Gosh, it’s hard to believe that 2023 is just hours away from being finished!!! For the Rist family I can say it was a good year – lots of travels, a new grandbaby, good health overall for everyone – and for that I’m so very thankful.

Service Announcement and Final Thoughts…..
My website provider – Webs By Amy – is upgrading to a newer server beginning tonight and throughout the weekend, so even though my website may appear to be up and running, I can not add any posts, new info, etc. until the server upgrade is completed. That being said, I will be missing in action until January 1 or January 2. With the server upgrade hub taking place in Florida, the closer you are to Florida the faster it will change over, so I’m thankful I’m not one of her clients in Australia or New Zealand!!!
I hope and pray that you have a safe New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day wherever you are and however you celebrate. May 2024 be a year of blessings for you and your family, and may we have a great year of crafting ahead of us!!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Hugs my friends!!!
