Happy New Year!


Thank you for the Christmas wishes - we had a wonderful day! I spent a few days before and after Christmas nursing a head cold but it's finally clearing out.

I'm here to wish you and yours the very best in the new year. I hope that 2010 will be full of everything wonderful and delightful.

Personally and outside our home 2009 has been challenging for many. My family and I are very happy to see 2009 coming to an end and have high hopes for new beginnings in 2010. I could go on and on about the distress and challenges we faced in 2009 but that wouldn't change anything and only fill me with negative feelings. Sigh!

I try to choose a word every year that I carry in my heart and mind. In 2010 I want to focus on two words..... "Gratitude & Generosity".

I'll be back tomorrow, January 1, 2010 to issue a small challenge. I hope you'll check back with me.

I'm very grateful for your visits and comments! Thank you!

In Friendship and Happy New Year!!!

Darlene, it has been such a delight and pleasure to get to know you through this crazy land of blog. I've loved your quilts and your thoughts. You've inspired me in so many ways. I wish you a very happy and blessed New Year. And I am looking forward to seeing what 2010 has in store for you on Quilting Daze :-)

In friendship,

I'm glad to let go of 2009 too. But it makes me worry about 2010!!! Already I have a broken washer/dryer and broken phone. Things happen in 3s don't they? Sheesh. Lets hope both of us have a good year.
