Happy New Year!

   

Christmas brought a lot of warmth and joy to our house.Christmas songs have been played on the trumpet,delicious food has been eaten,lots of presents have been opened,So much excitement for people and pets.And then the New Years celebration was quieter,spent at home with some more delicious food and a glass of wine watching the New Year's show from Time's Square.It was quieter in the house because the kids were not home celebrating with their friends.They had fun for sure as well as we did.I loved this New Year's show and almost all the performers who sang.It was great!
And now we have to start getting used to the idea that the Holiday season is over./I wish it could last at least for another month!!!/I have to start thinking about a New Year's resolution.I don't know yet...The only thing I could think of was that I have to start drinking more herb tea.There was a period in my life when I drank a lot of herb tea and was very healthy,no flu could knock me over.Oh,...and maybe my regular one:To make more time for sketching/drawing and art.In two words to be creative.So,guys let's be more creative in the New Year 2015.Let's make time for  the things we like to do!HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you,who stops by to read my blog!

The most wonderful time of the year!!!

It's the most wonderful time of the year as they say in the song.I enjoy every minute of it whenever I can.Especially this weekend.I am almost recovered from the nasty flu I got at the beginning of the week.It was not fun I am telling you.My whole family was sick with the cough,fiver,chills,body aches-the works!But we survived and everything is back to normal now,thank god.These pictures are snippets of  my day today.Very rarely I will be able to post pictures on the day I take them but today is one of these days.I got a lot of rest and drank a lot of herb tea with chocolate cakes,did some chores and took a lot of pictures,cooked delicious creamy potato soup and went to the Christmas parade with my girl and her friends.It is one of those days that create memories.

It's the season to be jolly!

It is freezing cold outside but I love this season for the joy and inspiration it brings.

Getting ready for Christmas.

It is this time of the year. Yesterday almost the whole day I spent decorating for Christmas. And I am not done yet!!! My daughter and her friend helped with the Christmas tree and baked delicious peanut butter cookies. I am glad I finally completed the idea I got from Pintrest last year. I made this Christmas tree out of a tomato plant cage and some lights from Menard's. I think it turned out great. It looks great on my porch.
