2013 | New Years Eve

Welcome to 2013 - the year of More! More Blogging, More photos being taken, More exercise, and More dieting. More on that... later.

Last night we spent in company of our wonderful friends Tim and Katherine. We rang in the new year by having a pork chop dinner together topped off with Monster cookies and Ice Cream for dessert! Mmmh! Good! Oh yeah, and I polished off a half bottle of wine... It tasted SO good.

Then Kat picked up some Christmas Crackers for us - so at Midnight, we cracked them open and had to get a few photos of the crazy crowns that came with them!

The Dogs were NOT happy with all the fireworks going off outside. Aquaman was the least neurotic of the three which is pretty impressive. Cosmo just hopped up on Tim's chair, which is pretty out of character- and Seven ran around in circles panting so hard his toung was hanging sideways out of his mouth... Poor Puppies

Bring it on 2013... Let's do this!

Ps Aquaman even got brave and snagged a chew from Seven....

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!

R is for Ronnebeck!
