2011 Achievements
In January 2011 I made a list of 28 things that I would like to accomplish in the coming year - (28 things as I was 28 at the time!). So I thought it would be good for a look back and see how I did.

Have you heard of Nicole's Classes (http://nicolesclasses.blogspot.com)? It would be one way to improve your photography skills, through an online course where your work gets critiqued (although, if you don't have an SLR it's not really appropriate).
My boyfriend also loves giving this book (http://www.amazon.com/BetterPhoto-Basics-Absolute-Beginners-Taking/dp/081740502X/) to beginner photographers as presents. It guides you through all the aspects of taking good photos and is appropriate for point-and-shoots.

I think you've done pretty well, there are some fun things on that list too! I feel I've achieved a lot this year but not really got anywhere if that makes sense?
Happy new year to you, I hope to keep in better touch in 2012! xx

This is great! I'm going through my 2011 resolutions and seeing how I did…not so well! I'm going to try and make more inspiring resolutions for the coming year. Well done on yours!

You did really well! So glad we did our cake courses, that was something I thought I'd always mean to do but never actually do! I don't think I'm going to do New Year's resolutions but I'm going to try a '30 things while I'm 30' list I think :S Happy New Year xxx

You did pretty well on your list Nic! I'd love to see The Nutcracker.. I bet it was great

You did good really… I do not make New Year's resolution for this particular reason as I tend to have the attention span of a goldfish and everything is forgotten by mid-January. I have a few things in mind for 2012 but I will not put them down in writting just in case I fail miserably at achieving any of them

I think you did very well!
January 1st, 2012 at 2:02 pm
Well done. Always focus on the Successes Nic.

I bet you moved in the right direction on all your other goals too!
All the best for 2012, Bobby

Wow you put my resolution list to shame! I accomplished maybe one or two things – this was such a good idea though, I may have to make a new list ASAP!
