHHHH.......What a year.........

I am sure we are all aware by now that christmas is fast approaching (I think that only applies to crafters wo are always thinking in advance of the next gifts to make).......just 2 months until the big happy man tries to squeeze down our chimney! Hopefully with a sackfull of goodies!

The realisation that the year is rapidlly passing has made me reflect on this years events. Its been one of the hardest years of my life but what a year and what progress I have made.

I have achieved lots in my personal life which those close to me and my girlies will be fully aware of but on top of that I have achieved the little goals I set myself.

My French language has finally come together and I think I can proudly say now I am fluent which I am so proud to be able to do. It hasn't been easy and its taken 7 years in the learning and its because I have had no choice but to learn it.........One has a choice,,,Sink or swim????? I am happy to say I am swimming away now.......Done!

I wished for a vintage caravan and I now have a lovely 1970's Star......My Vintage Suzie.......sat proudly in the garden..........Done!

I hoped to finally start up a blog of my rabblings, (which this is,,,hope you're not too board) crafting and life from my eyes on the farm as an English partner to a French farmer!!!!!!!! Not easy!!! (Hense why my language has progressed quickly this year!).................Done!

And last but not least to learn to bake!!! I can cook but ask me to make a cake and you will get a burnt biscuit. That was until my lovely friend......you know who you are......showed me some of her secret receipes. We are now all caked out!.......Done!!!!!

DONE, DONE, DONE, DONE!!!!!............AND 2 MONTHS SPARE!! BONUS!!!!!!!!!

 WHAT SHALL I DO NEXT? ..............................................Take some time to enjoy my new life and breath a huge sighhhh of relief I think before we head into 2013!
