All the best for a fine year. A small hope of mine is that I will buy a camera like yours as I really want to photograph flowers like you do!

All sounds very idealistic...in reality I know that there are many weeds in my garden, burnt baking (or no baking) on my bench, invasions of TV and internet on my time, and my kids arguing in the room next door! But I will try and focus on the good and less on the negative.<br />Thanks for your beautiful and colourful artwork that brightens my day Ellen.<br /><br />Deb Wall<br />aldeb@orcon.net.nzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954570605187021959.post-77982207157134140252013-01-02T03:54:39.858+13:002013-01-02T03:54:39.858+13:00I started full time work this year, so my hope is ...I started full time work this year, so my hope is to feel that I'm still spending enough time with my four kids. We'll be doing more crafty and arty things together (the younger ones will turn 4 and 6 this year) and I honestly can't wait! Thanks for inspiring me in 2012! I have one of your tote bags and I always love using it.<br />Anna Bartletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17140909637865426746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954570605187021959.post-46416492890725323882012-12-27T06:24:30.927+13:002012-12-27T06:24:30.927+13:00Hope you enjoyed the Christmas festivities.
