Worth Waiting For....

If you've hung in with me during this blogging break - THANK YOU!

You totally rock and you are the reason I want to keep blogging on!

I think you are going to be glad, in 2013, that you stayed with me. 

I am embarking on an epic journey  - one that will take me into

senior citizenship with a BANG!

Mixed in with my DIYs in 2013 is going to be a healthy dose of

healthy living!  I need to lose (hold on to your hats) a whopping

80 pounds and believe me I'm going to give it a go!!

 

Coincidentally (I think not!) my word for 2013 is BELIEVE.....

I want to believe more in myself,

believe in the gift that is life and believe anything is possible!

 

So stick with me kid.....we're going places! (Oh yes, and I am

literally going places - Playa del Carmen in mid Jan for a week)

I turn 55 on the 8th (me 'n Elvis!) and I am determined that I can

be a fit and sexy senior!  Whahoo!

Once I  am back from my vacation - I am going to hit the bricks

and get in line!  Hope you will join me on what I hope will be a

fun filled year.......

 

 

Merry Christmas!

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas! 

 I look forward to doing more

 posting & sharing in the new year!

Where I've Been......

Did you miss me?  I've been taking a little blogging break mostly

because, like many of you - life is moving a break-neck speed and,

well, I don't want to break my neck as it were.....

 

To say I've been busy would be a HUGE understatement!  I have made

time lately though to do a little bit of Christmas prep.  I want to share

 some of my creations with you.  I made several of these:

 

I would be happy to send you the Word files if you are interested in

making these little mini-buntings or using the template to create your own. 

I printed these on canvas paper - for those of you in Canada - I got it at

Dollarama - it hangs so nicely.  I also purchased the little mini-clothes pegs

from another dollar store - they were $4.99 at Michaels which is

a little much for something so little - I like $1.245better!  A little

bead of hot glue along some jute and there you have it.  I will take some

more photos and add them this week.  I used some embellishments on some

of them - including some paper doilies.  The possibilities are endless and they

would look so sweet on the Christmas tree!  They'd be a great

booth-filler for Christmas sales (which is what I made them for!)

 

You can email me @ peartreejewels@gmail.com and

I will send along the Word files.

 

I hope to post more in the coming weeks.  I also will post the tutorial

on how to make glass magnets - I've made some Christmas ones too

so stay tuned - more to come!

Wednesday's Words.....

Canadian Thanksgiving has just come and gone....turkey's done and the

pumpkins are set out.....great time to remember the things we have that

we are thankful for.....

 

 

 

My list is long and probably like many of you includes my dear family,

friends, pets and in general my healthy, happy life!  It also includes

YOU!  Each of you inspires me through your creative blogging and through the

encouragement and friendship that you show not just to me but that I see

you demonstrating all over blogland.  It's a great community - larger

than life and I am thankful to have a little piece of it!

 

With arms outstretched I thank.

With heart beating gratefully I love.

With body in health I jump for joy.

With spirit full I live. ~Terri Guillemets

Hem your blessings with thankfulness

so they don't unravel. ~Unknown
