Out with Old, In with the New



I have to be honest I'm glad to see the back of 2014, yes we did have some great HIGHS,
 my Mum and Dad renewing their vows,


Mason's First Birthday


My brother's 60th


 and a gorgeous Summer Wedding and


 rounded off by finally meeting Heidi and Stephanie from Simon Says Stamp.


But the enormous low was losing my Dad
 I didn't realise how much he left a huge hole in my heart and being such a terrible pessimist I worry for both my Mum and Hubbies Mum.
Time to push forward and accept everything that 2015 is about to throw at you.
I do have some new resolutions maybe my first one should be not to be a pessimist but I've had a whole lifetime perfecting it but I will try not to be as bad. ( Pretty much certain this one won't last long)
My second is Christmas Cards I am not going to leave it so late so determined that I'm going to try and join in some Christmas challenges this year so it you thought you were safe from Christmas Cards till the summer hopefully you will be mistaken.
Yes there is a third, 2014 has taken a toll on my weight, although I haven't been able to lose anymore I wasn't putting it on either till this year and I have gained a stone ( it maybe more I haven't weighed myself yet), that needs to be dealt with.
There is also a fourth not to buy as much craft stuff but that just silly having that one, it probably would only last till I see the craft sales!!!!!!!

  9. Your pain in losing your dad is pretty universal, and I hope it will continue to be replaced by warm and wonderful memories only. You have shared so much this past year, and I thank you and have your continued healing in my prayers.

  11. Loved reading about your year Debby... those wonderful highs... and then the loss of your Dad... I lost my Dad in 1980 and my Mum in 1989..... and I still miss them... My Dad never even got to see my daughters born... but that's what comes of being born to older parents. Then I lost my sister 5 years ago.. So I share in your pain and your pessimism.... but like you.... I want to be more POSITIVE in 2015 - so here's to it!!
    Big hugs

    PS... Maybe we'll meet up again this year too! x

  14. Every year I make the resolution about not buying so much craft stuff and I never stick to it LOL!!! I found this challenge - Beat the Christmas Rush (http://miniowner.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/beat-christmas-rush-november-25th.html) kept me on track with my Christmas cardmaking during 2014. Thank you for your lovely inspiration and good luck with keeping to your resolutions. Hope you have a much better 2015 x

  15. Hi, Debby. I read about your dad: so sorry, when I lost mine twenty years ago I felt the same, but please ... think positive.
    About not buying so much craft stuff, I can't say but ...Bah Humbug ;)
    I wish you a better 2015 for you and your family

  23. Happy New Year Debby. It's always hard losing our loved ones, but memories we always keep with us. I have a similar list to do this year. Losing more weight and using old stash. Spending, now that's a bit harder!! Hugs, Carol S.xx

  25. Hi, Debs! How enjoyable reading about all the highs of 2014 for your family. Thank you for sharing them. I'm sorry to hear about your Dad - it's so hard losing a parent, regardless of the age. I was disappointed, too, that my Christmas cards were left to the last minute this year. Normally, the Christmas Challenges keep me on track, but something went ka-flooey this year! I look forward to seeing many more of your creations in 2015. hugs, de

  26. Hi Debby, what lovely memories. Sad you lost your dad but try to remember all the good times you had together if possible Gently hugs.Oh I have also put weight on over x-mas and I'm going on holiday so I can forget to be eating right until we are back. As I haven't got a craft room It's very hard to craft but I can't stop buying craft things so it starting to be tight and messy everywhere. At what age do the son move out ? :-) Take care Maria

  27. Some wonderful high points to your year Debbie, but a heart breaking low! I lost my daddy when he was only 56 years old. This year it will have been 15 years since he left us and I miss him every day still. So I empathise deeply. Big hugs to you and I hope you can feel a little optimism as the New Year settles in. Big hugs, Wends x

  28. That’s not unrealistic, although the unit’s revenues and Ebitda amount to air max pas cher only 18.7% and 25% of the group’s total revenues and Ebitda, respectively. While APL Logistics has shown growth, albeit at a rather slow pace, NOL’s core business needs big operational cost 2015 nike air max pas cher savings and massive investment cuts to stay afloat. What will be left of NOL’s core business once the sale of APL nike air max pas cher Logistics is executed remains a big question that management will have to answer.
