The gift of sharing together each day of the year

Rose is a very nice thread!

Well, yesterday we received an ornament in the mail from my dad's cousin that said "The ones we love never truly leave us" written on a seashell in remembrance of my grandma.

What happened in you day?

Hello readreadreadread :) That is such a special ornament and words that were written on it! You and your family will always treasure it and remember your precious grandma when you look at it. Thanks very much for telling us about it.

Hello Rose what a nice thread,thanks for creating it!! But i really would like to know ur day better too as i care for you!! :) Soo missy there is no escape! ;)

Recently i am having blast in my private & simmimg life , eventhough my work life is problamatic but i am still thanking God as i have loved ones and you guys here :))

I am exciting because this year i am going to host an new year party at home, together with my close friends,hopefully if i can mange, we will have a lovely start in 2014. I am a bit stressfull as i am working today full and tomorrow too!! T.T Try to leave office at 5 pm( normally 6.30 pm is my usual time) as i need to do my last minute preparations, and tonite i will cook non stop!! Also one of my close friends lost her grandpa as i will also visit her as consolation :( Donot want to leave her unsupported!

This year i was unable to buy new decorations for tree so i was a bit unhappy abt it then an idea formed in my mind, i am planning to ask all my friends to atteand the party to bring at least one of their decorations(as borrow) ,i think it will create a lovely mood you know, that tree will be decorated by all of us! :) What'cha think?

Also this weekend i had watched/read many tutorials abt CFE,Split Levels and created a modern building :) Used many gifts that i have received by my generous friends :)
Now outside/lanscape is finished,exterior of building is finished, inside walls' paints too! ;) And ystdy finaly i gameproved it and upgraded everything inside and furnished all rooms but unable to complete their re-colouring!! So i feel really accomplished and satisfied :oops:

If i cannot stop by more, happy New Year everyone!!! :)

Your New Years party sounds great duyguugudur :) I am sure that it will go very well and you will have a lovely and special time with your friends and a great start to the New Year. It is such a special idea to have your friends to each bring a decoration for your tree to the party! The tree will look pretty and be a special combination of items from all your friends for everyone to enjoy looking at.
It is caring of you to visit your friend whose grandfather has passed away to support her.
I am glad that your build is going well. I will look forward to seeing the finished home!
May all the preparations for your party go very well ! :)

Hello Rose, what a nice thread :D

Yesterday we went into London. We saw a photographers exhibition in the Science Museum and it was really interesting... Better than Corinne Day I would say, her photos creeped me out ;)I will come back to contribute when I have a better input, too :)

Ah, Rose, you think of the best things!

Yesterday I thought we'd have to work the Christmas lights all night long and it was already freezing when we left the house to turn them on. BUT our volunteers showed up. :D. One woman brought her daughter. They didn't have any gloves or hats and the daughter's leather jacket seemed too thin for those temps. I took off my gloves and offer the liners to the daughter and the shells to her mom. Then I took off my coat and my sweat shirt underneath. We bundled the daughter in my sweatshirt and I wrapped my scarf around her too. She was much warmer as I left. It's nice to be layered! And it's really nice when you can help someone out like that. :D

This was more than a day or two ago, but on Christmas Eve, and again on Christmas day/night, our whole street lined the curbs with luminaries, just little paper bags with snowflake shapes cut out of them and small tea candles lit inside. We live on a cul-de-sac and every house participated. It was so simple, but so beautiful. :wink:

Hello YellowJane :) The photography exhibition sounds interesting. I enjoyed looking at the photos that you took recently of the heirloom watch and posted on your blog. They are great!

That was so very kind of you Ciane! :) The daughter and her Mum would have felt warmed up both on the outside and inside with your care for her.
