Hello, Dear Ones! Happy New Year to you all!
Well, so many of you are sharing your reviews of the past year on your blogs. I'm gonna do it too!
I must tell you this has been some kind of year for us as we decided we would sell our house in Galveston and buy a house in upstate New York so we could be with our little grandchildren and watch them grow up! So here we go...
JANUARY
I was sewing little meeces for grand daughter, Carter. We were decluttering and getting rid of so much junk before putting our house on the market.
FEBRUARY
I discovered cow creamers and went on a quest looking for some! Throwing out stuff so I could bring in more stuff! :)
MARCH
I showed you my finds - a cow creamer a day and added to my Pyrex collection! :) I really don't know why I was keeping it a secret but I did, we got a contract on our house!
APRIL
We traveled to New York to spend Easter with our little ones and looked at houses to buy.
MAY
I revealed the sale of our Galveston home. Then I shared about moving into our little house (the condo) and began the redoing of the rooms.
JUNE
I showed you more of the redoing of the little house.
JULY
I continued to add to my Jadite collection and started Barbie Mondays.
AUGUST
Biding my time as we're traveling to New York in Kiki and I shared our tour of Graceland with you then showed you the new/old house we bought in upstate New York!
SEPTEMBER
My first 'real' New York post as the moving van shows up with our furniture!
OCTOBER
I showed you the redo of the front of our home and the kitchen redo.
NOVEMBER
We celebrated special birthdays and showed you the den redo.
DECEMBER
One more time to see God's hand in our move ~ sharing special moments with our family.
I wish you all the happiest New Year and I'm so looking forward to blogging with you all in 2015!
You are always my sweeties,
Shelia ;)
I'll leave you with a little Note Song ~
Auld Lang Syne Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne!
Chorus.-For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne.
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne!
Chorus.-For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne.
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
~ sung by us all
Phew! What a whirlwind 2014 was for you! So many BIG things took place in your life...do you ever wonder How You Did It All? Now that you're settled, and hugging on those "grands"...maybe you can relax and breathe! Happy 2015!

Happy New Year, dear friend. That was quite a year - a year of change and challenge and God's leading. I look forward to hearing about the blessings that are coming in this new year. You always inspire me. We are in that place of clearing and simplifying and getting ready for whatever the year brings. Enjoy every minute with your grandkids - they are precious!

Such a busy year but a wonderful one! I know how much I love nearing my Grandson and I know you also are enjoying living near your's! It's the BEST! On to more adventures in 2015~

An incredibly busy year with so many changes, but very fulfilling and fun I am sure. I hope that 2015 brings lots of fun and nice things, but perhaps with not quite so many massive changes! xx
ReplyDeleteA year with Graceland is a good year indeed! Happy 2015 to you, you Hunka-Hunka burnin' love!
ReplyDeleteAnd God is all over this move! :-)
ReplyDeleteI cannot begin to tell you how happy I am that you have had such an eventful year and are able to be with your sweeties while they are little. That is so important. And having you in their lives is just HUGE.
This really makes my heart sing to read this post, Shelia. I hope and pray that God continues to bless you in the year to come. You are one of my bestest blog buddies, and I love you like I know you. But I do. In the spirit. :-)
So here is wishing you all the best for 2015! Wish us the best as well as we enter some unchartered waters. Good news is, God is the skipper! :-)

Happy 2015 Sheila!
ReplyDeleteI loved this re-cap of your year and it helped me know you and your blog a little better. I've been loving blogging so far and hope I can say at the end of this year that I'll have a year to re-cap!
Your new home looks so lovely. And I love the Barbie Mondays - they're a "stitch!" (bad pun I know) Lol
God bless for the New Year. xo
Your year has been a whirlwind, with travel, family, fun and moving! Here's to a bit of a rest in 2015!

What an exciting year you had in 2014, Shelia! I think the best thing was the move you made to NY to be closer to your grands. I'm sure you think so, too! : ) I will look forward to seeing more of your touch being added to your new home. Those mice - I pinned those back when you shared them hoping to maybe make something like the with all the fabric I have here. I hope to get to them this year!

ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to You! ( I have a sister named Sheila. Sometimes, I forget and write to her and spell her name like you do. She thinks I am so funny for forgetting how to spell her name.)

What a year. I've some catching up to do. Your new house is just beautiful. How is that winter going up there?
ReplyDeleteI'm a New Yorker transplanted to Texas. My Texan son just moved to New York. Both places are wonderful places to live. Congratulations on a wonderful and memorable year.
Those little cow creamers are the cutest things I have ever seen! I have one that I bought a few years ago at Home Goods....but I love these vintage creamers....especially these purple set. So charming!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the sell of your home!
