Thank You

In 2010 I will…

Ah! Another year over and onto the next one. For me, January 1st always brings a feeling of anticipation and excitement.  Will this year be awesome? What will I accomplish?  Where will I be 365 days from now? Of course, it’s not fun to know the answers to those questions, but I’ve always thought that it’s good to set some goals for the new year (whether they’re big or small).

I’ve created a “Resolution Generator” – a collection of goals contributed by family and friends and from various sources on the world wide web. Clicking the “gimme more” button generates random goals from the overall collection.

If you’d like to contribute some of your goals, please feel free to message me. I’d love to hear from you!!

Greetings!

To keep people warm and cozy this holiday, my cards include a packet of hot cocoa.

Baking + Making

It’s been a while since I’ve baked aggressively, so I was really excited when my mom suggested that we make our gifts for the holiday season. We also thought it’d be nice to customize our labels – so I designed the packages for our homemade goods. It’s been fun looking through our cook books and deciding which recipes to take on.

Oh what fun.

Today, I had a great time helping out with a class project for my sister’s 2nd grade class. We thought that it might be fun for the kids to make their own holiday cards. I pre-cut pop-out christmas tree cards and the kids then decorated them. It was so wonderful to see their enthusiasm and excitement for the project. They loved working with glitter. Below are their awesome creations.
