Well it's close to Wayne arriving home for his bit of holiday and this will probably be the last full post except little sneaks that I get on before Christmas next week.
Before I get to something I want to share with you all- just some STORE NEWS and goodies ;-) Bare with me- there's something at the end of this post for you- promise!
MY WHOLE STORE IS ON SALE at 45% off
So if there were something's you were looking for to create some Christmas goodies- I'd grab them now ;-)
Both at Digiscrap Obsession and Digi ScrapVAult.
Jazzy has this BRAND NEW set of WORD ARTS up in her store- and they are 20% off at the moment. They match my A FRESH START KIT and are perfect for those NEW YEAR cards and LO's.
Check the LO's she made with them-
STUNNING JAZZY!
And some personal rambling from me as we reach the end of 2009 ;-)
This year hasn't been the easiest on this side of the world- goodness I think the whole world felt the recession this year. Yet one simple little sentence this morning from Bunny got me thinking (yeah that happens sometimes- hahahaha) and I would like to share it with you. * look on the positive side Kimmers*, and the funny thing is I ALWAYS DO! But somehow this year a little bit of *mud* covered it up for me. Today I rubbed the mud out of my eyes and sat thinking of my BLESSINGS! At this time of the year I think it is something we can all do ;-)
I am BLESSED to have a wonderful husband who loves me for ME, who is my best friend and the most fantastic father anyone could ask for.
I am BLESSED with a teenage son who is responsible and has a head on his shoulders and his feet on the ground.
I am BLESSED to have a sister Gaye with whom I share not only blood and heart , but also the love of creating and art.
I am BLESSED to have a little sister Kerry, who at this moment in time is PREGNANT! WOOT! I'm going to be an aunty next year to a little baby boy!
I am BLESSED to have my parents and in-laws alive and well and who all still share in my life and that of our family on a daily basis.
I am BLESSED with good friends who are true and love me for who I am and not what I own. Who understand me sometimes better than I understand myself. For the BEST friends I have that I haven't ever met in person yet but who I love dearly!
I am BLESSED to have a roof over my head, food on the table and clothes on my back!
I am BLESSED to have the best job in the world.
I am BLESSED to have met friends via this blog and through our love of scrapping, who mean more to me than just a *name*.
I am BLESSED to have a wonderful Creative Team - all of whom form such a great part of my daily life, be it a good laugh, a wonderful creation, the constant support. I LOVE THEM ALL!
But most of all- I am BLESSED that you are sitting here and taking the time to read this, for reading all my ramblings during the year and sharing my thoughts and story's, for your constant support and friendship. YUP_ I am more than Blessed!
So I would like to share this little mini kit with you-
Thank YOU for your wonderful support ALWAYS and for blessing me with your hearts and friendships.
I wish you all a VERY BLESSED CHRISTMAS and an even Better and Brighter 2010!
Much LOVE. Kim

I read the other comments and every witty, sappy thing I would have said has already been used. I am very honored to call you one of my cyberfriends even if we don't exchange deep stuff daily. My blessings include having you share with me as you do.
Aaaaah! Kim, and we are so blessed to have you in our hearts. You were one of the first digi scrap blogs I found on the net and then just over a year ago I was blessed with becoming part of your CT, this past year has been wonderful, I truly have enjoyed creating hybrids wth your fabulous kits and feel blessed to be creating something crafty for you in 2010.
many hugs to you Kim xxx
oh... your blessed part is so touching but true. We are all closer to those we are free to share many things with, and that freeness comes from not having met I think. Wonderful it is.
Happy Holidays to you and your family. And thanks for the lovely mini kit.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful creation. I am definitely thankful for my blessings and look forward to using your kit to share these with those I love.
Girl you mean more to me than you will ever know. I love your bubbly upbeat personality, for it has pulled me through so many days, I love how you can turn any story into a laugh for me and for that I love you!!! You are so important to me on a daily basis and it's so hard to explain that to people who don't blog or meet peeps online. You are one of a kind and one of the best people I could ever have as a friend (even tho we have never met "in person" I feel I know you better than those I have met) You rock and thank you Kim for allowing me to be a part of your online life!!!

Hey Kim...great post! Can't tell you how blessed I've been by you!!
I'm glad I was able to give you a giggle now and then through the year.
You gave me more than you know so we're not even quits yet.
Thanks for all the fantastic stuff you've made this year too. You never cease to amaze me with your talent and generosity.
There's only one problem...you don't live in Australia. I think I've said it before, if you did, I would say you are a 'true blue Aussie'...and hey, I just don't know what the S.A. equivalent is! Whatever it is...you're definitely it!! LOL.
Have a joyous Christmas with your loved ones - and be blessed!!
Love you, my friend.
Esther
LOL! Honestly, I've always felt that you knew / counted your blessings. It's evident in your attitude and the things that you write here (which is why I enjoy reading).
