a CHEERful year's end

     2013: Where has the time gone? It's been a while since I've written here, but not so long that I've written entirely.  I've been doing a lot of handwritten journaling lately, and well, much has happened since my last post!  A new year is about to begin and with it new plans are being made.  Like for instance, I do plan to catch you up on some of the lessons I've learned, foods I've eaten, places I've visited, and pretties I've purchased since my last blog entry, but until then... I'm leaving you with a little "taste" of what's to come!
      A hint:  I traveled back to my favorite city this past summer, and considering I woke up today with a case of what I like to call "the London blues", this cheerful recipe from my favorite, Free People Blog, was just what I needed to pull me out of my homesick-feeling slump.
     These delicious Cranberry-Lemon Scones are the perfect antidote for lifting spirits whether you're feeling down because the holidays are nearing an end, or perhaps like me, you're just missing the city of your heart.
     I made a fresh batch this morning, and take it from me; they're as delicious as the ones I once devoured across the pond!
