Happy St. Patrick's Day

May there always be work for your hands to do,
May your purse always hold a coin or two,
May the sun always shine on your windowpane,
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain,
May the hand of a friend always be near you,
All the luck o' the Irish I'm happy to send you,
With a wish that good fortune & joy may attend you!

Have a Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Gearing up for a New Year!

It's hard to believe that another year has just flown right by us!  It seems like only yesterday that I was taking Holiday portraits and printing 2009 calendars.

My resolution for 2010 is to commit to my own blog.  I spend so much of my spare time (does that really exist?) surfing around everyone else's musings that I thought it was time to contribute my own ramblings to the mix.  I plan on chatting about my work, my life, my friends and anything else which pops up along the way.

I hope you enjoy and come back often for a "visit".

To try to get into the Holiday spirit last night, I went out an purchased a new poinsettia (which I am guaranteed to kill within 3 weeks) to liven up my dining room.  I couldn't resist taking a few frames to preserve it's elegant beauty.

There is something which just makes me smile about these gorgeous red leaves.  Every year I head out and purchase at least one with the intention of keeping it a whole year to see if the leaves will transform themselves in time for Christmas.  It hasn't happened yet..... but you never know...this might just be the year!

Have a lovely weekend everyone one!

If you're out and about celebrating... please remember not to drink and drive... it's just not worth it.
