This year has seen many challenges for myself and my family. Through all of the ups and downs there are certainly some things that stand out in my mind as things that 2016 has taught me. I thought I would share two of these with you.

Lesson One: These are the most important people in my life. Without the three of them I am nothing. I appreciate their unconditional love and acceptance and in returning try to give them nothing less.

Lesson Two: Whatever you set your mind to, you can achieve it. Especially when you have good friends beside you (and it includes a 35km walk).

Lesson Three: When things aren’t going your way, it’s totally ok to spend the day hiding at home with little faces like these.

I hope that 2017 brings you and your family good health and happiness. I look forward to sharing my fun and crafting with you next year. Love to everyone 💜
