Twilight books

I have finally finished my Twilight books!!! I have to say that I loved the first book the most. However the New Moon movie was better the n the Twilight. It was becoming an obsession as I was reading the books I guess now I have to come back to reality.
I wonder how other people feel about the story.

Some Pictures from New Years



Holidays a over

The holidays are over and the kids are back to school. Now its clean up time. I really do not want to get rid of the tree yet. When is really the best time to take the tree down? Its still festive in the house with the tree, lights and the rest of the decorations. Maybe next weekend.
I am working on a new cardigan for my youngest one. Will post it as soon as it is finished. Does anyone know of any pretty designs for winter sweaters?
