I had plans on the posts I would do before Christmas and then of course wish everyone the MERRIEST!!! Unfortunately, I got sick just before Christmas ...and it knocked all of my plans to heck! I did get to finish some of the projects I was working on for Christmas presents, but never got pix of the finished goods. *pout*

I managed to have a lovely Christmas Eve with a few friends and my darling daughter. Again, my addled brain never thought TO GO GET THE CAMERA!!! The rest of this week I have been sleeping and napping a lot and I think I am beginning to feel a little better. There was a nice dusting of snow Christmas Day, so it WAS a White Christmas for folks around these parts. Which is really a rare thing to have just a bit of snow for Christmas Eve and a dusting for Christmas Day. Then it was all gone! Now snow is expected this weekend, but I hope it's not too much. My car has a dead battery and can't be moved, so it will just have to sit snowbound if we get very much. I plan to stay in and watch TV and crochet a little and continue to nap a lot! LOL.

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and is looking forward to a Happy New Year 2013!! I have no plans for New Year's Eve, but that's okay - I have my kitty girls to keep me company!
My dear little Mummy and me a very long time ago. (Maybe in the late 70's or 1980) |
I am looking forward to a wonderfully creative year, and enjoying times with all of my blog and crafting friends. Also looking forward to Erica of Golden Egg Vintage's Valentine Swap!! I have always enjoyed making Valentine gifties and cards and boxes, so this will be lots of fun, too!
One last picture - my dear Nanny and my 1st niece Brenda, this was from way back in the 60's at my Sister Lorraine's house (Brenda's mom). |
So, again ... happiness to all as the new year dawns on us!!!!
Until 2013,
Sorry that you're feeling poorly but other than that it sounds like a pretty ideal holiday - friends, family, a little snow. I can't wait to see what you have in store for 2013. I love all your family photos; thanks for sharing them!
