I can barely believe another year is upon us , i dont know where 2009 and went, and i have to say i felt last year was very much a testing time for me. I had lots of family issues, which have been very hard, and some are infact still ongoing. However on the positive side i have met so many lovely friends in the last year, and i have my blogging to thank for that.
November and December was very much a haze for me, and i didn't craft or blog , it took all my energy just to get through the days. I love christmas, but this year was a bit of a lost hope for me. I didn't get my cards out on time, i was late with my christmas shopping and decorations and basically i felt i just wasn't prepared.
I have promised myself that this year im going to get myself organized, i am also determined to make several changes in my life. I am going to be more positive and i hope that within a week or two i will be back on top of my crafting and blogging.
I trust you all have a wonderful christmas and new year, and i hope santa brought you all a heap of new crafting stash to play with.
My highlight this year was a visit to a nearby garden centre, where they had no other than santas reindeer lodging!!!!!!
Well my lovelies, i hope you have a good week and that you are not being too bothered by the snow! we are expecting some more later this evening.

P.S. no crafty goodies in my christmas stocking (well sack) this year, but did get some in the sales ;0) Hubby and the girls did buy me a new printer, which is still in the box as I fixed my old one lol! At least I now have one on standby!
Hello Linda, I love the distressing on your card and I love the flowers.

Beautiful card as always! Love the reindeer pictures too:) They are such cute animals. SNOW-All I can say is:"Is it Spring yet?" Today we are having yet another Winter Snow Storm & 40 mile/hr. winds causing a bunch of drifting of the highways. Guess I'm stranded for a few days-Crafting time here I come! Here's hoping that 2010 will be a good one for us all!
~Love & Hugs~
