MyGirl made these for New Years. She found the idea on Pinterest, including the directions, and with six pieces of copy paper and some glue dots, made this wonderful snowflake.
Here it is both at night and in the daytime in our kitchen. It just brings a happy feeling to our room with its large size and beauty. She loves Pinterest, as do I, but boy is it addicting. . . I have to limit myself to half hour time limits when I get on. . . . too easy to get lost in time there!
I found these glasses many years ago at Ross on an after Christmas sale. A literal cup of cheer - perfect for welcoming in the New Year. At our house that meant sparkling cider or cranberry ginger ale. The only downside, these are hand-wash only, but since we don't use them that often, its okay.
Then there are our favorite games: Dalmuti and Farkle. Many a New Years Eve were spent playing Dalmuti with the Gillies. I still miss Amy every Dec. 31. Can't believe its already been 2 1/2 years since she's been gone. We had a good time playing with Mom and Dad this year.
Now that school is back in session, viola lessons and Scouts in full swing with LittleBuddy playing on a local YMCA basketball league too it feels like New Years and Christmas were a long time ago. Its been an exhausting 2013 but we're still going. MyMike gets back from Niagara Falls tomorrow. I've only seen him 24 hours in the last eleven days. Sure have missed him. May have to pull out the mugs to celebrate his return tomorrow.
