Happy 2012!!
Long about this time you’ll be browsing blogs and seeing these “favorites” posts. I always enjoy them and I hope you’ll enjoy scrolling through the few I picked out. If I were to wait a month I may choose different favorites as I don’t seem able to settle on any one style.
As you review your own year, I hope you’re able to say there were more ups than downs. It was a good year for me, ending on a happy note as we welcomed LuLu into our family. Every year my perspective on life shifts just a little bit. Priorities jostle each other around trying to claim the #1 spot. I can’t say what’s ahead but I anticipate a continued trend toward home, family, peace, serenity. That’s what I’ll be keeping in my sights. I’m wishing you all a happy and successful year!

You inspire me all year long. I look forward to your creations in 2012.
Whose stamp is the ape in the jungle? I LOVE that card and don't remember seeing it when it was first posted.

What a beautiful selection of cards!! If I had to pick only that is my favourite, I think it would be the "Be still and know" card. That is stunning but they are all gorgeous. Love your work and thanks for inspiring me!

Beautiful choices. I think the reason I like your cards so much is you don't always have the same kind of style. Keep it up. Happy New Year. I look forward to the cards and fur baby updates.

Happy New Year! It's nice to see which cards were your favorites this year. Out of your faves, my fave is the sweet pea card. I love how you stamped, colored, THEN embossed. So cool!
I hope your New Year's wishes come true. :)

Each card is AMAZING!!! I've always loved your art so much. Happy New Year to you. We are still in Washington State with my family. We go home on Thursday - bitter/sweet. I'm looking forward to Wally/LuLu Saturdays.

What a noble job you did in picking out your favourites. My list would have been much, much longer; perhaps several kilometres long. You have been a constant inspiration and I thank you for this. Wishing you and yours a very happy, healthy 2012.

You have chosen some awesome cards for your favorites! Every one of them is a "WOW" all by itself. Have a Happy New Year & I look forward to more of your wonderful creations!

You couldn't have chosen a more beautiful group of cards for you favorites, but I suspect there are zillions more that would fit. I love them all.
Oh, I just saw a peek of your little pup..what a cutie! Both are beautiful and I am sure they are treasured.

It is impossible to have favorites from your cards since each card is absolutely beautiful! Love them all! Best wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous new year to you and yours!

Thanks for sharing your beautiful creations again. It must have been hard to pick just 12 favorites from all of your fabulous cards! Happy New Year, Leslie!

Thank you so much Leslie for sharing your favorites for the year. I LOVE them all and still feel honored to have one of these favorites (gorgeous sweet peas) of my very own. I am looking forward to bringing it out again when spring gets a bit closer. I so treasure our forever friendship my friend. Happy New Year to you, Rich and the cute pups.
