I can’t quite believe that this blog is two years old!  I started the blog as part of my new year’s resolution in 2011 – I decided I was going to teach myself/ resurrect some old skills and become more creative so that I didn’t spend every hour in the day working.  As resolutions go, it was one I actually managed to keep.  There’s been odd times (end of term/ exam season) where it’s all gone to pot and I’ve ended up doing more work at home than I’d like, but on the whole I’ve led a much more creative, and as a result, relaxed life.  I did think that when Baby B came along it might all go to pot again, but I’m pleased that I’ve managed to stay creative, albeit in much smaller chunks, generally when it’s nap time!

Thank-you to everyone who has visited, read posts, clicked on a link or left a comment over the past two years; I read each and every one.  There’s some lovely people out there in the world of blogging!

In celebration of a birthday I thought I’d publish the top five posts in each of the main categories I publish in and one in each which I thought was slightly neglected.
