I am joining Cindy at My Romantic Home for her annual Year in Review. This is a difficult challenge. For a blogger to pick just a "few" highlights from the previous year, when there are 1000s of pictures to choose from.
I, of course, highlighted my children, my grandchildren, my precious Bentley....but there is also the infamous Bunny on a Stick, Cloche Party, Tablescape Thursdays, and various places we visited this past year. I wouldn't say 2009 was one of the best years, but any year VERTICAL is a Great Year!!
Marty, from a Stroll Thru Life and I have been TRYING to get together for lunch during the holidays. But then we both got sick...yada, yada, yada....I had already set the table for when she would come over...so I told her I would post it. The reindeer dishes were Target clearance 2 years ago. Everything else, I have had, I just switch it around. The jingle napkin rings....those I have to count whenever I use them....people tend to want to take them home! So I will also join in on Tablescape Thursday at Susan's.
If there were only words to tell all of my blogging friends how much blogging means to me. The prayers said for our family across this land and foreign....the inspiration to continue to dream and create, the sharing of fun and sad times...Blogging has brought hours of friendships into my life I couldn't even imagine. I am thankful for you...and I pray that 2010 will be a wonderful year for you and your families.
The possibilities are endless!!

Ceekay, your tablescape is just gorgeous. You did such a beautiful job and I am so sorry I missed our lunch. The reindeer are wonderful and the small goblets with the candles are so pretty. Your ornaments as placecard holders are fabulous. Love the china, the napkins and all the accessories. Everything is just stunning. Thank you for going to so much work, it is truly a beautiful table. Hopefully next week we can get together. Thank you for setting such a beautiful table. Hugs, Marty
Wonderful highlight pictures! I have enjoyed getting to know you this past year. I wish you magic and happiness in the coming new year.
Your Right about 2009! It pretty much stunk. But your right about any day being vertical is better than the alternative. I'm sorry I won't be able to make it New Years! I'm bummed. It will be a blast I'm sure!
Happy New Year my sweet friend!

It will be a wonderful year, certainly! Thank you for visiting me this year, and I have enjoyed visiting your blog, also! I look forward to seeing more of your lovely photos. Happy New Year, Ceekay!
Cheers, Andrea
I so enjoyed visiting your Year in Review and these beautiful tables.
Hope you are feeling better....Sarah
Wonderful post Ceekay!! So sorry you and Marty have been feeling under the weather and not able to get together. How blessed that you live close to each other though!! Looking forward to seeing you again hopefully when I'm down that way- of course you are always welcome up North here!!
Those spoons are the simplest things ever. Found some little sticky saying at Hobby Lobby and put them on the spoon part. Tied a little ribbon around handle and then threaded those cute curly que ornament hangers on the back of spoon using ribbon to hold it. I put a dab of hot glue on some of them if it look like the ribbon was going to slide around. That's it!!
sorry it took me a little bit to get back to you- I went to Tijeras, NM to spend a few days with my sister!
blessing and Happy New YEAR!

Good Morning Sweetie...
I love to come over here for my sunshine of the day. That is what you are sweet friend. A bright ray of sunshine in my heart. I want to thank you for that. It has been a great year with you, my new friend.
I love your table setting, as it is so festive and so you. Lovin the plates. Aren't they just the prettiest? The little ornaments at each setting were just the prettiest little touch.
Here's wishing you happiness, love, prosperity, peace and good health.
Country hugs and so much love sweetie...Sherry
What a wonderful year in review -- wishing you all the best for 2010. I hope that you and Marty get together for lunch soon. Love those jingle bells napkin rings -- I can see why they would wander off!
Oooh, love all the teacups in your header.
Happy New Year!
Haven't been here in a while and I've been missing out. Beautiful tablescapes and all your photos are beautiful. Many blessing dear lady for the coming new year!
