Happy New Year Wishes & a Winner!

Happy New Year’s Day, dear friends!

My goodness…2012…sounds like a very good year to me!

We had a calm—but very lovely—ringing in of the New Year…just my family and mother-in-law together…

another sweet card

…playing games, eating food (too much!), watching that big, glittery ball drop, a little sparkling cider…hugs & kisses all around…nothing fancy—just the way I like it!

Ring out the Old, Ring in the New

And just to sweeten the day a tiny bit, here’s the winner for the Crafty Secrets’ “Creating with Vintage Illustrations” CD…

Anna Christensen from Hove, England is our winner on this very first day of 2012—Congratulations, Anna!  Would you mind sending me your email address?  I’ll get it sent off to you right away!

Thank-you all for entering the giveaway….thinking I may have to do another one very soon!

happy new year

On this lovely first day of the year, I’m sending you wishes for a bright, wonderful, safe & happy New Year.  Hoping it’s a year of renewal, refreshment, fulfillment & creativity…

…a year full of blessings for each of us & a year full of opportunities for each of us to bless the lives of others in every way we can…

Look, Midnight!

…a year to not expect ourselves to be perfect right now, but to be just a little kinder, a little more patient, a little more generous, a little bit better every day...

Happy New Years’ wishes to each and every one of you…thank-you for all you do, share & inspire each and every day all throughout the year!

Julie

    I'll take all those good wishes you want to throw my way.
    I agree...I have given up on being Perfect a long time ago...just hoping to do "something" better each day.
    a little step
    that eventually gets me THERE.
    sounds like you had a lovely NY Eve.
