2012 is here, and the annual post of a Year in Cards I am making. Although a lot later, than some of the others that have gone around the blog.
This is a card heavy post.
Confession time... I hid this from all of you.
The year gone has been of many lows. My mums health, and after a very short run I had no choice but to end my marriage. I tried to make it work, but it takes two to tango as they say. I was not being treated right or being respected. I gave him space and time to change, but he carried on. He did not show to me, even by 1% that he was changing or had any intention to change. I am going through such a difficult time personally, with divorce and being at work full time then coming home and taking care of my mum. That is all I wish to say on the topic.
2011, also the year where I broke the bone in my foot. And so i had to find something to do that I could do in Bed to pass all that time. I started to work from home. Which was very difficult.
So for my year in cards, there are times when there is not much to choose from, and times where there is so much to choose from.
JANUARY
FEBRUARY
MARCH
APRIL
MAY
JUNE
JULY
AUGUST
SEPTEMBER
OCTOBER
NOVEMBER
DECEMBER
There are also cards that are my favourites for November and December, which I chose not to post because I have not shared them on my blog previously. However Decembers card, I dont believe I have shared yet. It is a card I made using the At Christmas Time papers and postage stamp set.
Enjoy!

I'm so sorry to hear your year has been tough. We had one of those years too. My mother was also very sick (thankfully she got the all clear in Dec!) and I lost my job. So I really feel for you and hope life starts getting better soon. x

Sarpreet,
So sorry to hear that you too were included in the woeful year of 2011. There has not been many people who have not been without some kind of difficulty in this past year, however it seems that some people, like you, have had far more than their fair share of difficulty. I am so sorry that you have had to endure so much difficulty this year... I am hoping and praying that this year 2012, will be better for all of us. You are a strong person and I know you will rise above all of it.
Your year of cards in review are lovely.
Hug,
Sally
fantastic selection of cards sarpreet.all so stunning.
i hope that this year will be a happier one for you.

Hello Sarpreet, sorry to read that you've had a bad year too, and I hope 2012 will prove to be a better year all round. Twenty-two years ago I went through a painful divorce and at the time I found this mantra very helpful:
This too will pass. I still repeat it to myself when the going gets tough and find it does help. Like your card selection - you've made so many fab ones and they are something positive to take out of 2011. Wishing you all the best. Elizabeth x
Just finished reading the comment you left on my blog and thought I'd pop on over.It's sad to hear you've had a tough year but keep your chin up girl,it may not seem that way just now but everything will be ok.

Happy New Year Sarpreet. Well done for finding the courage to end things if you were unhappy, and here's to a fresh start xx
