  2. Good morning dearest Irina..this time of year certainly can be a whirlwind and catch up with us...we have mostly been home here with JoJo but it still keeps us very busy! We are having very hot days here in the Land of Oz although our coastal area isn't too bad! Sending love and hugs from the beach over to you...Dzintra xoxo

  5. Hello Irina:
    How lovely your holiday time sounds to have been. No wonder that you are only slowly emerging. We can well identify with these same feelings!

    Still, it is wonderful to be surrounded by friends and family at this most joyous time of year.

    May 2013 be all that you wish for!

  8. Hi Irina!
    Sounds like you've had a hectic Christmas season. I think we all need a recovery period after the festivities.

    All best wishes for a happy and healthy year to you too!

  9. What lovely parties you hosted, and I am certain that all were in awe of the the hostess. I am so sorry to hear that you have been ill, and hope that you are on the road to recovery. I'll have to remember that kitty as I have felt just like that before.

    Wishing you the very best for 2013, ma chère amie.

    Bises,
    Genie

  11. I hope you're feeling much better, Irina!
    (Love the little kitty... :)
    I'm so ready for Spring! I adore the snow for the holidays and even the chilly weather...but once January rolls around I'm thinking tulips and lots of pussy willows! Can you imagine a year of SPRING? Ahhhhh, heaven!
    Stay warm and healthy!
    Warm hugs~

  13. Oh Irina, I just read this. I didn't know you had been sick. I'm so sorry. Not a good way to start the new year, but hopefully, things can only get better. As always, great pictures to illustrate your story. laurie

  14. I hope you are feeling better now, love. Chicken soup has my name written all over it. It's the second time I've come across it while blogging this evening and now, of course, I'm craving it. :)
    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your new header. I also see Anita's newest adorable Valentine creation on the sidebar. Doesn't she look like her? I think so.
    XOXO's,
    Marcia
