Can you believe it that it will be 2012 in few days time? I can’t wait for the new year to begin and to give my house a good clean after the holidays, toss out the tree, organize paper work, compost holiday blooms and “start over”.
2012 will be a good year I’ve decided. Not that 2011 wasn’t but I really look forward to the new year. So much so that I’ll redo the 365 project. I missed taking the daily photos this year and can’t wait to start again.
This will be my last post this year, sweet readers, but I’ll see you again next year.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! GOTT NYTT ÅR!

wooh you had me scared for a minute with the last post coment!! So glad it's just a few days, you are my MARTHA. I often look back at your post for refurel, as well as reading every single day since 2009. Can not wait to see your pictures, I loved them before. Oh yea happy new year!

I missed taking a daily photo this past year too. After 3 years of doing a 365 daily project, it kind of becomes a habit. I LOVE how you had your project turned into a book. I keep changing my mind on what I want to do with mine.

See y'all next year. A nice fresh page.

How long will the favourite blog competition be going on? I've discovered that you can vote once a day - and I faithfully do so. I really hope that you will win - you so deserve it!

A Happy New Year to you too!
I only discovered your blog a couple of months ago but it quickly became my favourite. It is so beautifully put together and the ideas and projects you've shared have inspired so many changes in my home. I love your style, I love the way you write and most of all I love your positive attitude to life (and its many challenges).
I hope 2012 has some wonderful surprises in store for you and your lovely family. I'm looking forward to checking in each day to see how you are doing and what you're working on.
Much love, Carol xx

Ive decided I'm going to take part in the 385 project for the first time next year and I can't wait. I'll probably turn mine into a book afterwards too. It just seems the right thing to do.

I've missed yours this year, and even found myself going back and looking through some of yours from the previous year! :)
I'm starting my 3rd year of taking them, but I'm not good at posting all of them.
I do the Becky Higgins' Project Life album, though!
:)
Happy New Year!!!

I always liked "365" too, I'll be happy to see its return.

Happy New Year, Benita! :-) You are a constant inspiration to me and the one blog I always read every single day no matter what! I'm so glad you're bringing back the 365 days project! It's such a nice way for us to "read" about your life without all those words - pictures do really tell such a wonderful story, always! Today I started my own 365 days project (inspired by you, of course) and I only hope I can stick with it! I am encouraging myself by promising to print them all into a nice book in the end! Thanks for everything, as always! :-)
