2008 In Pictures

I saw this idea on my friend Sandra's blog and I thought it was a wonderful idea!

Here is what she did:

With the New Year right around the corner, this is the perfect
time for a peek through the past year of blogging.

I would love for you to join in with me!Post the first sentence (or two)

can also add a favorite picture (or two!) from each month.

SO, go get yourself a cup of tea and enjoy my 2008 Year In Review.
