Happy New Year

To all my amazing friends here on my blog. You have walked with me this year on the most difficult path I have ever taken. You have shared my joys and my most intimate tears, and from my heart I don't think I could have got through this year without you all. I know we have never met and only conversed here on my blog or by phone & email, but all of you that have left messages of comfort, love & hugs when my family needed it the most, I Thank You so much. Thank You, are just two little words, but at this time they are the biggest words I can send each of you with the biggest of hugs to go with them.

We are all having New Years Eve on our own. I would love to have spent it with Claire, Toby & Craig but realise Claire & Toby need this time to let go of 2016 to be able to reflect and remember, it's so difficult as I just want to hug them all. It's so hard having to stand back sometimes.

I have been sorting out my workroom as it looks like a bomb has hit it over the Christmas, not because of making things but storing things, and I just want it gone! I did treat myself to a few of Sue's dies over Christmas in the sales. It is my intention to make some cards in 2017, and again Paul has said, " If you don't use it you'll lose it " ( Yeh right!! ). So I have to get my backside into gear in 2017.

So finally,      I think you are all amazing, and I would like to send each and everyone of you a heartfelt Thanks, Love, Health & Happiness for 2017, and maybe meet some of you this year at AP.

See you Soon

Tina XX

I could not let Christmas go without sending you all a big heartfelt Thank you for all of your support for us as a family through the most difficult year in our lives, I genuinely don't know how I would have coped without knowing that you were there for us. To just turn on my computer and see so many beautiful words when I needed to see a friendly message, you never let me down, Thank you so so much.

I would like to send you all good wishes for a wonderful Christmas and for us all to have a 2017 that brings us all Peace, health & happiness.

Just a little Christmas game, it won't take too long. It's called spot the dog. Paul found this on his phone the other day.

I remember this day very well. We couldn't find her in the house, we knew she hadn't gone far. We went outside and called her, unknown to us she had curled up in one of the chairs, when we called her this little head popped up from her snooze. Little minx!!



I took Half Pint over the forest the other day when we had that thing called sunshine. She was amazed at all the animals that were out that day. Here's just a few.

Mum had her nose right in the window.

This one I had to show you. I have never seen a sheep with such unusual markings. This one had 2 black ears, 2 black eyes, a black nose and black and white stripey legs. I did try to get a close up but it was a bit camera shy.

And finally, a Merry Christmas from Half Pint. XX

Merry Christmas everyone & and a Happy New Year.XX
