Huge long blog post with tons of pictures alert- read only in cases of extreme boredom!
I decided to go back over my last year of blogs and pick out just three highlights from each month to summarise my year.
Some months it was hard to pick just three as there was so much going on, but I tried to be strict! I think it might help to see where I'm going if I can see where I've been.
Plus, it might be nice for any new readers to my blog to get caught up on what sort of things I post about :)
January
1. Had my first photo back (I think) from a shoot in my newly redecorated 1940s style silver bedroom:

December
Well, after a whirlwind rush through a year in the life, here we are getting ready for January again. December isn't over till it's over so I don't want to list three highlights just yet ;) Although visiting both the National Galleries in the same week was definitely one of them. I also represented my latest sponsor, Anathema Designs jewellery, at Collective 159 Christmas Party on Camden High Street last night, which was a lot of fun. You wouldn't believe the amount of free cake and wine I was simply FORCED to consume!
Thanks for joining me on the journey and see you next year ♥
