Happy New Year 2009!

We are leaving tomorrow to the desert to go riding for new years. My son got a newer dirt bike (hopefully we will see him smile) ! Teenagers......wow need I say more? I love my son, he is a good kid, but sometimes uurrrr.

Anyway, here's to a new year full of peace, joy and laughter and losing weight! I'm sorry I had to sneak that in. Really I need to make this the year of getting healthier! Okay, enough said.

Glory to God in highest Heaven,

Who unto man His Son hath given:

While angels sing with tender mirth,

A glad new year to all the earth!

Martin Luther

Merry Christmas Hilary!

Well Christmas is over......every year it seems to come and go so fast. This year was a hard year for us , just like so many people. Even though this is my favorite time of year, I am glad to see this year come to a close. I had a great time with friends and family, I am just ready for a new year. I have a hopeful heart that this year will be better! I pray that this year will be filled with hope and love and kindness!

For Christmas my Niece Hilary asked me to paint her a picture, well I was pleased beyond words to do this! I must say it is one of my favorites. Here is the painting and one of her after she opened it.

Pink Saturday

Welcome and Merry Christmas! This week I thought I would share pink Christmas wreaths. They are so fun and pretty! My Christmas colors are pretty much the traditional red, green, silver and gold.

It would be fun to have a totally pink Christmas! To check out more Pink Saturday Fun, please go to Beverly's blog @ howsweetthesound.typepad.com. Thanks for your visit!
P.S. Remember Jesus is the reason for the season!
Blessings!

Christmas Baking

Baking is one of my favorite things to do around the Holidays! I always bake the same cookies, which is fine. I really like the cookies I bake however, I always say that I want to try a new cookie and never do. This year I am going to try the magic cookie bar. Hope it comes out good!




This vintage post card is one of my favorites!
