Happy New Year!!

Looks like I'll be ringing in the New Year with Dick! I'm still sick, but on the mend, so thanks for the well wishes! And, since I'm feeling a little better, my creativity is creeping back in:I made these gorgeous earrings today with some beautiful foil-lined glass beads. I love the "vintage" look they have about them. I guess I'm on a "vintage" kick [of sorts]...being inspired by all of these vintage images I've been perusing on this website. I'm addicted!! I even used a small collaboration of a few images to make my new Etsy banner:I love it!! So, if you're looking for a great throat soother..."Gypsy Cold Care" tea, with a dollop of local honey will do the trick! It's soooo good!

Welp, off to find something to fix for dinner, since we'll be staying in tonight. I hope you all have a very safe & a very Happy New Year!! See you in 2011!!!

♥ & peace always ~ Kathy

The crud...

...makes me a miserable old crab. I hate being sick! I woke up Monday morning with a sore throat and then a steady downhill slide into crudville. I started a "Z" pack yesterday, so I hope I feel good enough to go to the New Year's Eve party tomorrow night [of which, I've been soooo looking forward to]. If not, it'll be another New Year's Eve of making coffee at 10pm, just so I can stay awake long enough to watch Dick Clark wish us all a "Happy New Year"! But I am excited about this! It's an awesome "Bokeh Kit" that helps you create those beautiful little patterned light effects, like this:I can't wait to try it out!! But looking at this photo makes me think...yummmm ~ I need to go fix me a big cup of hot tea to sooth my aching throat! Happy New Year's Eve Eve!!

♥ & peace always ~ Kathy
