Wishing You All A Happy New Year

Thanks So Much for Being Such Lovely Friends

002

I wanted to take a minute to wish all of you, my dear Bloggy Friends, a happy, healthy and blessed New Year! Thanks so much for all your visits to Bella Vista and a special thanks to those who take the time to leave comments….I know this is especially difficult when we all have so many demands on our time. It is appreciated!

So many of you have become dear to me….I feel as though I know you and that is the very best part of blogging.

Forgive me for not being around much these days….I am just knee-deep in work and projects. My husband received (from me….Mrs. Santa….shhhhhh)  the large cherry executive desk he has wanted for his study for a long time.  We  had the guest bed in his study and it had to go, so that meant reworking the den into the new guest room. Now, we will watch telly in the family room….which is too large for my liking to watch television…..so I am working on making it cozy…..a BIG job. Are you confused yet? Haha.

Also making changes (big and small) in every other room in our cottage (even the sun porch) except the kitchen and the bathrooms…..I am bone weary but so happy with all the new changes…..feels like a new house. :-)

May 2012 be all you want it to be.

  4. I love doing things like that and have a few plans of my own in the new year. Time will only tell if those plans materialize or not. My office/craftroom/catch all room needs some big time help. I'm sure those busy moments of yours will be happy times too as you create some special places there at your house. It will be looking very new there for your New Year! Thank you too for sharing your special moments with us. My very best of wishes to you for a HAPPY New Year!

  7. Hello Barb
    It sounds like you're making many changes all at once which would be tiring. However, once done you can sit back and enjoy the rooms.
    Happy New Year.

  22. Happy New Year, Barb!

    Wow - sounds like a lot of changes underway! Good for you! How did your new kitchen work out? I can't wait to see the before and after pictures!

    Thanks for your sweet email, by the way. I'm fine, just overwhelmed with life in general. It's no simple feat being a career woman and mother to a precocious preschooler! Beginning to see that I just can't "do it all" without something lacking, so I'm working on refocusing on what matters most - my family (and sanity!)

    Love to you and yours :)
