End of 2014 and a GIVE AWAY!!!!


It is really hard to believe that today is the last day of 2014 and to think, I was sitting on Main Street of Magic Kingdom this time last year.   I had one stitching goal last year and that was to spend the year working on Sistine Chapel...well..that went in the toilet since I cut up the project and called it quits!  I think this year I want to work on my HAED - Faery Tales and my Disney design - Preening Pixie.  That's it....not a lot of goals!.

I have to give a shout out to Faith over at Faithfully Stitching.   I used to read blogs all the time because blogger had a feature that showed all the new posts in one spot.  When they took it away, I got really bad about checking others blogs. Faith published a post on Facebook and it when I popped over, I saw she had a button called Bloglovin'!  I clicked it and it is just like the blogger feature!!!  I signed up immediately, found some friends blogs and now I get a daily email telling me who has posted!!!  I can go there and read them!!  It is awesome!!!!!


Faery tales Progress as of 12-31-14

Here is my beanstalk that I have been working on this Christmas break...I love how the colors are changing on the bottom...

My new Planners for the year.  The black one is my stitching journal for the year and the red polka dots is my personal calendar.  A personal goal I have is to stop eating out every meal.  So I hope to keep track of where my money is going.  I actually have 3 planners...one is for my Thirty one business!   



My DH has excellent taste in jewelry.  This is my Christmas present.


Hosted my ladies tea with my Cross Stitch group....here is my China.  I LOVE IT!

The boys loved Christmas morning!  We can't buy them chew toys or bones anymore because they will fight over them and it isn't pretty...but they love boxes and paper!


Gibbs new trick when he thinks you aren't paying him attention.  He jumps on arm of chair and starts staring. He doesn't stop until you stop what you are doing and love on him.


Tusk on the other hand give you this look....


This is me with my Brother, Grandpa, Sister and Dad.

Yep, Bloglovin is great! I've used it for years... ever since Google Reader went away.

Cute planners. So you! :)

I'd be interested in the ornament issue.

That's a great photo of you and your family members. Love the ring!

Happy New Year!!

I'll have to check out bloglovin' - didn't know about it!
I love your Disney project and look forward to your progress.
Congrats on a beautiful ring!
Thank you for offering the magazines - if picked, I'd like the JCS Ornament issues or the Cross-stich and needlework magazine. Blessings, Donna

Lovely stitching! That ring looks really pretty. I would like to participate into the draw and I'm interested about the Cross-stitch and needlework.

Good luck on your 2015 goal! Seems like me ... I recently bought a book I already had, and I am sure I still have 2 copies of a Linkin Park cd back up North. I won't enter this time (as hem an entire bookcase full of magazines is making feel guilty as it is - mind not all cross stitch). Book hope you will fins a nice home for them.

I have been using Bloglovin since google reader went away. Your ring is beautiful! I would be interested in being in your drawing for the magazines. I think I would like the preview ornament issue the best.

Thanks, and Happy New Year!

Glad you found the Bloglovin button! It makes life a bit easier; but I still miss the Google Reader.
