Looking Forward to a New Year—Happily!

On a personal level, of all the holidays, New Year’s Day, creates a round-eyed optimism and brings the most hope to me.  I think it’s one of the holidays I look forward to the most.  We usually relax, eat what we want, and ring the year in casually while discussing the year’s events and what we look forward to in the year to come.  How cool is that?!  What are you all looking forward to?  What will you miss about 2010?  One thing I will miss about 2010 is just how well the year looks in print or written in your own handwriting.  Silly, huh? 

Best wishes to you all, be safe, and happy crafting!
