{a fun distraction}

 2012

Wow! Time sure flies.

Did you make any New Year's resolutions?

Mine is the same old list I've been working on for years but get too distracted to accomplish. Maybe this is finally the year when I can concentrate on the things that matter the most. Wish me luck.

Talking about distractions... I already signed up for one:

Carla Sonheim's Faces 101 online class

Who wants to join me? Should be ton of fun. You don't have to be an artist to sign up.

Here's a great New Year's family tradition idea:

It really is the simple things in life that make us smile. Check out this bunny. Sienna dressed her with the Calico Critters toilet seat covers.

Christmas is almost here. So exciting! I can't wait to see Sienna's face when she opens up her main present: a keyboard. She has a little kids' one that she loves to play (she's learned to play songs on her own). The one she's getting is full sized and makes all sorts of sounds, not just piano sounds. She's going to be in heaven, i tell ya. Love it when you can find the perfect gift for someone. To top it all off: the keyboard has earphones. I'm pretty happy about that. Not always fun listening to kids practise. :) 

I finally bought a new wallet. My old one was over 20 years old! Crazy, isn't it? I just never seemed to find a wallet I liked. I've been looking for a new one for years.

Now it's time to take a break from blogging and enjoy the magic of Christmas with my family.

Merry Christmas everyone!
