Happy New Year! I must say that saying goodbye to 2012 was easy for me to do this year. We had so many health problems, surgeries, and scares this past year that I hope 2013 will bring many blessings instead. I always love getting a clean start with a brand new year.
One of my (many) goals this year is to get more situated in our home. We bought it January 2010, moved in six weeks later after gutting it. I didn’t even have kitchen counters when we moved in. It has taken some time to get anything done (hubby had two knee surgeries during this time) and I want things to finally feel situated. Painting, more landscaping, and purging – I think everyone feels this way in January after all the Christmas decorations are down.
My first little piece of art to share for 2013…this canvas was made using an old cabinet photo. I love the sweet face and crisp image. I added old vintage laces, buttons, and a vintage rhinestone pin.
I wanted to also share these beautiful pieces of art that arrived before Christmas from Dorthe Hansen. I was tickled to receive them in the mail and the details are so special. Thank you Dorthe!
Looking forward to continued friendship, art, and inspiration from all of you in 2013. May 2013 bring many blessings, good health and a happier world.
Happy New Year, Nancy. I hope you and your family enjoy good health and happiness in 2013.
I love your canvas. Such a sweet image and the vintage lace is to die for.

Oh my, your “Friend of my Heart” is just precious. Absolutely love it.
Aren’t you supposed to buy, gut, remodel, and then move in????? I had a kitchen makeover years ago, but…that meant no cooking in the kitchen for a couple of days!!!
And that was the ONLY thing we had torn apart. Hope for your sake you can get all those things done this year. Health problems and knee surgeries can certainly get in the way of things!!!!!
Dorthe’s sweet gifts must have been a real treat to open.
My dear Miss Nancy,
I wish you a Happy and Healthy 2013.
May all your wishes com true.
xoxo
P.S. All your work is a dream. Thanks for your wonderful creativity.

Hi Nancy,
Awesome as always! I will put the graphic on my blog! I can’t wait!
Hope the New Year brings good health and more for you and your family!
Hugs from me! PS- the K-3 black kittens are getting so big! They all chirp at us and we are happy having them- though they tend to get into everything so I had to move a lot of breakables. They are a blessing for us- my house is never quiet now.

Yes I noticed that more stuff needs to get done in our house as well- now that it’s Christmas decoration-free. Is it still snowing like crazy over there? All the best to you this year!
