Now, that's a party!

This is for Take a Word..the theme is, Celebrate.

I usually do the same thing every New Year's Eve..

watch a movie, make a pan of fudge and hang out with my girls.

Nothing too wild..I certainly have never been to a party with a cat playing a banjo:)

Maybe next year!

I hope your night is fun, safe and entertaining.

A new year

Now that the dust has settled, and the party goers have gone home...

We move on to sweeter holidays:) I don't know about you, but I love January and February...the air seems sweeter, almost like you can smell candy wafting in the breeze.

This of course, is inspiring to me, I can imagine fairies whispering from the branches of trees, crystals sparkling in the sunlight, goblins selling their enchanted wares...they're there, we just need to look


It's a new year with so many amazing possibilities.
I hope you find much happiness, magic and inspiration.
Happy New Year!!
