A Year Ending and A New Year Beginning

With this year ending

and Christmas now behind us -

for some very joyous and for others a little sad

I thought I might share a few gifts I was given from

blogging friends

including Liz

http://www.lululizinlalaland.blogspot.com/ 

This most beautiful book of tags.

The amount of detail in each one of these

is incredible as are all of the images

she has used.

There is one for every season too.

Liz thank you so much for making these for me

you are just so kind, clever and thoughtful

and

you really are in my thoughts at the moment

dear friend!

And this most exquisite piece of artistry and creativity

from my very dear friend, Dorthe of

www.denlillelade.blogspot.com

I just have to share some of the detail in this so

that you can really appreciate the artistic talent Dorthe has.

Oh those lovely big blue eyes

with that joyful smile

looking so gorgeous!!!

And look at the tiny fingers so cleverly shaped

as well as the beautiful shoes she is wearing

and the embellishments on her dress!

There is only one word I can think of to express this gorgeous
fairy doll

and that is "Stunning"!

Thank you so much my dear sweet friend

she is so happy to be living with me now in a much

warmer climate too.

You have been just so kind and generous to me - 
 I will really treasure her!
I am so very fortunate to have you in my life!

I have a few more special items to share with you next time

but for now I just wanted you to cast your eyes

over this beauty!

Can you believe that this is just one rose stem

Just look at all of the blooms -

her name is Sally Holmes

and I can only assume the size of this gorgeous rose

is due to the most abundant rain we have been

having this Spring and Summer here

downunder.

Wishing everyone a most fulfilling New Year creating

what you love, sharing precious moments,

and remembering little acts of kindness to each

and everyone!

Love, Suzy xxx
