Happy New Year!!
I have good feelings for 2011, I think this year will be an interesting one. At the beginning of 2010, I made a new years resolution to bake cupcakes and sell them once a month for different animal charities of my choice. Unfortunately I failed as I only managed to do 9 of the 12 months. So, this years new years resolution was easy, try again!
I want to be more organised about it this year, I plan to do it on the 3rd Thursday of every month. I want to plan ahead and make a 12 month plan for which charity to donate to, and what flavour cupcakes I want to make, rather than decide as I go.
Here are the charities, in no particular order, I wish to raise money for this year:
My boyfriend and I are going to make an effort to be more healthy, and I have had a good time today finding some interesting new recipes to try on Taste.com.au, a fantastic resource for dinner and dessert ideas!
Of course I would like to craft and blog more this year, but I am not going to loose sleep if life gets in the way a bit ;)
Oh, one last new year resolution, I AM going to start preparing for Christmas much earlier this year, I loved giving handmade gifts, but I am going to give myself much more time so I don't stress too much!!

I'm not good with resolutions lol I never really make them! But good luck to you!
That is such an awesome goal! 9 out of 12 is really good too. I love that you raise money for these places through cupcakes. :) I always get so excited with new resolutions at the start of each year and then bum out on them towards the middle of the year. I'm making small goals that will help with my larger goals which is something I've never done before. I hope to see them through this year. :) Happy New Year!
