Happy New Year!

[przed]

This holiday season has been busier than usual, what with visiting family, and family members visiting us, and keeping a little girl amused and in Clementine oranges. But I wanted to take a moment to wish everyone on the flist a happy and healthy new year. I hope you all accomplish what you'd like and find as much joy as possible.

Had to share this pic of our street as it looked this afternoon. We got hit by a small snowstorm today. Nothing too serious, just enough to make our neighbourhood look like a Christmas card:


We're hoping to watch Wilby Wonderful with my visiting sister-in-law this evening, but I am hoping to get a "things wot I done this year" post up later tonight. On the off chance I don't manage it, here are the links to my two final stories of the year:

Home for the Holidays was written for the discoveredinalj Discovered in the Brandy Butter challenge. It's another in my Comfort and Joy series, though a little darker than the rest of those tales have been.

The Starlight Affair, as was just revealed today, was my contribution to the muncle Down the Chimney story exchange. I drew renn as my recipient, and after I recovered from the crazy prompts (The Grinch?! Artificial starlight?! Sparkling wine vs. champagne?!) I wrote this little tale of April and Illya battling a rather frightening enemy.

And just for fun, here's one last picture...
...Rosalind conquering the aforementioned Clementines on New Year's Eve

Rosalind looks very happy with herself ... look at what I've got :)

You could make your own personal Christmas Card with your street picture ... we are very humid here ... thanks for cooling me down.

Happy New Year.

She was very pleased with the Clementines. All the kids at the party decided they were the most interesting thing in the house and were carrying them around.

We got a nasty cold snap today. Humid sounds lovely. *g*
