Oh my goodness! The end of November 2012, already? I have my birthday in November, so now I have turned 34. Since I am very fond of lists and retrospective round-ups, I’m posting a random list of 34 random things I have done since my last birthday (here I would like to add, in a fit of completely unnecessary honesty, that I typed 24 instead of 34. Three times in a row… Meh).
Since my last birthday I have:
- had a goal to do something creative every day for 365 days
- not done something creative every day for 365 days, but a lot of them none the less, and have had the most creative year in a long, long time
- handmade a lot of gifts for friends and family
- shipped some of my handmade items from my Etsy store all over the world
- attended a gorgeous, fairytale wedding in England whilst suffering from double-sided pneumonia
- visited London Zoo with my darling Jed
- climbed the Giotto bell tower in Florence for the second time in my life
- ended up in the yearly Chianti festival in Greve, by luck and happenstance
- went on a romantic weekend to Copenhagen with my boo
- found a wonderful pen friend, Micu
- gotten many lovely letters in my mailbox
- met my penfriend Micu in real life!
- started making mail art more regularly
- started the project Mail a Smile with my friend Micu! (We still need help! Check out the blog!)
- gotten an Espresso story published over here
- taken some portraits of my friend Cecilia (you can see some of them here)
- participated with 3 photos in Photo Sunday(click here to see)
- participated in the worldwide event Aday.org with these here photos
- took photos at the 1 year anniversary of my friend Vanja’s awesome SwapShop (have a look in their FB album)
- started a small photo blog, but haven’t found a good theme for it yet
- , like the crazy cat lady I am, celebrated my cats 7th birthday
- reread “The hobbit”
- read The Little Prince
- filled two notebooks with miscellaneous ramblings, lists, doodles, plans and projects
- learned how to make crumpets
- played The Secret World
- played Rift
- played Halo 4
- had several crafting crops in my home
- documented a lot of good memories
- made several scrapbook layouts, some of my favourites: this, thisand this
- drunk oodles and oodles of tea and wah-hay too much coffee
- found new friendships
- had a lovely, lovely year with Jed
Now, I would like to extend the list to things that happened just around/after my birthday, many awesome things, but that would be cheating, so I’ll save that for another post.
sounds like a nice year:) wish you an even better one for nextyear:) your are indeed 24, I won’t believe you are 34 until you show me your birth certificate
(btw: you mentioned my name way too many times..)
If you had your birthday in November, that means I missed it. :/ Aw shucks. I’m sorry! Happy belated birthday! Did you get anything nice that you had wished for? :)
How nice to have a pen-pal! :D I love that sort of thing. Used to write long handwritten letters back in the days of my childhood, but now an email means just as much. :)
I hope everything is well with you (seems to be?). I miss you! I wanna get together, but where can one find the time? Do you know? Give my best to Jed. :) Hugs!
