Good-bye 2012....Welcome 2013!

It seems like only yesterday that we were saying good-bye to 2011.  Now, with the blink of an eye, we are welcoming 2013!

  Once again, it has been a very busy and blessed year for our family.  We are so very thankful for all that we have and our circle of family and friends.

As we leave 2012 behind, I am sharing my very last project for the year.  This layout is one I have wanted to do for the past few months and finally made the time to complete.

I took the photo while spending time with our grandchildren this past August.  We were taking an afternoon walk for some fresh air and to go exploring.  As we were making our way down the driveway, our grandson reached down and took our granddaughter's hand just as she reached for his.  It was a moment that will be forever in my heart! 

The Basic Grey "Soleil" Paper Collection was a perfect choice.  The colors were a match with the photo and the arrows, signs, and other embellishments worked well with the theme of the layout.

How awesome is this quote?

Some more fun embellishing to follow the theme of the layout.

So, as we say good-bye to 2012, I am wishing everyone a happy, healthy  and prosperous New Year.

New is the year, new are the hopes and the aspirations,
New is the resolution, new are the spirits and
Forever my warm wishes are for you.
Have a promising and fulfilling new year.
