Happy New Year 2007

Fireworks, plenty of champagne, a quiet snuggle in bed with your special someone, however you ring in your new year, I hope it will be a great one.
To greet the new year with style -as you might have noticed already- Chez Pim has got a minor face lift. Not a major redesign, mind you, since I rather like the style of my blog. But it's high time that I tidy up a bit around here. The design is tighter now, with a bit smoother navigation and a cute category cloud -I love those clouds. I've also been going back into old posts and replacing links out to Flickr with embedded Pictobrowser so you could get to my slide shows right here on the blog.
There will be a few new features coming. I don't want to tell everything now, as that would just spoil the fun. Suffice to say you might see more images of me around here, moving ones even. And there is a big surprise to be unveiled later in January. I've been at work on that project for a while, and I am so very excited about it. I hope you will love it as much as I do.
2006 has been great fun, though it has not been easy. I feel as though I spent half of it being ill with something or another. Perhaps 2007 -and the sixty thousand bits of good karma we've made together- will bring me better health. I hope that same good karma will bring you joy and happiness.
And, as that old saying goes, may the new year bring you all that you need and most of what you want.
















Happy New Year Pim and thanks for all the work you put into the Menu For Hope! It's a really important initiative!

All the best to you too Pim. Sorry, I couldn't place any features about Menu For Hope. Dunno why, I think it's a great wee story. Nice redesign and I'd never heard of PictoBrowser, it looks great, deffo something I'll be looking at using. And what are these plans and secretive suggestions... Hmmm... I have my suspicions... Have a big '07.

Happy new year. I enjoy your blog, and appreciate your fundraising efforts.
Maybe it's just me, but your newbackground color makes reading your posts almost impossible. Am I the only one?

Lovely flower photo Pim, and I do hope you are getting better. Passing the $60,000 mark is so incredible I can still hardly believe it. All the best to you in 2007.

Une très bonne année pour toi et pour tous!
Graham, yeah keep guessing my boy!
rooney, I'm not sure why you found the page harder to read. It's the same colors actually. But I had a few funky problems when I fixed the template, I cleaned out the cache and cookies and the page load properly. You might want to try that.
cheers,
Pim

Hi... that's the most beautiful rose I've seen since long, so I really felt like commenting :-)... I'm new here and still checking out your site... so far, I think probably I'll be back here more often... I've seen the "Menu for Hope" link you put, and I think it's wonderful too... Happy New Year to you :-)!!!
