Another year looms ....

Full of so many new stitching opportunities! I am in the midst of stitching a Christmas ornament to submit to Just Cross Stitch magazine to consider for their 2013 Ornament Issue - the good news is that they just accepted my Halloween design for the specialty Halloween issue so the new year is off to a grand start before it has really started!

We returned from our family vacation in the Bahamas and stayed at the very fabulous Atlantis Resort - only drawback was the insane prices for food and beverages - I'm talking $9 for a bottle of water and $32 for a side Caesar salad - wow, talk about having sticker shock! I will never ever complain about restaurant prices in Fargo ever again!!!p

Every good vacation must come to an end!

Alas it is time to head back home to reality and cold snowy weather! Went through the lost city of Atlantis so here are some wonderful photos I wanted to share - happy stitching!

Christmas Day

Spent the day beside a pool and walking beside the ocean - kids wanted to know if Santa would be able to find them so we said he must have left their presents at home instead of on vacation! Nothing like a turkey buffet dinner that shouts Christmas Dinner!

Christmas Eve.....

Is Santa on his way to your house tonight? Hopefully you have all landed on the NICE list instead of the naughty list???? Have yourselves a merry little Christmas tomorrow!
