Morning Meanderings… WHA? Where did 2011 go???

Published on by Sheila (Book Journey)

Good morning!  Happy After Christmas!  (Really though… isn’t it?)  I mean the rush is over….  no more shopping for that (hopefully) perfect gift.  The parties, the gift exchanges, the food (oh – dont get me started on the food…. “Hello gym membership?”  :razz:)

I for one am happy to be basking in the aftermath… enjoying a snow free (SSQQQQUUUEEE!!!!) winter so far here in Central Minnesota, enjoying the down time of the season and some good reading time.  😀

Besides my lovely Cricut and cartridges from my hubby, I also received an assortment of gift cards to some of my favorite stores.  I have a lovely coffee mug from Caribou Coffee, a gorgeous engraved wine stopper, a beautiful friendship sign, gloves, a book safe, and of course…

books.

My College son plucked a couple titles off my wish list on this blog and under the tree I found this:

 

I have so much to do these last few days of 2011… my year in review post will go up with week (it has been a good reading year!)  Recap of the challenges… the good, the bad, the ugh…. the two challenges I am hosting as well as….

a fun third one too 😀  Hint… it will work well with Mari at a Bookworm With A View‘s new weekly Checkpoint.  😀

  1. Yes, so many loose ends to tie up…I started doing challenge wrap-up posts yesterday…and today I created my Favorite Books of 2011 page (at Curl up and Read).

    I like that this year I chose to put challenges and many bookish events, like Books Read, Books Purchased, etc…..on the one blog.

    Much easier…

    And yes, I can’t believe the year is almost over! I’m a little nervous when a new year begins….so many possibilities!

  2. I am so glad Christmas is over. Today I have packed away all my Christmas CD’s and movies. Ornaments can wait another couple of days, and a new bookyear awaits:-)

  4. It seems like yesterday i was saying, “I can’t believe it’s summer already”. Yow! At least this year was better than last year and hopefully next year will be better still. Happy New Year, Sheila!

  7. I just looked over all my challenges for 2011 getting ready to do a wrap up post. I did not do as bad as I thought. I hope to get a book or two read this week.

  8. Neat gifts!! I want to read Seriously…I’m Kidding. Ellen is hilarious!

    I did awful on challenges in 2011. I’m going to make 2012 challenges a priority.

    I know you’re hosting the Where Are You reading challenge, but can’t think of the other one. Did I somehow miss that post? Can’t wait to see what the third is!!

  11. Wait….2011 is almost over??? 😮

    Hope you enjoy The Future of Us as much as I did! I couldn’t put it down, and am now looking forward to reading all of the other books from Jay and Carolyn! Here’s to a great new year full of bookish delights!
