It's been an awesome year. When I was a kid, I never understood when the "old folks" said that as you get older, time slips away before you know it. I understand fully now because I can't figure out how I happened to land on December 31, 2011 so quickly. I blinked and the year was gone. For this end of year post, I thought I'd leave you with a few pictures of how we laughed our year to a close. I hope they give you a smile too.
Oh! And the "thank you" I mentioned in the title. This year I took part in the Long and Short Reviews: Stuff Your Stocking Blogfest. Commenters were entered to win an advanced reading copy of ETERNITY'S MARK.
http://lasrguest.blogspot.com/2011/12/stuff-your-stocking-blogfest-maeve.html If you happen to leave a comment on this post - I'll add your name to the pot. I'll draw the winner's name tonight right before 2012 makes its grand appearance.
Happy New Year, my friends. May 2012 be filled with good things for us all and the strength to defeat anything bad that might decide to nip at our heels.
Blessings to all,
Maeve

LOL! I'm not sure where my daughters found those ears, Joe. They're both pretty talented when it comes to finding items that'll cause a giggle. :-)

Looks like great fun. My oldest son would have loved a Thundercats sword.
ReplyDeleteWe had a ball, Susan! My youngest daughter has been a Thundercats fan since they first came out when she was five years old. She's now thirty and I don't think her love for them has diminished one bit. :-)
