Social media is so funny sometimes. A gal that I have known online for a long time had an event recently and it was the first time we got a chance to meet in person. Even though we live in the same county. It’s just like that sometimes, isn’t it? Anyway, her blog is Canary Jane, so please hop on over and check out her post about the evening. She has more photos that I do.

It was fun to have a little girls night out, and practice drawing leaves. The end result was a wreath around a quote. I picked the quote below, as it so often fits life. We are having fun, and later those are the best memories. Here is my finished wreath:

She is planning to do more craft nights in the future too, so if you are local and those kinds of things are up your alley, but sure to follow her blog for announcements.

It’s hard to believe another year has come and gone. Time sure does go fast, and it seems to be speeding up each year.

I used to pick a single word as a theme for the coming year. Looking back in my archives here, it seems I haven’t done so since 2011. Oops!

I haven’t given it much thought for 2018, and to be honest I am not sure that I will choose one. The whole holiday season kind of snuck up on us this year, as we were busy dealing with the craziness of life and doing things like replacing my car, and sadly, also our HVAC system. Oh yes, after 20 years driving Rhonda the Honda, it was finally time for a new car.

Also, I have noticed that I tend to forget about my theme word a few months into the year anyway. Perhaps it’s just too rigid? It’s more enjoyable to take the days as they come, and not try to force so much into it, but just let it be what it is.

I do think I might start sharing here more often again though… just for fun. No sponsors, no traffic goals. Back to “the good old days” so to speak, when blogging was about connecting with other people.
