Happy New Year


Welcome 2020 everyone. 
As I write this some of you are there already and some, like me, have not quite made it to the new year yet.  But it won't be long before the morning and the new year arrives for all of us.
It is time for new stories to be written, new art to be created, new books to be read, new places to visit...I am sure you get my point. It's exciting, and also a little scary. But I am going to put the little bit scary part aside because one must stay focused on the good possibilities. It is all part of the adventure of the new year. I am optimistic about 2020 as there are many good things ahead.
And I hope not just for me but also for you.
Wishing you all a wonderful year with lots of happiness, smiles, good health and peace. 

And since I see that Jo has a new challenge at Art Journal Journey, Something New, I thought this page for the new year would work and I am linking up.
Once again, happy 2020!

    Wishing you the very best of years Dear Erika. Strange how a blog can bring friendship and I feel a certain friendship to you via your blog - and all through Art Journal Journey.
    I love your latest blog page, those words are delightful
    "Winter white and fires bright Keep thee in God's Grace tonight" - the perfect ;message to send.
    May God Bless you and yours and may you have a wonderful, happy year.
    Hugs, Neet xx

    I love the combination of light and shadows on this page, just right for the turning of the year. I hope we can leave some of the shadows of 2019 behind, but my guess is we're going to need to continue working to create light as we go forwards into 2020. I'm still in Christmas hibernation (don't come out fully until after 12th Night on 6th January!), but am trying to do a bit of catching up with people even so. Happy New Year!

    It's a bit like turning a page in a mystery, isn't it, the new year. Something is coming, we don't know what -- we don't even know who all the characters will be. But we can't put the book down, even though at times we may want to!

    Happy New Year, my friend. I had a lovely little surprise in my mail yesterday and it is quite beautiful! I loved it!

    What an absolutely JOYOUS post, dear Erika. Yes, the new year is a bit scary, but definitely exciting and filled with hope and all kinds of possibilities. As we look ahead to 2020, I see all kinds of great things happening, and I SO look forward to sharing them with you, too, dear. Happy New Year to you, your family, and your two fur babies.
