Merry Christmas

Exactly one year ago I wished Happy Holidays to whoever happened to stumble upon my newly launched blog Inspiration Bit. I would’ve never guessed that one year later my holiday wishes will be read by over five hundred subscribers and hundreds of more occasional visitors to this blog. All I can say is WOW - what an exciting journey it was and what a rewarding experience I had this passed year!

I look forward to another year of blogging challenges and surprises together with all those new friends that I found in the blogiverse, getting to know more people, keep inspiring and getting inspired by all of you. Thank you all for welcoming Inspiration Bit and making it part of your blogging life.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your loved ones. May all your sacred wishes come true and may you never have a day in your life without being inspired by something or someone that will brighten your mood and motivate you to excel in everything you do.

Holiday bit of inspiration

Of course I can’t let you go without some inspiration: I’ve recently discovered these two great sites that offer free Photoshop brushes and Vector graphics. Check them out and get inspired to create amazing designs for your sites and projects.

    Thanks for the wishes, Mirko, Shankar and Johno. Happy New Year to you all!!!

    We’re slowly getting settled in our new house, but those greenish-blue and pinkish-purple walls in our bedrooms are driving me nuts, can’t wait to get my hands on them and repaint ;-)

    Happy After Holidays!!! May the next year bring you ten times more readers and fulfill all your wishes but one (otherwise, what would you aim for in 2009?).
    Wow! Change those colors before you get either depressive or crazy! Or go to bed with the lights off.

    haha, thanks Simonne. Turning lights off won’t help too much, because I’ve also set up a small office in my daughter’s bedroom, and my eyes inadvertently lay on those greenish-blue walls, so we’ll be re-painting these walls in a very near future ;-)
    oh, and I won’t be upset much, if all my wishes come true this year, I can always think of some new wishes for the 2009 ;-)
