♥ CHRISTMAS GREETINGS TO ALL ♥

I was really interested to read all your thoughtful comments on my previous post - thank you
**********************
With less than a week to go this is my final post until after Christmas - may you all have a wonderful and joyous festive season wherever you are and whatever your plans may be.
When I first began blogging just over two years ago, I never imagined that I would experience and feel such a strong connection to the many friends made here in this space. I have been profoundly touched by so many of you during this past year - sharing in your pleasures and happiness, but also your sorrows and grief. I have been moved in ways that I never would have expected. For several of you 2013 has been a year of great sadness - some of you have been ill or are coping with illness within the family, and a few have suffered the terrible loss of a loved one; your courage and strength fills me with admiration - a salutary example to many of us.

    I hope your Christmas is a peaceful and happy one, Rosemary. I love the cards. Did you create them? If so I would guess you are a professional artist - I specially like the one with the trees.

    Wonderful words Rosemary, I also had no idea I would make so many wonderful connections two years ago. Your blog is a wonderful inspiration.
    Your silhouette designs reminded me of the work of Jan Pienkowski. I am very fond of his magical collaborations with Joan Aiken.
    Wishing you a beautiful Christmas and New year. I hope your family member didn't have to endure too rough a crossing today. Paul x

    Thank you for this beautiful post dear Rosemary, thought provoking words and lovely festive images.
    Blogging has opened up a whole new world to many of us with new friendships formed with like minded souls all over the globe.
    There have been ups and downs for several of my blogging friends too and I have felt their pain in a way I would not have thought possible, of someone I have not met personally. Sorry a bit muddled, it's late and my brain is tired after a long day...

    Our Christmas Day is almost over in New Zealand, we have just spoken to our daughter and her family in France and theirs is just beginning....
    Thank you for your friendship this year Rosemary - Christmas greetings to you and your family!
    Big Christmas hugs
    Shane
