Merry Christmas to all!


I hope you are having a great holiday season! I've been having fun. Here are a few pictures from this week.


My little pink tinsel tree. I love it, but next year I want a real tree, even if it's a miniature one.


My friend gave me a gorgeous arrangement of tulips, berries, and greenery. Flowers are one of my favorite things so I've really been enjoying this bouquet!


My friend Silke Powers gave me several great gifts, including these pretty fingerless gloves that she made and the wonderful bobcat mug with her artwork. Silke now offers her artwork on items over at Society6.com so if you have not checked it out yet, head on over there to see her mugs, totes, art prints, iPhone and iPad cases, and much more.


My friend Stephanie gave me a Christmas stocking in a bag, and I had such fun opening all of these goodies!

Many other people sent cards and gifts this Christmas, and I'm so thankful to have such good friends and family in my life. More importantly, as a cancer survivor, I am grateful every day just to be here, enjoying my life. The goal for next year is to increase the gratitude factor, which automatically increases the joy!

Truly, it was a great Christmas, and I hope yours was too! I have been absent from the blog world for much of this year. One project that's kept me busy is making beaded stretch bracelets for my Etsy shop, Fresh Start Beadery. You may or may not see more of me here in 2015. Who knows what the New Year holds! But I certainly wish all of you a terrific 2015. I think it's going to be an amazing year!
