What's On My Plate for 2012?


2012 ~ a new year and new ideas.  So what is on my plate for this year?




I have had so much fun blogging over the past couple of years.  It's hard to believe
that I will have been blogging for a full two years on January 21st.  Wow ~ the
time has really flown by.

I want to continue to grow as a blogger.  I want to have fun and to entertain you.
I want to focus on more easy to create and inexpensive decorating ideas.  But, this 
blog will always have a light heart.  

I also have another blog ~ Susan's Path.  This is my on-line journal.  It's a place
where I can discuss topics that I feel passionate about.  Sometime the topics will
be light and fun, but at other times they will be more serious.  So, if you want to
get into my head a bit and to share your own comments ~ that's the place to go.
My first topic of discussion is Adult Bullies.  The live on the adult playground
and are a force to be faced.  I'll be posting later today on that topic.

Black and White Nostalgia  is a blog I started a while ago.  I created this blog because
I long to take more artsy pics and I thought that this would push me in that
direction.   I have not done too much with this recently, but plan to spend more
time there in 2012.  Finally ~ there is Ash Tree Cottage Minis because I just
love miniature dollhouses.

And ...



I finally have a new camera.  The entire time I have been blogging I have been
taking pics with an old cast off camera from my hubby.  It has a whopping 2.1 mega pixs.
I have jumped up to a new Fuji (thank you David) and it has a zoom lens too.
Now I will be able (at least that's the plan) to take better pics and something more
than vignettes because that's about all I could do before.

I have loved every minute I have spent sharing bits of my cottage with you and
getting to know all of you.  I am looking forward to a fun filled year here
at Ash Tree Cottage with my buddy Bentley.  I hope that we will bring some
sunshine to you throughout 2012!

Let's visit Marty for this year's first


Bentley ~ let's make this the best year yet!

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
