Happy Holidays!

One rainy November day in Plymouth, UK.


Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a beautiful week to you all!!

Hope you have a wonderful time with friends and family, and sending you lots of love and big hugs.
May peace be your gift at Christmas and your blessing all your through!

This week I am ridiculously busy, and I'm sure you're busy, too, so I figured I'd take a little break from blogging, but looking forward to coming back on January 3rd!

Have a great one! xx

P.S. Holiday Cookie Recipes .

Update: If you are spending Christmas alone- I know you feel like nobody cares. You're wrong. I care, otherwise I wouldn't be posting this. Yes, you are not alone!

    Dearest Betty,

    I am very very late in wishing you happy holidays. Truth be told, I have been away from blogging visits for a few weeks as I worked through the last few weeks of a very challenging term of study.

    I hope you had an absolutely magical Christmas, and I wish you the very very best for the year to come. Happy 2014, and blessings to you. :-)

    Big hugs,
    Nevine

    Llena tu mente de bellos pensamientos y deja que ellos trabajen en tu corazón, pintando un interior de simpatía, para que aflore en el espejo tus ojos la más bonita de las sonrisas.

    Esta frase es una cajita de paz llena de alegría, para despedir el año envuelta con cariño, sellada con una sonrisa y enviada con un beso, para cada uno de mis amigos.

    ¡Brindemos por un 2014 lleno de esperanzas e ilusiones!! Un abrazo y un Chin, Chin...

    Atte.
