Happy New Year!

I would like to wish a happy, healthy and prosperous 2011 to everyone out there and a special congratulations to Kimberly of The SEWphisticated Mama, whose comment #90 was randomly chosen as the winner of the QUILT Magazine contest! CONGRATS, Kimberly! Please contact me at your earliest convenience with your mailing address and I'll send a little care package your way.

Thank you all for the well wishes this past week! Just like everything else, the flu came & went and now we are sitting here enjoying the last few days of Winter vacation. I hope you all had a great New Year's Eve celebration. I was lucky enough to be able to spend it with my 3 most favorite people in the whole wide world, and here are a few shots from our evening...





I had such a fun time last night with these three goofballs that I decided that my New Year's resolution is to spend more quality time with the ones I love. I do love my work and would never feel like myself without it... and let's face it: it pays the bills, so in a round-about way, I am showing my love for my family by working my butt off. But sometimes I get so immersed in it that I forget to pause and enjoy the beauty that's right in front of my eyes. This coming year I would like to find that perfect balance. After all, they're only little once, right?

Here's to a great 2011! CHEERS!!!
