I know you had a very special year and it was well deserved. <br /><br />I love all of the lovely gifts you received...one prettier than the next. <br /><br />I guess a special moment was starting our blog in April. I can still remember being so scared to press publish but so glad I did. We have met so many wonderful people and it has been such a positive experience. <br /><br />I look forward to 2018' and reading more of your posts and enjoying all of your lovely stitching.

The highlight of our year was celebrating our 45th anniversary with a trip to Italy spending over a week driving and wine tasting...but not together...through Tuscany and up to Lake Como. We then boarded a ship and spent the next 15 days sai!ing back to the United States...stopping in Barce!ona, Malaga, Cartegena, and the Canary Islands. Loved it so much we booked again for next year!!

You must have been over the moon with everything you received.<br /><br />I still love the blogging world very much, it's such a friendly and inspiring community. Lately I was taking a tour on Instagram and saw so many accounts from former bloggers that I miss dearly. Maybe this will be the year for me to join IG as well. And when you say that it's not time-consuming at all it should be good for me as well. I just have to see if I can handle the start :))<br /><br />I loved to read about your favorite moment of the year. In my life it would also be a moment with my children. Like you I'm overly proud of them and of how they lead and master their lives.<br /><br />Have a good 2018!Brigittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922122091202289138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-83985941724355591232018-01-05T19:59:10.347-05:002018-01-05T19:59:10.347-05:00I always enjoy your posts.

I haven’t been very good at reading blogs for the last little while but I’m attempting to get back to it a bit and honestly, your blog is just about my favorite. Your blog is really a joy to read and all of your stitching is so Amazing. I truly love everything you stitch -you are an inspiration, Your Christmas tree is so beautiful! It is just stunning! Thank you so much for sharing those beautiful picture with the rest of us.<br /><br />I also wanted to thank you and send you my most heartfelt Congratulations on your retirement, your son’s wedding to his beautiful bride, your 40th wedding anniversary and the lovely photos of your trip to Hawaii. You have had a very busy, amazing and wonderful past year and I wish you much joy and happiness this coming year.

Carol...getting to know you a bit through your blog has warmed my heart this year. Seriously, you are amazing and really you could write a book with your creative thoughts and words.<br /> Probably the highlight of my year was my son's response to the album I made (birth through high school) for his 50th birthday. I didn't think he would say anything negative, but he was overwhelmingly appreciative and thankful for the album. The experience was wonderful because I wasn't sure if he would be a little blasé about the whole thing. Instead, he said "Mom, this is GOLD!"<br />Thanks again, Carol for sharing your life and showing so much genuine interest in others.<br />Hugs, SusanSusan Lankfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04085899925302189110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-54956567634544771512018-01-03T19:26:34.390-05:002018-01-03T19:26:34.390-05:00Carol,

I have enjoyed your Instagram so much this year, now I will check in on your blog also. <br />I have two great memories this year. The first one was flying to visit my sister and brother in law in August. My brother in law had an accident in May and was recovering from severe trauma to his brain. He had been in a coma for weeks. It was wonderful to see how he had improved! He was walking and talking and knew who I was. What a thrill to see our prayers had been answered! The other memory is the day last September that we adopted our rescue dog Maggie. I knew when we saw her and visited with her that we had to bring her home.<br />Happy New Year! I look forward to reading your blog and seeing your photos on Instagram.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16371959579187992796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-37002480496679266042018-01-03T14:21:20.681-05:002018-01-03T14:21:20.681-05:00What a lovely post Carol.

But yes, when my daughter attended my cousin's weddding in a traditional saree, she looked beautiful although she still played with her teenage cousins like any other kid:) She still enjoys sitting on her parents lap and getting hugs and kisses from us. Seeing that she is growing fast, it makes us emotional that, one day, we both husband-wife will be alone once she gets married.Preetihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14719450107640709790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-55218510931409528862018-01-01T20:17:43.021-05:002018-01-01T20:17:43.021-05:00So many wonderful gifts, Carol!

All local schools had been included and he had picked her design from all the entries. The cards were printed and sent out to all he sends cards to, she even thought a copy was to go to the Queen with her name, age and school printed inside as the winner and designer ... she was so excited and her pic was even in the local newspaper.<br />Blessings to you and the family for 2018, wishing you lots of fun and happy times ahead in the new year.<br />much love xJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863899802782756191noreply@blogger.com
