good bye 2011...

Thinking back, it has been a pretty good year overall... I moved out on my own, spent some time watching 2 little angels grow (still crazy that they were once in my best friend's tummy :), got to spend 2 amazing weeks exploring martha's vineyard, spent much more valuable time with my friends and family, even re-connecting with a few from the past, spent a lot of time nurturing my creativity and am growing and feeling pretty happy at my job! It did have some hard points, I lost my aunt and then my uncle within months of each other but find some peace knowing they are together again... while it was a pretty big year in my life, I feel excited to think of the possibilities of the coming year. Here's to celebrating 2011 and the anticipation of 2012!

I have wanted to start some sort of a themed post and have seen something similar on many of my favorite blogs... favorite five will be a place I can share some of the interesting and fabulous things I run across... hopefully at least once a week - and more often if i can. It could be anything - products, projects, ideas, etc... here we go!

merry merry...

A little late but still feeling festive! This year was my first Christmas on my own, which of course involved my very own Christmas tree!


Of course nothing compares to the feeling of being home for Christmas. This year my parents got the fattest tree I have ever seen! I decked the halls, so to speak, when I arrived home. The old farmhouse always looks its best at Christmas! Wish I took some pictures, my dad is planning to send some :) hopefully before I post!

In addition to the Christmas at my apartment and home. I went up to New Hampshire for a Christmas weekend with my friend, her family and her two precious babies! They turned 1 the weekend before Christmas :) I found them little handprint ornament kits and decided to tackle a cute pattern i saw on pinterest, with a few flairs because these are some special little ladies! It was hard for me to stick to 1 pair each!

I also got a chance to catchup with friends, a Christmas walk through Beacon Hill and drinks in Cambridge. I even met up with an old friend at home that I had not seen in 4 years! I love Christmastime, everything feels so special.

A few festive pics I have run across:
