My last day of 2011...

Mister Christmas and I spent our last day of 2011 helping our favorite local craft store,

Fancy Tiger,

move into their new space.  It was such a fun day, and when it was all over we were treated to pizza and beer!

Their new space is SAAAAAAAWEEEEEET!  If you haven't had the chance to visit, (or if you live in another state or country :) here are some shots of their beautiful new store...

The space is so much bigger, yet feels so much cozier.
Very well-planned, and super COOL.

Mister Christmas helped put up a bookshelf or two... 

Thanks for inviting us to help with such a special day!

So excited for you and your new space, Amber and Jaime!!

For New Year's Eve,

we decided to keep it "chill," so we took in a double feature...

 "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"
and
"Sherlock Holmes 2" 

So much fun!!!!

We even had a little time to share a New Year's drink in between shows...

 A very nice, mellow way to ring in the New Year.
Am I getting old?  :)
We were surrounded by senior citizens at the theater.
(Not that there's anything wrong with that. :)

Stay tuned for a look back at the GOOD parts of last year, including some 2011 designs from Fern and Sprout.

Cheers!

Good riddance.

So long, 2011.  

Although I did make some beautiful memories with my family and friends, I won't miss the most HEARTBREAKING year of my life, AT ALL.

I am ready for the NEW YEAR!

I know the year to come will hold it's own share of issues.  I realize life just isn't perfect.

But I sure am ready to move forward...in lots of ways.

In honour of the new year, I'm giving you some sparkly inspiration for this 

Fascination Friday...

2012 is almost upon us and MY, MY, MY - I am ready for that!!!

What are your New Year's Eve plans?

Do share!

Out with the old...

IN WITH THE NEW!!!

For New Year's Eve, we spent a nice, quiet evening with our friends.

Yummy food, close friends, and lots o' laughs.

What a way to ring in 2011!

Thank you, Mark and George!!

I am excited and hopeful about what's to come in this next year.

My only resolution is to keep moving.  I am going to grab onto the future and hold on for the ride.  

Lots of new changes are coming soon!

Stay tuned!

Holiday Recap

The NEW YEAR is almost upon us!!!  Wow!

I can't believe we've spent almost the entire month without any snow.  It's certainly coming down, this evening.  

The snow began today, just after I met with my dear friend, Slug (Jenna,) for our annual Christmas celebration at The Market on Larimer Street.  

We had a lovely breakfast and then we did some shopping. (We got these matching hoodies with our "Groupons.")

As I sit here, watching the snow fall, I can't believe how December has flown by in a WHIRLWIND!

Here's a small recap of my month, in photos...

I am looking forward to sharing a quiet New Year's Eve with some friends, and a nice New Year's Day brunch.

What are your plans?

I have so much to share in the days to come.  I will be back to my regular blogging schedule with lots o' goodies, and some creative inspiration to feed your soul.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
