(The song playing is ... the Elf's Lament..)
I just love this song!
I put it on my Christmas message every year.... can't help myself *S*
If it doesn't play.. right click and select 'Play'
You need to allow the "Script" or "Active X Control" for the image to appear
if it hasn't shown up already on the page. It's quite safe... trust me.. *S*

Somehow, not only for Christmas,
But all the long year through,
The joy that you give to others,
Is the joy that comes back to you.
And the more you spend in blessing,
The poor and lonely and sad,
The more of your heart's possessing,
Returns to you glad.
- John Greenleaf Whittier -

TO MY ARTISTRY MASTERS
without whom my life would be empty.

First I want to wish you all a very, happy Christmas and good health and
happiness for 2013. If you're travelling, have a safe holiday season.

For those of you with illness in your family , whether it be yourself or another family member,
and I know of a few Masters going through some personal health problems.
I pray things look brighter for you all next year.
For those who lost family members this year, my sincere sympathy.

For those with family serving in the military who may not be home for Christmas,
I pray they will return safely and soon.
We never know what tomorrow might bring, so... enjoy your family now.

****************************

Thank you to the Daily Activity Leaders who give their time searching for
fantastic tutorials and challenges to keep you all busy.
Thank you to my Tutorial Testers who make me look good. *S*
Thank you Rebba and Yvonne for your tutorials.
Last but definitely not least, thank you to our Moderators who do an outstanding job.

Not a lot has changed in the world since my last Christmas message,
in fact things seem to have become worse, more countries in turmoil,
20 children from one school who never got to celebrate Christmas this year.
So many teenagers killed on the roads here in Australia just weeks before the holidays.
What a sad, sad world we live in.
How often do we ever see something heart warming on the news??

We only have one life and we have to make the best of it no matter what's thrown
in our way. Respect... this too is important and seems to have taken a hike,
especially here in Australia. I made a comment last year about our politicians
needing a slap in the head to bring them to their senses BUT they need to be
slapped harder this coming year. There's no respect in our Parliament.
They can't control themselves yet they see fit to tell us how to live our lives.

Thankfully I have a wonderful group here, the best on the Internet!!!
You keep me sane and make me smile when I need it the most.
Your results for the Daily Activities and your comments bring me joy
and some make me laugh out loud. (Comments... not results..*S*)
Thank you for your support when my computer became my biggest headache
and that's been a few time this year!
It's a lot like me... breaking down with great regularity!
I seem to have spent a lot of time catching up...

Like I said last year... and it hasn't changed...
I know this IS the BEST group on the internet.
You all jump in feet first to help each other at the first cry for assistance.
These's no bitchiness, no arguments, just love!

I'd be lost without you !!!!

Have a wonderful Christmas everyone and a year full of hope in 2013.

Love,

Jamie
