It's TIME ....

New Years' Eve!!)

And now it's time to

drop by one of our

favorite stores!

There are lots of goodies ...

whom ...

This little monster

came by for a visit.

Isn't he

FIERCE!?!

He

and his

precious cargo

(YEP ... the

$25 gift card

Is off to see if he

can gobble up some of

Oma's Oliebollen

at Sew Pretty.

See where he's headed

and tell

Annelies "hi"

(Please send me your address

so he can mapquest

his route!)

THANK YOU

friends and angels

joy and singing

and harmony with

friends and loved ones.

Pink Saturday - Traditions & Giveaway

CHRISTMAS GIFTS

Traditions

from the heart

and

sometimes with

a pink twist!

Giving gifts ...

This year I participated in my

FIRST EVER

blog swap.

"Shabby Pink Christmas Swap"

was hosted by

My So Called Junky Life

here.

April of Frilyy Frolic

was my partner.

(April's blog here)

We exchanged ornaments.

I included her little

angel

on one.

Isn't she a doll?

And I received so much more

than the Santa, Nutcracker and

beautiful gift tags.

The seeds were planted for a new friendship.

Another special friend

(who I talk about ALL the time!!)

Laurie

Laurie's Charming Designs

here

Sent me this

fabulous tag/bookmark

And look at the envelope!

She knows I love pointsettia pictures.

How thoughtful!

And so many new friends ...

just because I stepped out a little.

and started a blog.

My gift to you?

Permission to

try something new ...

I tried something new

and created

my first

altered journal.

A Possibilities Journal

that I gave to a friend.

****

HOLD ON!!

There is another present ...

A GIVEAWAY

celebrating

CHRISTMAS

100 posts

My Birthday

WoW!

That's a lot to celebrate!

So ....

Just a way to say thank you
