Happy Ho Ho!

I just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and the Happiest and Healthiest of New Years!  I'm busily making snow angels in my mom's front yard but will be back in 2012 to share more of my writing and publishing odyssey experiences with you!

See you next year!

I couldn't resist! I'm so thrilled to be having a white Christmas. As my husband said, "I can take 5 days of winter." We'll be back in the sunshine by New Years! I hope you're enjoying the holidays. I can smell the baking from here :)

Snow is wonderful, especially when you don't have to live with it all the time! Have a lovely New Year!
