Hi Goddesses
Welcome to the New Year, and if we are to believe the Mayans, it could be our last, so best go out with a bang, eh?
I decided a few days ago to do a Bucket List for my nail polish year - the things I would like to achieve - and also to list the things I am really looking forward to.
So, first of all, The Predictions / Things I Am Looking Forward To
* 2012 will be The Year of The Flakie, no doubt
* I cannot WAIT for OPI's Holland Collection and all that flecking and shimmering
* for the first time ever, even Essie looks ooooooohey to me
* China Glaze - holy triple whammy. I know a lot of you are freaking out about The Hunger Games, me, my eye is on the Prismatics and the Magnetix
* A England will have a new Collection out
* Glitter Gal have some new beauties on the way
* and finally, those Zoya fairies keep mentioning that H word .... man, if Zoya did holos .... they would be the best EVER
And so to my Bucket List. I pondered whether to keep it private, but I decided to "put it out there" for a few reasons.
1. Cosmic Ordering - I am a big believer that if you tell the Universe what you want, it will find a way to help you
2. by sharing it, it deepens the commitment, and I know some of you will nag me / cheer me on
3. Me? keep it private ? pah! lol
So here it is. By this time next year (or when we die our Mayan death) The Crumpet
* will have at least 1000 blog followers and 500 Facebook Followers
* will have shown a variety of posts, with the emphasis on quality rather than quantity (quantity is soooooo 2011)
* I will have become a Stamping Goddess
* I will be adept enough to do credible tutorials
* I will stick to my recent rule of the 2 day mani - wear it plain for one day if you must, but tart it up on Day 2 or else!
* Pinterest - I am loving Pinterest. I only joined it recently, but I'm finding it a great way to keep inspirational photos and wishlists organised. If you want to, you can also follow me on Pinterest - http://pinterest.com/thecrumpet/
* expand the blog - I want a few more tabs and "stuff"
* make the Facebook page a community. That's not really happening yet, and I'd love that page to have a lot more on it from YOU
I also want to be able to master certain things -
* stamping
* chevrons
* tape manis
* funky french manis
* plaid manis
* water marbling
* needle marbling
* half moon manis
* skittles
* more frankens
* more frankens
* gradient manis
* glitter gradients
* checked nails
And that's my starter for 2012. This will be pinned on my nailboard in the nail room.
Here's to an inspirational year, and a new chandelier !
Enjoy xx :)
