...So this year...

Hey y'all.
How are you today?
I hope everyone is warm, cozy, and happy today.
I am not a new year resolution type of gal.
However there are things that I want to do or change.
One of them are friendships.
I want to be a better friend.
I want to be more kind to the friends I have and I want to stay in touch more.
So to kick off the year I just put a few letters in the mailbox.

I love writing letters. I wish there was a way to make a living doing it.
I get such a good feeling writing a few lines on paper and sending them along.
I hope to write a few every month.
Not a major change but one I want to make.
X's&O's
Jenny

    I feel the same way! I tend be a home body and not really stay in contact with people, even neglected my blog friends for months...
    Have a great day! Hugs.

    This is a great resolution, Jenny! I love to hear that there are still people who like to write and receive actual letters. I wrote so many thank yous this year and it felt good to put into word what people's gifts meant to me. A text message or voice mail is just not going to do it.
    Happy Writing!
    xoxo

    (I'm trying to stop and comment more...I know how much it means to me when folks say Hi! So often it's easy to read someone's blog post and then dash off without letting the blogger know you've stopped by. I'm working on that!)

    I remember I used to have 3-4 pen pals from all over and I would love to write them letters and get ones in return. Letter writing is definitely an art that is fading away.

Woolzies!

Hey Y'all! Sorry to have been away so long again. I won't go into details, but it has been a bit of an adventure here. I think  things are settling down (fingers crossed) So how are ya? I have another give away for ya! A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to try and review a box of Woolzies Dryer Balls. Here is a bit about Woolzies from their website Photo from their Facebook page  Woolzies are pure handmade New Zealand wool dryer balls that soften your laundry naturally without any of the chemicals of conventional fabric softeners. Unlike the plastic dryer balls, they are PVC free and won't fall apart or melt on you. Woolzies save time and energy by cutting down on drying time by an average of 25% per load. They also help reduce static and wrinkles. Use Woolzies to snuggle up with naturally downy soft laundry that's completely free of harmful chemicals.  Woolzies are also hypo-allergenic and totally safe for people with wool sensitivities as...

Merry Christmas Y'all. Yes I say Merry Christmas! I keep Christ in  Christmas because it matters to me. I was at a craft show recently and at one of the booth's I wished the vendor a Merry Christmas, he said Thank You and then said "I don't say anything anymore, you never know what people believe and I don't want to offend anyone" OK I get that, he is a businessman....however;  I replied...."I say Merry Christmas because it is what I believe" he said huh... I have never thought of it that way before... I work for the "worlds largest retailer" and I say Merry Christmas all season long, In all of the 23 years I have worked in retail, no one has ever said "don't say that to me" actually most people are kind of surprised to hear it if I judge by the look on their faces and most reply Merry Christmas to you too. So try it on for size, the next time you are out, wish the people in your path a Merry Christmas, I bet it will make...
