We Wish You Enough 2017

Every year, my daughter Jess and I decide we are not crafting or making gifts for Christmas… we are just going to buy. Then we get caught in the spirit of the festive season, and alas, without even realising it, we are making Christmas story books and advent calendars with personally made Christmas tree decorations, and even baking cookies and pizza rolls to giveaway. *Smile*

Sometimes, when the dogs chew our special paper that has fallen to the floor by accident, or the cookie baking flops, or we haven’t been able to find the right wire for our beaded stars and they are taking more time than anticipated… in frustration one of us will say, enough… I’m never doing this again… and yet we do… every year for the past seven years. *Grin*

During one of those years, when Jess said enough… because her fingers were sore from working with the wire for the beaded stars… it gave us an idea for a list, inspired by a friend to share as our new year message. *Smile*

Dedicated to my lovely, crafty daughter Jess, who still makes the most beautiful decorations… the best cupcakes and pizza rolls, and inspires me with how beautifully she colours her pictures… and also to anyone who reads this.

As I wrote these… I discovered myself… and you… and my own hopes, dreams and desires for 2017!

We hope that 2017 provides you all that you desire… and more!

Happy New Year 2017
