Happy New Year !!!!!!
I hope this is year full of blessings and exciting new things. I am very excited to see what the new year brings. Kelli did a wonderful post of the past year of her blog and I thought I would steal her idea (Thank you Kelli xoxo). You post the first line, of the first post of each month last year. I will be back in few more days. We are day late on everything this year, so we will be celebrating the New Year tomorrow. I am making some yummy things and will share. Make sure you kiss everyone, on this first day of 2008 xoxoxoxo

That was a fine way to remember the past year. I'm hoping that you will share which ideas you used for your "Lean Christmas." So many super ideas were shared.
Happy New Year to all in your Home.
