It's wonderful to see you in my ...Hello Vickie,<br />It's wonderful to see you in my inbox because I've been thinking about you a few times recently. Firstly though I must thank you so much for thinking about me for the Grow Your Blog Party. It's been my intention to come across and get sorted, but the time just seems to be galloping away. I remember the date was set for 19th January because my birthday is the 23rd! ;D<br /><br />Secondly I thought about you when I was in Sydney recently because we were on the harbour cruise tour and there was an American couple sitting in front of me that looked just like you and your hubby. They were also going on one of the huge cruise ships the next day that had anchored in the harbour. <br />I couldn't resist and at the end of the tour I asked her if her name was Vickie...but it wasn't you :(<br />Can you imagine if it had been...now that would have been surreal!<br /><br />Thank you for your lovely kind comments above and for thinking about me. I'm going to pop over to you RIGHT NOW before anything else takes me away! <br />See you soon xoxoNeesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-54914459481947264112012-12-30T02:35:01.613+00:002012-12-30T02:35:01.613+00:00Hi Beautiful Neesie -- You look pretty "cool&...Hi Beautiful Neesie -- You look pretty "cool" in that hot tub -- I hope your vacation was wonderful -- the snow looks beautiful!<br /><br />I have just loaded your amazing blog into the draft for my Grow Your Blog party - so you are all set!

He's rather rotund...possibly due to all the daily goodies he's indulging in. ;D<br /><br />Happy New Year to you and your's too Rachel.

It was a little scary with the new ink and nibs that I've never tried before and also lots of blank pages of the journal which I always find frightening, but I felt the fear but carried on anyway! ;D<br />I just took a line for a walk and let it lead me where it wanted...<br />We are actually in Québec. So where is your Mum located? <br />Isn't it surreal that you'll be travelling from Chester (very near all of my family) to here in Canada where I am at the moment...where you're family is located!<br /><br />I hope you are over your cold now but I'll nip over just to check on you before you leave. :D <br /><br />Best wishes for 2013 for you, Todd, Mitzie, your Mum and all of your family xoxo <br /><br /><br />Neesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-27404348303378856202012-12-27T21:55:16.192+00:002012-12-27T21:55:16.192+00:00You take the best pictures to make us feel like we...You take the best pictures to make us feel like we are right there beside you, Neesie, even in the hot tub in the snow!!
