Its been a while...

It really has been a long time since I have sat down with my coffee and laptop, and documented little pieces of magic that I have found in my day- and I have missed it! Bad reception in Zimbabwe and then a "Victoria-Falls-induced-laziness" kept me away from "Coffee Rings" for exactly a month today- BUT- I am now back with a vengeance, fresh mind and with clear eyes- and looking forward to a wonderful 2011 ahead!

Some images to illustrate my New Years ideas

1.Keep my little flat looking beautiful and collect all sorts of trinkets and furniture ( that I have personally had a hand in restoring) to remind me of this time of my life...
2.Wrap presents more beautifully, write cards and make sure people get them on the day of the special occasion.

One day I’ll  travel the world.

3.Travel again... every year this makes the list...
4. Draw more- this whole holiday I have been itching to draw things, I think I'm going to make my sketches become more a part of Coffee Ring's posts...

feel like i don’t talk to anyone anymore

5. Spend more weekends away with friends and family at little self-catering houses close to our coastlines..
6. Become healthy and fit ( another New Years favourite)
7.Blog (almost) everyday
8.Learn a language ( French / Italian, its a toss up)
9.Keep snapping with my camera and work very very hard at being very very happy, which is a task that is imperative on this list!
10. the bottom image is something I will try to do...
