Thank you for being a BEAUTIFUL part of my life.

2010 will surely be a good year in your company Kim, and maybe sweet Maggie can show my Schatzie how to be a "nice"girl.
Hope you New Year is Blessed.

2009 was the year I found Daisy Cottage! I'm not sure I was ready for this year, but I am for 2010. Of course, a little company over the threshold is always nice!
Hope you all have a very Happy New Year, and see you next year.

And I said to the one who stood at the gate of the year, 'Give me a light that I may tread safely into the Unknown.'
And he replied, 'Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.'"

Hi Kim,
I loved your post on Rue's blog. You have such a way with words that are so lovely.
I hope your New Year is very healthy and happy. And full of inspiration, too!
Do you have any projects you are doing at Daisy Cottage in 2010? Just curious. It all looks wonderful to me!
I am re-doing my sewing room to be a guest room/sewing room. So I have to edit some furniture out. I plan to have a yard sale with my neighbor so we can de-clutter in 2010. That is a goal I am going to reach this year!
Looking forward to a wonderful year and visiting your blog every day, Kim.
Thanks, JolieAnne
