I want to extend a very Merry Christmas & a Healthy & Happy New Year to all my readers and friends. I wish you many blessings in 2019!
New Year Tree
With the busy holidays here I need to take a breather and spend time with my family and share the joy of this blessed holiday. I will be back again after the New Year.
May your blessings be as abundant as the flowers on my Christmas Cactus.

Wishing you a wonderful and creative New Year, Janice … May it be full of joy, love & light! Have a fabulous time celebrating the start of 2019! Xx ps. Your Christmas cactus is stunning! Wow!
So jealous of your Christmas Cactus – mine managed two flowers about two weeks before Christmas! Perhaps it’s transitioning to become an Easter Cactus 🙂 Wishing you all the best for 2019 when it comes.
The secret to getting more blossoms is to get a second plant and put them together in the same pot. They will bloom as they marry so to speak.♥️🎊🎉Happy New Year!
