Every good tradesman needs good tools. Every good blogger needs good tools too. This blog has been on the go for a year now. I have gone from 3 followers last January (my daughters) to 125 now. I have so far managed not to add my facebook friends has my followers, although i often send posts to my home page on facebook.
This year i have learnt what works and what doesn’t. What tools i really needed but didn’t have and which ones i had to do without. As i am sitting up a tree this year and certainly intend to climb out on a limb at times i figured i had to pack succinctly (look, a big word 
– it means concise, pressed into a small area). So here i am sat up my tree, holding onto my pack, would you like to know what is in it?
It is this -
A new desk
A laptop – a bought a new last year
Book of Days – this i use as a blog planner
Books of awe and wonder, still to be read
A kindle – more books
Church teachers manual
Scriptures
Journal (green) so i can continue my sacred record
A notebook
Funky coloured pens
A camera
If you had a to pack a bag for your year ahead, what would be in it?
i have to say I LOVE YOUR MARKERS

First off, I agree with Cat Forsley – funky markers are SO COOL! Let’s see, what would I pack…phone numbers and email addresses so I can stay in touch with friends, a computer (email isn’t much good without one, for one thing), my itty bitty palm-size dumb camera and a spare battery and charger, sticky notes in lots of colors
, books (and if I had to pack light or compact, they would be on my kindle), knitting needles and yarn, some pots and pans and a stove…I’m not very good at cutting things out. If I don’t make myself stop, this is going to be a very long list!
i did say succinct
I’m really really bad at succinct
maybe it’s back to the decluttering and clearing then you would have less to stuff in your pack

Yeah – sounds right.
Congrats on blogging for a year! I just reached my one year anniversary too
Thank you. Congratulations too
