So many things have transpired over the last two years. It is hard to believe how time has slipped away so quickly. I suppose that am glad to see the year come to a close and a new one to blossom. It is so easy to feel remorse over the past and to fret about the future.
It is also easy to wish for things to happen on their own. Where are the elves that are supposed to do it for you in the night while you lay in peaceful slumber. I need to find my motivation, my muse. There are so many things I would like to accomplish this year, but in having so many, they build and grow and lead to new and even more exciting ideas. As I mentioned before, I only have the one resolution. It will make it easier for me to stay on task. I think that so as long as I remember to occasionally interrupt the flow of inspiration and innovation I may actually get things done.
Oh, and as my lovely friend Carol said "As I was dreaming of riding through the forest at Jennifers Castle It occured to me that every one should make it a New Years resolution to give generously to the cause."
Happy New Year to all who stopped by for a visit, or who stumbled upon my little place.

Come Dine With the Red Queen, the White Queen and me
I survived the holidays; laughter, tears and all.
My lovely friend Cindy is always looking for signs. Numbers in sets of threes. While stopped at a set of lights, I asked for a sign on Christmas day. Then I noticed the plate on the car ahead of me. The numbers on the plate began with 111. I looked the numbers up. "it is a great sign of a golden opportunity, a "doorway" has opened up in which your intentions and goals will manifest extremely quickly."
I sit now, facing the New Year and all that it will bring. I have thought on what, if any, resolutions I would have for the coming 2009 and decided to have just one. To strive to make my dream of having a castle come true. It may take more an these coming months for it to happen, of course. Although it is a part of it, one can not simply visualize and pray and hope that fortune will present itself. You also have to walk along a path, you have to help things happen.
With the exception of Monday, I have this week off. I am going to organize my ideas, make lists, prioritize, visualize, get a little sewing in, and see where things go from here. If you are in my neck of the woods, please stop by for a tea.

Pig and Pepper
When I awoke this morning, I saw that the grounds were covered in a quite a fall of snow. Travel would not be easy, and the stores would be filled with unhappy shoppers anyway. I decided to work on my planned website for the castle fund. I finished the stylesheet and general look, and put it up for testing. So far the reviews have been good. I will be registering the domain later this week, and up she will go. From the site, I hope to gain awareness of my quest, thank people for their gifts/donations, and a few other things still in the works. Look for a note on Castle Cards coming soon!
I knew it would be a challenge to convince people that I am serious about purchasing a castle. It seems however that those who call me their friend are the first, with the exception of the White Witch of the Beamish, to be naysayers. Come on, you know who you are. You all comment on how I am generous to a fault, going out of my way to help people even at an inconvience to myself. I have not asked for much in return. But if you don't ask, you don't recieve. One dollar, that is all I am asking for. Every dollar counts. It's less than the amount to send me a Christmas Card. It's less than buying me a coffee. Gift me those pennies you don't want to roll. You can probably find it on the floor of your car.
