What a year 2011 has been for Photo Fairy Designs! I would like to thank you all for your support, advice and custom, what I have been able to achieve has been amazing and wouldn't have been possible without you all!

 Yesterday I spent some time reflecting on the year that has passed, on the resolutions I had set myself last January and I have been motivated and encouraged by how my 2011 resolutions unfolded. 
As a small business owner and mum to two little boys I'm always busy and 2011 passed in somewhat of a blur! So with this in mind here are my top 12 must have resolutions to give you a kick start in 2012!
 


Top 12 New Years Resolutions for 2012

♥   Take more photographs of all the happy moments in 2012: if it goes as quickly as 2011 you will need lots of photographs to remember it by. Remember we can help you to restore old photographs , enhance photographs with object removal etc, and even add a bit of fantasy or fairy magic to others!

♥   Celebrate your small achievements more often: we are often our hardest critic but make some time in 2012 to give yourself a pat on the back for the things that you have achieved. 

♥   Spend more quality time with people who matter the most to you: most of us would like to spend more time with our family and loved ones, sometimes it can be quite difficult to achieve so start by making sure you all sit around the table together to eat dinner so you can hear about everyone's day.

♥   Take a look around you and think about all the wonderful things / people in your life and be glad of them: we often take the people and things around us that mean so much for granted take a moment to appreciate them all in 2012.  

♥   Don't dwell on the things you can't change, put your energy into the things you can: how much time to be waste worrying about things we did wrong? Learn something positive from the errors you make so you don't make the same mistake twice and then move on.

♥   Learn something new: No matter what it is learning something new can give you a great confidence boost!

♥   Listen more: We are often surrounded by noise, whether it is the tv, music, children, it is easy to just class it all as background noise and miss out on the important things. This year why not cut down on the distractions and take some extra time listening to our children, and people around us

♥   Pay it Forward: Every good deed deserves another, even the little things count! Whether it is simply courteous behaviour of someone holding a door open, or something more heroic make sure you repay the good deed to someone else.  

♥   Believe in yourself: If you don't believe in yourself you can't expect anyone else to! 

♥   Find the time: Try and slow down the pace a little in 2012, find more time for the people and things you really need to give your attention to.

♥   Smile more: Haven't you heard a smile is contagious? Let's try and cause an epidemic in 2012!

♥   Make a list: Take some time in January to think about what you really want to achieve in 2012, set yourself a goal every month to help you achieve those things and go for it! 


I'd love to hear your New Years Resolutions and how well you stuck to the ones you made in 2011!
