Coming to an End

The year is coming to an end. Christmas has come and gone. It was wonderful. We made new traditions in our new house. We are more settled than we were last year at this time. There were mountains of snow this December, which is always the month I like snow best. There was also lots of lovely light, which makes the cold much more bearable.

I've been making my resolutions for the fast approaching January 1st. And I have some new toys in my camera bag, AND a new camera bag. I'm looking forward to 2009. I'm not sure why. It just seems like it's going to be a good year already. Mmmmmmm... I love when a clean slate lays ahead. Like a fresh blanket of snow.

Happy last Monday of 2008!

I Spy

* The sun shining today! =)
* Cool letters at the Post Office. My favorites are the big O and dark S.

* Red berries looking a little deflated, but still beautiful.
* Bunny tracks in the snow. We have lots of bunny neighbors.
* So much beauty that I'm hoping for a less harsh winter than the last, so that I can enjoy it more!

What have you spied today that made you smile, warmed your heart, made you thankful?

Things in Jars


It's been a long exhausting week. I bet December is just a plain ol' exhausting month for every one of us. There seems like there is just always more on the to-do list. And each thing is something that we really want to do with care. But something always has to give. December just needs to have more days. February has less. Where'd those missing days go? Can't we attach them to December? And while we're at it... can we make Winter only last from Thanksgiving to New Year's? And can I stop getting older each birthday?

I think sleep deprivation is getting to me. =)
So I'll just wish you a happy weekend!
See you next week!

Coat Love

Don't you just love a new coat? I'm so excited about the great deal I just got on this GAP 3/4 length sleeve buffalo plaid awesomeness. Time for some elbow length black leather gloves, don't you think? Mmmmmm.... I have a total crush on a coat.

Do you get coat crushes, or are you going steady with one that is tried and true?

White Out


It was a snowy day today. Doesn't that make for a perfect Sunday? Waking up on a Sunday morning, after a Saturday night with friends. Finishing up your weekend projects before noon. Making some yummy snacks (a cheese dip) and watching some football cuddled up with your honey. It was all perfection. And so was getting a call that our second niece was born... Mia Rae.

Here's to a nice snowy Sunday. A birth day.
