​Instagram has swapped the trend of sharing your top 9 posts which achieved the most engagement, for something on stories called Instagram Playback. I say, there's still value in choosing YOUR OWN top moments from the previous year, taking a little time to think about what made you contented, joyful, appreciative, or those experiences you've learned from.

2021 has had a fair bit of stress in it, but I've been fortunate in being able to find or create rainbows in those clouds.

These pictures for me represent learning new hands on skills and crafting just because I can, allowing myself to take time off and do the spur of the moment fun thing, learning new skills to try and expand my business, being trusted (and trusting myself) to take on complex or highly personal commissions, embracing what gives me joy and not fearing it being seen as silly,  valuing time with family, spending precious time with my husband, taking risks rather than overcalculating and doing myself down.

(I've previously picked and illustrated my own, personal top 9 have a look at that blog post here)

What would be one of your own top nine moments from 2021?
