Time for a new post



Hello everyone! I haven't posted because I just haven't had the time or felt that I had anything worthwhile to say, but I think my blog is lonely!

We had a nice Christmas - did you? Now I feel like I'm playing catchup - paying bills, cleaning, rearranging. For Christmas my husband got me a lot of nice things, but one of the best was a new Keurig Coffee Maker. (Hope I spelled that right!) Anyway - all of us love that thing - it's the only thing keeping me motivated! And my daughter loves it too because I can make hot chocolate with it. Anyway - great present. The holiday was a bit different too, because my kids seem older to me, and lately I have just been so appreciative of them. They fight a LOT but sometimes they don't and they're just super loving and wonderful. I just feel like I need to document somewhere in writing for the world to see - how much I love them. They really are the best thing in my life and I can't imagine never having kids. I don't get out much - and so to have two people who tell you they love you daily - it's a good thing. Okay - sorry - don't know where all that came from - usually I try to keep this impersonal - but there it is!

Here's some things I've been making lately - late at night. I'm excited to move on to Valentine-y things and start thinking spring again!

Glad you had a nice Christmas. That does sound like a nice gift. Have to mention that to my hubby. :) My favorite gift from him was practical but I know I'll love it once it's installed - a car starter! I even got jewelry (from the kids). Cute, huh?

I love your Valentine projects. I too love seeing the change in colors after all the green and red. I love the red and pink. That little pillow with the sweet saying is darling.

On this cold and snowy day in Pittsburgh-this is such a beautiful sight for my eyes! Like a shot of sunshine! The Kuerig is a lot of fun-my friend has one. So, it's the caffeine that's giving you energy! Whatever it is-it's working! Sending warm hugs your way! xo

Hi Sweetie! I smile as soon as I click in here, it's always so happy and cheerful. Your kids are adorable and it's soooo nice when our kids tell us how loved we are. My sons are in their early twenties and they still give hugs and say sweet things. It never stops...thank goodness! I want one of those machines, you lucky girl! I love all your sweet creations! xoxo Paulette ;)
