On Resolutions

New Years Eve is nearly upon us and I have nothing. Not one Resolution and I am pleased with that position. Every year I approach January first with a list of "to do" and "to be" and that first month I am all caught up in it, and then it slowly dribbles till April I find myself searching my blog looking to see what I resolved to do.

I am content with life right now, I have things ahead of me, and things behind me, but for the most part I am ready to simplify life and just be. Just be in the moment, and not let things get too complicated.  I am the quintessential neurotic that over analyzes all too often and doesn't sit back and let things happen. I don't necessarily believe in "taking total control and making it happen" either.

2011 left me heartbroken, thankful, frustrated, blessed, angry, loved, sad, blissful and everything in between. 2012 will be simple. Happy. Less complicated.

And hopefully, God will see it fit to be so.

Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past.  Let it go, for it was imperfect, and thank God that it can go.

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!
