Over 2014 I created so many things from College briefs to personal bits and bobs that I loved creating. I felt like reminiscing about some of the designs I created, especially since I never got round to sharing all my final College projects!

Today's post is just a bit of a fun take on a year in review but I want to put together everything that I have loved, enjoyed or want to do again from 2014!
At the beginning and middle of the month I seen a lot of people posting about their personal word for the year or the month. I've been thinking about doing one of these posts for a while now but have never really gotten round to actually writing it up! So here it my word for 2013 *drum roll!!!....*
I actually decided on the word 'create' pretty quickly as a lot of my goals and hopes for this year all slightly revolve around the idea of creating and arty stuff...
I've already written about this in more detail and such but I hope to be more creative and crafty this year. So this one completely makes sense with the word.
Another reason is because I want to create my own online shop properly. I know this was featured in my 2014 Hopes and Resolutions post, but it is something I really want to do. I know I probably won't end up with a lot in my shop but I hope I can add a few more pieces to it, especially during the summer holidays.
This year I want to also create better relationships with people. To be honest, I fell out of touch with a lot of people last year and so I want to kind of 'mend' them. I also want to create better relationships with friends that I have recently had more contact with since school.
Let me know if you have a specific word that you're going to try to live by in 2014.
In my New Year Resolutions Hopes & Dreams post I mentioned that I wanted to read through 'my to-read pile' that has formed quite a bit over the last year or so. To kind of help and push myself to actually read it I've decided that I would share the collections of books that I have got to read this year.
ohmygod! I can't believe it's already January 2014! This past year has flown by so quickly. And over the past year I've had a very good year. With setting up my Folksy shop and selling two of them within the last month, turning 18, passing my theory test and Darren and I celebrating our 3rd anniversary together it certainly has been crazy!
I'm hoping within the next month and throughout 2014 I will continue to develop my Folksy shop and hopefully manage to set up an Etsy one as well. I'm generally thinking that I would make prints, notebooks, buttons, greetings cards and post cards. I also may try making some magnets or mirrors if I'm able to get supplies to go with my button maker, however I could always just use a company like Awesome Merchandise to make them. In the mean time, I'd really love it if you could give me any other ideas of stuff I could create. I'm really hoping this year to be a bit more creative in my work and would love to try some new things!
As well as being creative in my work and such, I want to do more creative projects for myself. Ones like little D.I.Y's that I can share on here.
I realise this post is basically just extending on my hopes and resolution post but to be honest, this is really all that's going to be going on this month. Apart from the obvious college related posts and such!
Happy New Year everybody!
I know nobody from my own time zone will read this the minute it has been posted as everybody will be busy celebrating! But I just wanted to wish everybody a happy and safe new year.
I hope to have some new and exciting plans and ideas throughout 2014 so keep a look back for that. And as ever link below about your 2014 posts, I'd love to read them!!
Every year like many others I make several resolutions that I never end up keeping. But this year I've got some hopes that are basically resolutions that may end up not happening because of things that just generally happen in life.


What are your hopes and resolutions for 2014? Let me know below or link me to your posts if you have written one as well!
