Happy New Year!

Wow, can you believe that it is 2010. We are entering a new decade and I'm not sure I was finished with the last one. There always seems to be so much that we don't get done and wish that there was more time. But I will look forward to this new year as I always try to do, with hopes and ideas and a few plans to make it a great year. Of course that means I need to get busy!!

Just an update from my last post, I did participate in three craft fairs and made a few dollars. Not much but it was fun and better a few than none at all. I just hope to be more prepared for sales next year, I have many ideas to create and maybe they will boost my sales if I get them done, if not they will still be fun to do (I just hope I can sell them and not have to store them).

Anyway then we moved on into Thanksgiving, followed by a trip to celebrate Brody's second birthday. What a big boy! It is so much fun watching him grow and learn! We took him to the San Francisco Zoo and that was fun, he loved the animals.

Once we got back home it was time to get started on Christmas preparations. We got our tree, pulled out all the decorations, and set up our village. We put the village in a different location this year and it was much better, more enjoyable because it wasn't up so high. It was fun as usual setting out all the snowmen and other decorations (I think I need a bigger house!) But I love all of it. It turned out to be a good Christmas season.
I watched Abby for three days starting on New Years Eve, it was Mark and Hopes anniversary. It was a lot of fun. She is getting so big and smart and it is getting to be fun trying to have a conversation with her. You can actually understand most of what she says now.

And that is a quick update without a lot of detail. But here is hopes that the new year will be better. I have made lists, not resolutions. A list of house stuff that needs to be done (painting, fixing, yardwork, etc.), lists of projects, crafts, etc., and working on a list of places to go this year (camping, drives, etc.). I like lists better than resolutions, you don't have to vow to do something that will take all year, and once you finish something you get to cross it off your list. And you actually have the potential to accomplish something. Yea!

Anyway until next time... have a great start to the new year!
