2014, it’s here.
I wish you the bestest of the most wonderful goodnesses, now and always.
Truly.
Let’s make it a happy, colorful, lovely new year!
I don’t make resolutions I can’t keep.
I live for the now as much as I can, and what dreams may come.
I try to get anything bad away from me as quickly as possible.
And I try to cherish every single day.
The little things.
As the new year comes I am also celebrating a blogiversary.
I started blogging at the end of December in 2006.
And I thought I was a commitmentphobe?
🙂
I look forward to many more tales and bundles of fun.
Adventures of what is to come….
I wish you the deepest desires of your heart.
And many many come trues!!

The music is gathering in Fanciful, Arizona as I type…
Right outside the lil’ cottage.
I hear Lime in the Coconut so I have to run out there asap!
But I wanted to share a little 2013 recap…
I never to rarely read old blog posts I write.
Which means I never do a recap of a year.
But today I picked some photo memories out of each month of 2013.
No words, just photos.
With a link to each month.
It was fun to see.
There were so many, it was hard to choose a few.
Thank you for being a huge part of it!
Cheeeers!
Here we go, a year in pics…
(if you’d like to see the entire month, just click on the month and year link at the beginnings)
It’s a bit crazy cakes long, I warn.
Would you like to keep looking?
Click the link below…
(planning for a new spring garden with memories of 2012 sunflowers)
Lots of love from all of us real, imagined, furry and all around mad characters over here at AFT!!
Let’s go forward with dreams of extra spectacular times come true!
Extra spectacular meaning anything from deliciously cozy with a good book, or major dreams coming true.
The best nap ever, or winning the lottery.
A hearty belly laugh, or falling in love.
Extra spectacular has a wide, wide, range.
Let’s plunge!
Happiest New Year Wishes!!
Love,
Matty, Miles, Mister Love and meee!

happy new year vanessa!!!

Oh! My!
Such blissful photos! Some made me laugh and giggle, and some made me sigh because the photos are so heavenly.
What a year we had, didn’t we??? My…surprises around every corner, unknowns too, but we came through with flying colors!!!
I feel the sun shining through our backdoor window panes and the warmth feels so good. (But we do need rain desperately! I hope it rains soon!)
Another year that flew by in the blink of an eyelash. Your photos were kind of like one of those flip through picture images where it is always changing, showing the days going by in a flash.
May you have rosy days and pure white, puffy cloud-type dreamy days ahead full of creativity and blissful happenings.
XO

Thank you for the lovely recap! Wow, that’s a lot of photos!
I especially like the warm, sunny, garden ones! Pretending I am there instead of here waiting for the foot of snow & cold that’s coming!

And continued good health, and peace on earth. I’m dreamin’ big!

There were so many photos to go through, half way through I lost my post

You’ve had an amazing year my friend! Happy New year! If you get a chance, would you write and let me know how you search on your blog? I wanted to find your recipe for Quiche and I think it used buttermilk instead of cream! Thanks! Hugs, Diane

I don’t make resolutions. If I want to do something- I do it. If I don’t do it then I guess I really didn’t want it that bad.
It’s better that way, no guilt.
I an insane to get inside that egg of yours and hang out with the mushrooms. (Is it merengue?)
Happy New Year to you and M. Lovee and all the Furbies!!
Loved strolling through your photos!!
May 2014 the the very best yet!
Love,
Constance
