IT'S ALMOST TIME

IT'S ALMOST HERE...


THAT MAGICAL LAST EVE OF THE YEAR.

Somewhere along the journey,

I began to look at the last day, the last night

of each year

as magical.

Rather like sweeping out the house

and turning around with a renewed spirit..

eager anticipation of good things to come.

That is how I look upon 2010.

Eagerly welcoming the magic that will occur.

Adding to the wonder is the fact

that we will have the second full moon of the month.

a "Blue Moon"

A blue moon occurs every two and half years on average,

(according to NASA)

There hasn't been a month with two full moons since 2007 on June 1 and again on June 30th.

The last time a blue moon fell on Dec. 31 was in 1990.

Research shows me that a blue moon appears on New Years Eve

every 19 years!

The first full moon this month occurred

on Dec. 2.


So, my bloggies, THIS is

a very

special

New Years Eve, indeed.

With that in mind,

I want to host my first GIFT AWAY of the year.

A Laini Taylor, Magical Angel
(She is brand new in the box - from Bottman Designs
I did not make her.)

She hangs a bit over 9" and both sides are the same.




I think she can remind us all year that there IS magic all around

Just leave a comment here

(with your e-mail if you don't have a blog so I can contact the winner easily)

There are no rules or regulations...just leave me a note.

and be sure to pass the word.......the more the merrier as they say.

The name by numbers will be chosen by a computer program

next Thursday evening.

So with that, I wish you all a

wonderful,

magical

New Year.

May all your wishes come true.

Rella
what a gorgeous piece you have created! :)
I hope you have a Happy New Year and may 2010 be blessed with all good things!

Rella said...

Well, so far the number is 7. That is a very lucky number...for me, anyhow :) I see by a post here that I need to go back in and make sure I say I did not make this angel. She is packaged just as she came from Bottman Designs. Brand spanking new and not my creation. ...off I go.
Thank you, my seven dolls, for leaving notes. Tell your friends to stop on by.
