The Creative Tuesday theme for today is New Year. I got my idea whilst reading Simple Abundance in which Sarah Ban Breathnatch writes; “Time is the New Years bountiful blessing; three hundred and sixty five bright mornings and starlit evenings; fifty two promising weeks; twelve transformative months of beautiful possibilities...” What more needs to be said after such optimism!

What a brilliant idea. This is very creative. The sun is finally shining in Ky. and that makes things seem better for me. I love the clean white new snow but hate the mess it leaves. Might look into that book. A great quote. Blessings

This is absolutely gorgeous. It reminds me a bit of the Flavia images, only more bold.
And what a great sentiment! 365 magical golden days and tranquil nights to explore our possibilities.
Happy 2011
