Happy New Year, 2017!

Happy New Year, dear friends!

My, how time seems to fly by me lately.  I always look forward to New Year's Day as a wonderful new beginning.  There are many things in our lives that we cannot control on our own, but there are many ways we can always try to stretch and improve ourselves.  I don't always make New Year's Resolutions, as they are too easily forgotten or broken.  This year, I decided to give it a try, once again. 

Here are my New Year's Resolutions, in no particular order:
1.  Take more time to ... create ... read Scriptures ... pray ... rest ... and play.
2.  Keep sending out more cards than ever.  Try new techniques.  Spread the joy!
3.  Use and enjoy my 'stash' and don't hoard it.  Think of new, creative ways to use it.
4.  Exercise more and do my best to BE HEALTHY ... mind, body, and spirit.
5.  Continue to enjoy every moment I can spend with my grandchildren, striving to be a positive influence in their lives.  Of course, I'll still teach them things like "Yepperdoddle" and "Holy Toledobunnies" because it's important I give them a bit of silliness, too.

I think I can keep these 5 Resolutions.  I'll certainly try.

May 2017 be a great year!  
Let's make it the best we possibly can make it!

Again, Happy New Year!

I just had to share this gorgeous baby with you. 

Joey is the best New Year's baby ever!

Happy 2016!

I'd like to wish you all a happy and healthy 2016.  New Year's Day has always been a day of reflecting for me.  I like to think back to all the many blessings and wonderful memories of the previous year.  I also like to think ahead of how I'd like to set my best foot forward for the coming year.  Instead of resolutions, I'd rather make plans to always do my best and to always try to bring joy to others.  This, of course, includes creativity.  Creativity is a part of my very soul.  Blessings to you and yours and may your year be filled with joy. 

2016 is the year of the monkey. 

Here's a great idea that would be fun to try.

Happy New Year!

It's 2015.  I don't know how it got here so fast but, since it's here, let's make the most of it.  Let's make it truly be the best year ever.   

Wishing you a blessed and happy year.  

Work hard.  Help others.  Be kind.  Look for the good in others.  Take time for yourself.  Be happy.  Be blessed. 

I'm back!

I'm back... sort of... and struggling with getting back into the groove again since my knee surgery.  I do have lots to share with you and will get back to posting ASAP.  I've missed you and hope you've missed me!  In the meantime, enjoy this link.
