2012: It’s Been a Good One

I always spend the last day of the year being sentimental over the days gone by.  This year, I’m overwhelmed when I think about the blessings we’ve received.  I’m also thankful to you for letting me share some of it—even the stuff that has nothing to do with decorating.

 

 

Here’s a little look back at some of the highlights of our year. . .
