New year, new surprises, new.......

Despite late, it still is January so brief thoughts of what has been happening:

2015 was a GREAT and busy year. 

Liisa and I had been so busy that it was hard to cope with this blog and finalize many projects we want to do.  We are lucky because we have a lot to do, but we need to learn to balance all.  However we must acknowledge a HUGE and outstanding improvement from 2014. Now, we gather constantly and other people is joining us. That is a HUGE improvement.:)

Other things important in 2015 are:

• we meet Kirsi, she is a gem and we enjoy working with her! 
• this year taught us the importance of our club for our community. We were contacted by different people, despite we are still working with the creation of F4E community. However, this 2015 also gave us clearer information of what several people need to put hands on. 

And 2016, will be a year full of surprises. We are making things happen and we go step by step. :)

The following photo is special for me of what 2016 will bring, as having a lovely 7 year old playing with it.

One step at the time!
