~ That Was the Year That Was ~


That was the year that was.
It's over. Let it go.
Oh what a year that was.
Whatever life may bring you.
T'will be over before you know.
So that was the year that was.
It's over. Let it fly.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to ALL my followers, friends and fellow bloggers.
Thank-you for all your support in 2010. What an amazing year.
Please take care and let's get excited about 2011.
New faces, new friends, new beginnings but above all love & laughter.
Simone

    Hi Simone, Congratulations on a big year. The AWW shoot must have been a highlight. Our beach house is being published in the Feb edition of Home Beautiful, so it's out in January. No doubt you're gorgeous cushions will be front and centre. Amber

    LOVE that photo. Just simply makes you happy. That poem is very nice as well. Did you write it or did you find it somewhere?

    I just stumbled across your blog for the first time and thought I would say hello! I looked through a few of your posts and love your style.

    I'm a blogger as well, about the world of art, but my history is in interior design and fashion. I love to hear what people are saying! Hope we get to see more of each other in the future.
