A New Year, A New Start


Isn't it great that each year we get a fresh new start, a clean slate? Just when my "old slate" was definitely in need of a good cleaning, along comes December 31. . . the little ball drops, and then . . . Bam . . . clean slate, no elbow grease required! 365 brand new slates, just waiting to be filled. I'm excited about all of the possibilities that come with a new beginning. :)
Wishing you a year of filling your slate with blessings and joy. Happy 2009!!

(And, btw, this new little snowbunny is available at Glitter and Grunge.)
