Happy New Year

Happy New Year!!

O.k, Time for some resolutions.... again....

but first..... I've got to play a little catch up. I was in a wonderful Christmas ornament swap with HollDoll from my Marie Antoinette group and these are the absolutely stunning

ornaments that she sent me. Look at all of the work that went into them!! I mean seriously, the ball ornament must have 50 handmade fabric roses! wow!!

This snowman is so precious too. I just love here crown of lace and rhinestone buttons. Fabulous!

O.k.... so onto the Resolutions.....

hmmm. Well, there are always the old standbys.... get in shape, eat better, don't procrastinate

etc..... and of course, blog more! LOL O.k, I'm making a commitment. I'm going to blog more. (That's it!) I can't commit to more than "more" but I REALLY am going to try and blog more.

I should be able to do it this time, I've worked out all of the kinks. I've got a laptop now, AND I finally figured out how to put my pictures onto it! yay!! so...... no more excuses! Well.... just life, I guess but hey, I'm going to try. I miss blogging, I miss all of you, I miss all of the creativity in blogland. So... here I go again.

(These are the ornaments that I sent to my partner. We both loved glitter, silver, cream, white and pink. I hope she liked them, it was so much fun making them. )

Wish me luck. I wish you luck in all of your Resolutions too!

More swap catching up to come.

Happy New Years

This morning I was telling my (almost) 16 year old daughter that I wanted to post a New Years blog but, that I wasn't sure what pictures I should use. She suggested that I take a picture of one of our Chandeliers. I guess to her Chandeliers are representative of New Years. All sparkle and shine. That's a pretty cool image to have of New Years.

After I took the picture I started thinking about my little tree out front. I recently was able to purchase some wonderful little cut glass children's cups at one of our amazing swap meets. They had already started turning purple. A friend of mine told me that if I placed them in the sun they would turn more purple. This was my solution. I think it looks amazing. Only one problem, I don't think that they'll get much sun once the tree gets it's leaves back.

Oh, well!! I'll just enjoy the beauty while I can.

I want to wish all of you an amazing New Year filled with beauty, creativity, bliss, and fulfillment.

Happy New Years!!
