First of all, Happy Holidays to those celebrating! Though I haven’t posted of late here, there has been lots going on in my life, both business and personal.

On the biz front, I’ve been doing some work for a few clients through Virtual Genie. I’m also busy re-vamping Celestial Realms which has been on the backburner for some time. Blue Rose Bookstore has been keeping us busy with customer orders and our new custom products available via Zazzle. Feel free to check out our designs – click here!

On the personal front, I’ve been fighting a nasty little cold I caught from my son (who should be getting a place with his buddies soon. yay!). Not to mention fighting it while working up at Disney with hubby. *blech* But we got back home safely and I had a few days in bed to recuperate and rest, watching football and NetFlix movies. I figure another day or two should put me back to full health. Oh! And my torn arm muscle is almost 100% healed so I’ll be getting back to working out. I definitely miss my workouts! And I’ll be tickled pink to lose the pounds I’ve gained in the past few months *groan*. Hopefully, no more injuries will interfere with my weight loss plans which have been so sidetracked.

For a while I was pretty busy with a new neighborhood, the Caribbean, over in AncientWorlds. Something I’ve got to get back to and finish up. Next on the list is designing and finishing the Boriken hood. ImagineDome is still providing fantasy lit info as I can get around to posting it.

Our old car about bit the dust, so we had to spend lots of time looking for a replacement. So far, we’re very happy with our Suzuki XL-7!

The holiday madness hasn’t hit too badly here, but then most of the family isn’t located nearby. Our baby Christmas tree is up, new wreath made from Michael’s items is out front, purple lights up outside around the front door, and a few decorations around the house. Not too much, but enough to spur a bit of the old holiday feeling.

Lastly, I hope to get back to my writing and finishing my cross-stitch project now that things are pretty much set for the holidays and I’m caught up from being out of town. As always, there’s something going on or planned for the near future to keep me busy and creative. *grin*

Enjoy the holidays, spread joy, share love….and be at peace within!
