One year of loving and being loved back, meeting new friends, pretty drives, new creations, thrift store sales, decorating success and decorating flops, estate sale hunting, some terrific scores, lots of laughter and some tears too. I'm looking forward to what 2009 has in store for me!
Go visit Cindy at a Romantic Home for A Year in Review! I've enjoyed her beautiful blog all year and look forward to seeing more from her in 2009. I'd like to wish all of my blog friends a Happy New Year. You've inspired me, consoled me, welcomed me and motivated me! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
we had a pretty great year, huh? blessed more than we could ask for! love you!!!

Lovely mosaic! My eye focused on the pretty summer annuals all potted up and looking so pretty. Boy I could use some of that summer air right now. The wind is howling and it's about 28 degrees outside.
Happy New Year.

Love your mosaic, filled with young women. You must be that 47 year looking woman in the bottom right corner, right? ;-)
I think that 2008 has turned out pretty fine after your surgery and problems with your ex and all is well that ends well, at least I think so.
Thanks for your blogfriendship in 2008 it was highly appreciated, we will make 2009 even more better!
I hope that 2008 ends happy for your family and that 2009 starts wonderful. Have a healthy and happy New Year! Live your dreams!
