Happy New Year

Happy new year to all my digiscrap friends! Thanks to all those of you who have been sticking around with me for a while, and welcome to anyone who just recently found out about mistyhilltops.com. While this year is going to be extremely busy with my studies etc. (especially probably toward the latter half of it anyway), I do have a couple of fun posts lined up already aside from planning a new winter freebie kit and sharing lots of inspiration.

And of course, I can’t wait for my new blog to be up and running (only waiting for that busy sister of mine to help me with a couple of little tweaks). Sooo … I hope you’ll be checking in every once in a while, and to all of you I wish that 2013 will be a successful year to be looked back to with pleasure.

Journaling Café: Year's End

Whaa, the end of the year has snuck up on me without even giving me much time to think about it. So, it’s about time to do some end-of-the-year reflections. I find that thinking about the good and the bad of the past year helps in formulating those new resolutions at the beginning of each year which can give our lives purpose and direction. I, therefore, present to you the last journaling prompt of 2012:

And here’s my page, showing some of the highlights this past year:

Now, I’m going to leave you with my best wishes for the new year, which is around the corner, and as always: happy Friday, scrappers!

The Gingerbread House Aftermath

Do you see this … >

???

It’s all that’s left of our poor gingerbread house. Or, well, in fact, it’s actually less than that. But what are gingerbread houses for, eh? Right? Anyhow. This being my first ever really-made-from-scratch gingerbread house, I was actually pleasantly surprised to find it didn’t taste all too poor. All that sugar-coating had quite taken over any spicy after-taste that might have been left from the gingerbread when I first tasted it. And our friends never minded anyways. They had a blast, ripping apart what we had put together in so many hours, and eating away the candy and the sugar.

Talking of “candy and sugar” … by the way, did you know that in Chinese they are one and the same? No wonder, my students keep talking about how they eat sugar, when – in fact – they mean candy. And it is left to me to figure out how much of a sweet tooth they really are!

On that note … I’m going to be out for the weekend, so talk to you in the new year!

I hope you all had a wonderful and restful couple of Christmas days. I sure did enjoy my time with my friends this year. And since the Christmas season is drawing to an end, today I’m going to share my last installment of Christmas cards for this year.
