My New Years resolution besides losing the last stubborn 12 or 15 pounds, is to REMEMBER SPECIAL EVENTS ON TIME!!! (especially birthdays!) I was giving my long distance daughter and family their birthday gifts with their Christmas gifts - NOT GOOD!! Her BD was in JUNE!! This is so bad!! I'm thinking I MIGHT be more in touch with stuff since our lives with Keith's new job will be so much more "normal". I have MISSED the challenges, but with 17 people in and around your house and here for meals, etc, it was nigh unto impossible to find time!! OR ROOM!! ;) Happy New Year everyone and may all your resolutions come TRUE!!

HA! This has been my ongoing resolution for several years running now! I knew we were kindred spirits... I have Halloween cards (in envelopes, with addresses on them) from TWO years ago! What is UP with THAT?!?!?!?! Beautiful card, as always, my dear... Oh - I did manage to get the Christmas gifts sent in time this year - first time EVER!!!

Love the texture and the pop of black with these soft colors on your fabulous card! I can totally relate to your resolution...my niece's birthday card is still sitting on my table...her birthday was in September!

Ha - I do my best to be on time, but if my half-sister gets gifts or cards out within three or four months she's doing well - you're not alone by a long way. I've had Christmas presents (including a diary) in August. Hallo, a diary in August?? I bet you wouldn't do that.
Well Scripted?
I found someone who feels the same about hydrangeas - I'd posted a photo of some dead heads that I loved, and she said she didn't like the pink cauliflower ones either.
Happy New Year to you, and just enjoy all the family while you have them.
