WOO HOO!!! Wow I feel like a lucky woman this year, such a beautiful year 2012 has turned out to be!! My ornament swap gift came in the mail today, just in time for Christmas!! Erin over at Keep Calm and Sparkle knew just the perfect ornaments to send this equally owl obsessed chick!
Aren't they gorgeous!! She sent them in the cutest owl box too...oh and she wrapped the package in Christmas wrapping paper!! I'm so in love with them and now I think I'll sign up next year to join the ornament swap again! Thanks to Steph at The Vintage Modern Wife and Laura from The Luckiest in Love for hosting the 2012 Blogger Ornament Swap!
A Very Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year!
I hope everyone has an amazing holiday and a VERY Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! May we inspire others and help those who need it when we can. May the spirits of the 26 Newtown, CT. angels live on and move us to be a better country. May you and your family enjoy the holiday with each other and not worry about the gifts under the tree, but rather enjoy the gift of life, of each other.
Happy Holidays!
My new favorite owl mug...my only owl mug...so far!!
We can't keep allowing for this to happen in our schools and I don't believe gun control is the answer. A few weeks before the tragedy in Newtown, CT. two guys were arguing on the train in Philadelphia about a Sixers VS. Bulls game and when the Sixers fans got off they turned around and opened fire into the train...OVER A BASKETBALL GAME?!!! So I believe I have the right to bare arms and protect myself against people like this, against people who might hurt me or my family. Yes, perhaps we need stronger background checks, or maybe check to see what kind of people are living in the same home as the gun owners, but we also need to arm our schools. This is happening too often in a place that is supposed to be safe for our children, so why aren't we hiring armed security to stand tall at EACH and EVERY School in America?? If someone was there, if there was an armed guard there, this tragedy may not have happened. We arm our malls, so why not arm our schools where our children are for most of the day? Taking guns away from the right people is not the answer because the bad guys will always find a way to illegally have weapons of any kind whether it's a gun, a knife, a bat, etc. Stand tall and fight for the 26 lives that were horribly taken away from their families.
All my love to the families in Newtown, CT and to all those who have been hurt by someone who took your loved one away from you.
