2011: The Highlights

I thought I'd let pictures do most of the talking - I've had a fantastic year and am very excited about 2012 and the new challenges and opportunities it's going to bring.

Fascinator making with The Thrifty Stitcher in January, winning these FitFlop mukluks in February (I never win anything!), and adding to my Elvgren collection in March.

A day trip to Le Touquet in April, getting caught up in Kate fever in May, and taking part in my first 30 for 30 Challenge in June

Seeing Prince at the Hop Farm Festival in July, spending a month in the US for our belated honeymoon in August, and visiting Goodwood Revival in September.

Dressing up for Halloween in October, completing my second 30 for 30 Challenge in November and family time at Winchester Christmas market in December.

This year I've also ticked off some personal goals, including going back to college part-time to complete a professional qualification, doing an 855 ft sky jump in Las Vegas and volunteering to help job seekers in Central London (I was pleased to hear recently that a few are now in employment).

However, none of that compares to what my husband has done this year.  Peter, has been writing a song a week in 2011 and is nearly across the finish line.  With only two more songs to go (which will be posted by midnight tonight) he's already surpassed his fundraising target for the year.  I'm so unbelievably proud of him and really want to get him a few more quid in that pot for Parkinsons UK.

Please click on this link to donate.  I would really appreciate it.

You can see/hear all of Peter's songs here.  But if you don't want to trawl through then here's one of my favourites for you to listen to while you donate. ;)



How about you?  Is there anything you're particularly proud of achieving in 2011, or looking forward to doing in 2012?
