The tea was this lovely Afternoon Blend from Harrod's in London. Katie's mother-in-law was here for Christmas. Brenda always brings me such special treasures. In addition to the tea she brought me the pretty plaid Christmas tree cloth and a cute little plaid Santa for my tree...and some "figgy pudding". It was VERY good to be queen.....if only for an afternoon!
There are so many inspiring things in the land of blog. I'd like to share three that caught my eye today. First is this quote that Tracy posted on her blog today.
"We will open the book. It's pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day." Edith Lovejoy Pierce
Great quote ~ don't you think!! Thanks Tracy!
And finally the Top 100 Tutorials according to Ellen who has a blog called The Long Thread. She posts so many incredible ideas ~ and now she's put 100 of them all in one post!! I can't wait to try some of these. There's so many cute grandbaby gift ideas!!
Needless to say this is just a teeny bit of what's "out there" as far as inspiration goes. I've known about this land of blog for about 20 months ~ I can't figure out how I managed without it!
I'm off to visit some more of my friends!

Happy New Day, Happy New Year Marie! I'm excited to have this brand new page to start on. And because of all the friendship in blogland I have a desire to actually make the best out of it with a bit of hope and excitement. I love the quote that you shared with us. I'd never heard it but I love it now. And thanks sharing the other two blogs with us. It's always so fun to find new places to visit.
Have a blessed night....Tracy :)
I think is wonderful that you got a day to yourself to relax and enjoy. My time is early in the morning before Wendell gets up. Seeing your pile of magazines has me wanting to go pick up a few to be further inspired.
*hugs*
