‘Twas the day after Christmas…

‘Twas the day after Christmas and all through the blog,
at the sight of a new post, the crowd were agog.
Though “crowd” is most likely too hopeful a noun,
since new posts around here are considerably down
from five posts in one day, believe it or not,
(on 6 August, ’07 for you disbelieving lot!)
to a single post (if you’re lucky) every month or two,
which I resolve to improve, I can assure you.

Next year, you see, the littler of my girls,
(the one with the brown eyes and gentle dark curls)
is heading to ‘big school’ – she’ll go every day,
which leaves mummy here with some more time to play.
And of course I will miss her – of that there’s no doubt,
but I figure it’s time to sort this ‘business’ out.

This ‘business’ that I started almost six years ago,
not realising back then quite how fast it would grow.
And therefore not doing it as ‘properly’ as I might,
had I foreseen the potential for it to take flight.
But soon with more time and opportunity to,
I look forward to starting it somewhat anew.

And I hope you will join me, both here and for real,
as I stamp and create with revitalised zeal.
For ‘to love what I do and share what I love”
is something I know that I’ll never tire of.
Huge thanks for your support of me, whether it be,
as someone already related to me,
or a person I’ve met on this stampin’ adventure,
so many of whom since became friends, I would venture.

So on this Boxing Day, I hope that it’s been
even better a Christmas than you had foreseen.
And here, from my family, best wishes to you,
and all our very best for a great New Year too!

    Hello Beautiful Sarah! :)
    SO wonderful to hear from you!!! I wasn’t sure how you were going to top off last year when you made those wonderful and very funny jokes about your “hat hair” but lovely you certainly have with this amazingly put together poem!!! Really, how long did it take you to write that!!! Clever, so very clever!! :)
    I look forward to seeing you more, mostly cause you always make me smile and leave me feeling warm and like we’ve chatted!
    I hope that your holiday time is completely fabulous!!
    Huge hugs from me dear sweet Sarah,
    Smiles Sharnee :)

      Lovely Sharnee, always such sweet things to say :-) Honestly, I had thought of doing a “Twas the week before Christmas” poem, but totally ran out of time when I decided that I needed to sew both of my girls a dress to wear on Christmas day (plus all the other stuff that requires one’s attention in the lead up to the big day), so I had been ruminating over the idea for a week or so, but only put it together in the one afternoon ;-) Always did love to dabble in poetry… xo

  • Julia Quinn

      Thanks Julia! Probably best described as “jack of all trades, master of none” ;-)

  • Julie

    One word to describe the poem and the pic of your girls – fabulous.
