Hi Everyone
Happy New Year to you all !! I hope that 2010 holds all that you would like it to.
I always love the start of a new year and starting a new calendar and a new diary. All those empty pages .. .. .. .. just waiting to be filled with who knows what? Let's just hope everyone gets to fill theirs in with only good things this year. Wouldn't that be nice?
2010 the year of good things for everyone !!
At this point I usually have a long, long list of resolutions and by mid January I have forgotten half of them - so this year I am only making one. My one resolution being "to be a better person than I was last year".. .. .. .. and if I make this same resolution every year from now on then just think what a nice person I will be by the time I am 80!!
So now on to all things crafty .. .. ..
Lots of challenges are kicking in now that the Christmas break is over and my crafty share today is one of the DT creations I have made for the "By the Cute and Girly" challenge.
The theme is to create something to celebrate "something new". This could be a new job, a new baby, a new home .. .. .. .. lots of possibilities actually.
For my first creation I am celebrating "a new year"!!

You have all month to join in this challenge - and your creation doesn't have to be a card. It can be anything - a scrap book page, a piece of embroidery, knitting .. .. the world is your oyster!!
Why not pop over and have a look to see what the rest of the DT came up with. There are some wonderful prizes on offer as always.
The weather has been really dull here in the Midlands and useless for taking photographs - I have had to resort to taking them in the bathroom. I won't tell you where I have to sit to take them!! That would indeed be "too much information". LOL!!!
I am hoping for a quiet day today. It is very peaceful at the moment - the remains of the party guests are all still in bed and all I can hear is the radio playing in the kitchen and every so often the gentle sound of pine needles dropping off the Christmas tree and hitting the baubles as they fall !! I hate the end of Christmas!!
I might be able to stretch the tree out for another day or two but then I am afraid it is bye, bye. Shame.
OK - off to start being that better person I am promising to be - I will start by clearing up all the kitchen before anyone else gets up!!
Happy 2010 everyone. Thank you to everyone who calls by and leaves me such lovely comments - I do appreciate them very much.
Love Jules xx
