Wow, how good is Holiday Mode?! It's been a fab three weeks!
Very little internet... lots of family & friends time... sewing & cross stitch progress... reading... a bit of sewing planning... even a little gardening, of sorts.
We had Christmas Day with Mum & Dad, & 3 of my 4 brothers plus their families... casual & relaxed Boxing Day with in-laws... New Years with some extra teens in the house. (my kids have great friends)
Lots to smile about♥

I only signed into my blog 3 times, & that was only so I could keep an eye on signups for the Initial Heart Swap... Now I'm looking forward to catching up on everyone's posts - seeing the Christmas-y news & checking out all the swaps action. Golly it will take me a while to do that!
I hope you all had a lovely Festive Season & that you have some wonderful things ahead for you in 2015. I'm so looking forward to continuing my blogland friendships & hopefully making a few new ones along the way♥
♥ ~May Fun & Friendship Be Yours In 2015~ ♥
