Happy New Year's eve!!! Before we step into a new year, I always like to look back. This was a year full of big changes. Chloe turned 16, Auberne` 21 and I turned 50. This has been a hard year for me personally and I am not sure how to processed into the new year but processed I must, one day at a time. I know this up coming year will be full of challenges and blessings. Thank you for letting me share my life with all of you. My hope, as it has always been since I started this blog, is I add something useful and hopeful to your day xox
Chloe on her 16th birthday
Auberne` at a steampunk party
January Italian Pumpkin Meatball Soup
February Jewelry Candle
March From Skirt to Shirt and Back Again
April Double Pepper Italian Jar Salad
May Homemade Shampoo
June Prosciutto Topping
July Cabinet Redress
August Peach Melba Salad
September Cabinet Makeover
October Apple Cider Marinate
November Apple Themed Thanksgiving
December Snow and Ice Christmas
May this coming year be one of completion: part two of "Wren", projects around the house (which you seem to always finish! LOL) and more memories that are wonderful so you can pull them out and hug them tight during the sad times!
Much love..

I wish you nothing but the best for the New Year, Clarice. Last year was a hard one for us, as well, but the New Year is filled with promise and excitement. And that is always something to look forward to! :) xoxo

The best to you and your wonderful family. Would love to meet you in person someday!! If I ever get down that way from Alaska. I usually fly into CA. but who knows. Well Dear it's pouring down rain here and our snow has melted down to the ice underneath! No party for me tonight. But I'm not a party girl I made my own fun in my craft room here. You have so much and are only 50 the age of my son!! Love Nan

What a great idea to list the highlights of your Blog Year!
I read a great thought this morning from Alan Cohen's Book "A Deep Breath of Life" that I think is the key to meeting the challenges life brings: "Live fully today, and you will be taken care of tomorrow....Something is always dying, but something is always being born....take your [new] knowledge and build on it to make a new year unlike any you have lived before."
I think anything that helps us learn to live one day at a time is a nugget of gold. May 2013 bring you love, peace, and prosperity in the things that matter.
