happy new year. . at last!

wishing a wonderful happy new year to you all!
(i eventually made it onto my blog)
the snow and the cold has kept us busy
exploring & exclaiming
then the thaw and the greenery uncovered
and more exploring & inspecting to be done
we have cuddled sleepily round pinecone fires
melted the last of the christmas candles
and eaten the last of the festive food
and we have been making plans...
setting new ventures for this new year
i have re-drafted & updated my business plan
and now have projects to finish & targets to reach.
I shall share them here very soon.
i am feeling nervous & apprehensive,
but so excited and raring to go!
* * *
i shall catch up with you when i can x

    Gorgeous photos, and beautiful calligraphy Ruthie, wonderful to see you back, and can't wait to hear all your exciting plans. I think I need to do the same, a little planning and goal setting, but I'm such a bumbler through life it doesn't come naturally to plan anything much!

    Hi Ruthie, happy new year! I feel as though the year's been slow at getting started, maybe it's the snow delaying things? It's mostly gone this morning so today is a day of getting down to work ;) Your plans sound very exciting, I can't wait to hear what you have in mind!x

    Found you through another blogger's favorites. I know why. I love finding artists's blogs. Your pictures inspire me to write with the love of word artistry more in the front of my mind. I think your site is marvelous...full of images that bring that half smile when you are taken to another place. THANK YOU>
