I have been trying to sort out what the remainder of my 2012 year should entail…and playing into that is the most current of events.  I am quite frankly having trouble wanting to talk about much of anything here — it is partially the season (quiet winter) and it is mostly that I just want to put it all down for a little while and enjoy the holidays with my family and specifically my little people (who I can’t help but want to hug at least 10 extra times a day).

I am craving quiet and loving the dark that envelopes us at this time of year….but still wanting to share a little twinkle and sparkle.  I had this idea that I might try and virtually hang some twinkly lights around the site here, but as with many things technology wise… changing up blog templates is a pain — and it will take me more time to figure out how to do it than I have to give.  So instead…it will just grace all the posts until I tire of it.

So instead of dithering about what to write about when my head is somewhere else…..this is what I have decided to do:  Over the next week and a half (until about New Years Eve or so) the daily posts will be heavily loaded with images of pretty, sparkly, holiday inspired, winter beauty along with a reprisal of some posts from the past (If I must say so myself, there are quite a few real winners that just never get seen now that this site has been live for nearly 5 years).

I hope you have a wonderful holiday season.
