I’ve had a productive week! I made good progress on my redesign, and I’m going to work with an illustrator for a couple of elements on the new site. It’s also been a nice time to reflect on all that has happened in 2011. I’ll have a couple of recaps for you when I’m back next week, but first, some fun links to take you through the new year!

- Two sparkly backdrop options: One that takes lots of work (gorgeous!) and one that takes no work (fun!).
- Cute origami wallpaper.
- Are you using Pinterest to its full effect for your blog? (p.s. You can follow me on Pinterest right here.)
- Hey, look! A new island. Our planet is fascinating.
- The fat trap. Why losing weight and keeping it off is really hard.
- A completely adorable home, awwww.

Happy New Year Nicole! Can’t wait to see your redesign! That fat trap article is scary! After losing 40kg this year I don’t want to see it back on! :)
I just received my new House Beautiful mag in the mail and I scanned a paint chip in a glidden ad and up comes you, one of my most face bloggers.
I really like the Eat Cake bag, but I’m afraid of carrying that as a non-stick-skinny person haha
I just stumbled upon your blog. Am really looking forward to the upgrade. Your kids pictures at Christmas were adorable. As a grandma, I love little kids. Just makes want to spoil.
Love the bling backdrops! Perfect for the decor8 #discomania project!
