Happy Holidays To All!!
Borrowed from Justine Eclectic Odds N Sods Love this photo!!
Tomorrow will be very busy cooking and cleaning, well today is also but I wanted to take this opportunity, before I go into overdrive, to wish you all a Happy Holiday, Merry Christmas whatever you choose to celebrate or not celebrate. I hope you all have a wonderful day!
I am thankful for all of you, your friendship and understanding and support over what has been a very tough year for me. Thank you so much!
It’s always good to reflect on how much we have to be thankful for, especially during the holidays. I have my job which I love (most of the time), my family, my friends and this blog which started 4 years ago in January (yep my annivarsary is coming up), it is a source of great joy for me and has introduced me to some of the most amazing people, cooks, authors, DIY and crafters that I consider friends.
I have a very special blog post scheduled for my anniversary and am very excited about it. Also, I am co hosting (with 3 other lovely ladies) a very special Fiesta Friday, it’s #100 and I look forward to the party and recipes.
Have a wondeful Holiday one and all!!

Teagan my dear, I do hope your Christmas is wonderful. You are one of my dear friends and I wish you all the best, much success and happiness in 2016.
That is mutual, Suzanne. I am so happy to know you. Having you as a friend is a joy and a privilege. It’s been a rough year for both of us; for many people. I’m not the only one you’ve helped make it through some dark days.
So, my friend, here’s a Christmas toast to sunny days, peaceful dreams, and all good things. Happy holiday hugs.
Wishing you sweet memories as you create new ones. Maddie is waiting for an offer from MMC in NYC. Will let you know. She wants to be there even though she received an amazing offer from the Dallas Morning News. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Love from us all? Sent from my iPhone

Merry Christmas Suzanne! I am anxious to see what you come up with for your anniversary! 4 years? That’s awesome! You are right about meeting so many wonderful people! That was a benefit that I sure never expected but sure enjoy.
I looked back at my first post, it was a few sentences, hesitant, scared not knowing what to expect who would have known that an entire world of wonderful people were there doing the same thing and we would form friendships through out blogs. I love it. Merry Christmas Julie.
Thank you Suzanne! I remember that it took me days to hit publish! My photos are still up because I haven’t redone them. Merry Christmas to you too!

Hey Suzanne– Liked that you said your blog was a joy to you– a lot of that joy in your cooking, and collaborating with friends who cook, comes through. My favorite photo was the one of you sitting at your laptop. Now can imagine you there sending out your writing to us all. Hope your Christmas was a warm and wonderful time with friends and family around your table… xo
It is a joy, thank ou Rhonda. I also love that photo of me with my Nando. That is how I worked almost all the time with him in my lap. I miss him so desperately. Christmas was very nice, had friends over and we had a very nice time. I saw the photo’s of your Christmas and it looked heavenly. Thank you Rhonda, I am so happy to know you.
Happy cooking ahead Suzanne– waiting to see what you come up with in 2016!
And you as well!!
