last days of 2011

Spending the last days of 2011 with my nieces. No matter how many ups and downs may come and go in my life, family is always something that is what makes all the bad memories be forgotten. The good memories are always what I look back to and realize that the year wasn't as bad as it could of been. Happy New year, may your year be filled with good memories to come. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to view my blog.

Nails for Halloween and Thanksgiving 2011

Happy Holidays!

Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself...
~Norman Wesley Brooks, "Let Every Day Be Christmas," 1976

Happy Holidays!
