I'm not sure if I'll have time later so I decided to update my poor little old journal that I tend to ignore.
I think that New Year's Eve is a bridge for each and every one of us. We reflect upon the old year and have many hopes and dreams for the new year approaching.
This past year has brought many, many blessings my way. I got a promotion after years of frustration. I met a JLand friend, my dear friend, Penny, and attended an inspirational concert with her. I met many new JLand friends (--->waving to Jackie) with whom I have soooooo much in common with. I also have met even more wonderful friends through my graphics journal. Each and every one of you mean the world to me. I hate to single any one of you out.
To ALL my JLand friends, may you bring the new year in safely. May your dreams come true in 2007. May we each hear the music that plays in our hearts and souls and dance to it. And...may we never give up our hopes, desires and dreams. Every morning that we wake up brings the promise of a new day......
LOL...off topic but yesterday was a good day. My oldest daughter, Becky, came for a visit. We had some wonderful mother/daughter bonding and picture taking. Thought I would share some pictures of my "other" princess.
ROFL...can ya tell I love my new car and, no, I'm not drunk although what a face I'm making.
My Dreamsicle collection is below. They aren't expensive or anything special. The one at the very bottom on the left that is off white is the original which started my collection. My beloved father bought it three weeks before he died in Sept. 1994 and actually wrapped it and made sure my mom knew where he put it. He had no idea that on 9-24-94 he was going to suffer a massive heart attack. He did know that he was the only one who ever bought me a Christmas present at that time. Love you, Daddy! You've made me the person I am today with your unconditional love.
Love & Hugs to All! CHRIS

Hi Chris, it's been so nice meeting you too! I'm hoping this year all your problems will be sorted and you get to enjoy 2007. Talking of hearing music that plays in our hearts, did Steve send you those Average White Band tracks he promised me he would? Jeannette xx http://journals.aol.co.uk/jlocorriere05/Welcometomytravels/

Your dad sounds like an awesome person. And you daughter is lovely as always! Love the pix of you...it is always nice to see the face you hear in your head as you read their lives..Hugs,and GBU, TerryAnn
Hey Jlander, hoping all for you too. I think your dreamsicle collection is awesome. I am afraid to do such things. I can't take care of anything, lol. I would be a wreck. And when you mentioned the last gift your amazing father bought you, I teared up big time.
Your daughter is beautiful. Great photos. Love all that green. You looking all that, in your photo missy. ~Raven
I love the pics of you!! And your girls... so pretty!
be well,
Dawn
