Happy New Year Everyone!!

I am actually sad to end this year because I had so many wonderful

things happen in my life.  I was blessed with good health, a great job,

fantastic places to travel and

lots of family to spend the Holidays with!

How much better can it get and I can't 

wait to see what's in store for the next year coming up....  

So to end this year- I want to say Happy New Year to

all of you- and thank you for your wonderful comments

 and a reason for me to share all these fun things everyday :)

I truly love to create things and now that 

I submitted my 2nd Spellbinders project I will 

have time to work on some of the New Valentines

projects that I have planned with my new papers...

Here are just a few pictures from my new camera!

Thanks Santa- you are the Best!

 We have a huge family gathering on Christmas eve

with dinner and gifts for the kids and a white

elephant exchange for the parents.  There were lots

of fun things unwrapped and the kids were all happy

with what they got...

 I bought some new things this year to make for my

dining room.  I made it into a blue and silver-snowy, icy, 

snowman room for the holidays.  

I really liked the way this candleholder

came out and I hung snowy sticks and snowflakes from

the chandelier that looks really neat when the lights

are dim and the tree lights are on....

 It's always hard to get a good picture of the grandkids 

and we snapped lots to get this one of all of them :) 

and my sister and inlaws were out from out of state

so it added that much more fun to the days...

 I love it when everyone shares their favorite ornaments

so I thought I would share some of my snowman collection

with all of you.  Some of them I buy and some of them

I painted myself when I did decorative painting. 

 The snowman below is one of my favorites.  My

mom always said to put on happy faces on all my

characters because they make you smile and I 

think she was right because each year I look

forward to putting out all their smiling faces

and having everyone over to visit.... it was

a really fun Holiday Season this year!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I 

wish you good health and all the best for 2012!!

Lots of Hugs,  Teresa
