Thank You and 2013 Blog Award Nominations

Hello Friends and Happy New Year’s Eve!

As we close out the year 2013, I would like to take this time to say, “Thank You” to all my wonderful bloggy friends and followers.

blog

A Blog is defined as:

  1. “a personal website or web page on which an individual records opinions, links to other sites, etc. on a regular basis.”

Yet it is so much more, a blog becomes part of you, a special part of your life an extension of your personality.  If done in the right spirit it can fill you with added joy and happiness.

Each of you in your own unique way has definitely added more joy and happiness to my life.  When you take the time to read and comment on my posts, write your own uplifting and informational posts – take beautiful photographs and fashionable attire, you open your home and hearts to others…and all of this makes my life brighter.

Thank you D-Anna at Style Salvation, a fashionista diva for nominating me for a “Best Moment” award and thank you Clouds n Cups, jewelry designers extraordinaire for the “Blog of The Year 2013” award nomination!

OOTD – Countdown to 2013

Hello Friends and Happy New Year’s Eve 2012!

Back to work after having a week off which flew by too quickly, thankfully there are only a few others in the office so I can play catch-up in peace.  My son, aka “Lamont” gave me some clothes to be donated to Goodwill but I kept this flannel shirt (Fred) and it fits perfectly!
