    A beautiful record of your year! May this one be full of inspiration for you too :) I love the style of photography you have used in November’s images. Were they altered or taken with a polaroid?

    Hi J, just came by to see your latest, and am smiling big time, after seeing 2 photos of things I’ve sent you in the post :) Thanks for including them in your round up of 2011. You have made me want to compile one too. Though im kinda thinking my year wasn’t as interesting as yours. Look at how small the tigers were!
    Love & good wishes for 2012 sweetie
