2012 in review

I'd like to set my self loads of goals for 2013 but I need to be realistic (0 achieved...)  So, my main aspiration  this year is to learn to be a better designer and photographer by reading, watching and practicing.  I've also recently read through these, 10 blogging resolutions for 2013 which are a great source of inspiration.  Some other links I've been loving are below.

• Blogging for Newbies
• Blog Promotion Checklist
• Blog Photo Layout Guide
• Brand Audit

So in light of this I made the basic inforgraphic above which meant that I had to learn to use some new tools in Adobe Illustrator.  So that's my stage 1 of learning to use these things properly.  If you're interested, I learnt to do the above using a fantastic Youtube Tutorial, I can certainly recommend it.

2012 revolved around one amazing thing, the birth of our wonderful son Aneurin.  We are nearing his 1st birthday and it serves as a double reminder that the new year is with us and we need to get with it.    Most of December went by in a bit of a blur, what with the filming of Super Scrimpers and making stock for the Pop Up Shop. I'm hoping these two things will lead on to a exciting 2013 full of new opportunities and surprises.  See you there!
