Happy New Year!

Another year is over! I made dinner last night for a few friends and then popped into a local bar for the count down. I woke up this morning without a voice. What a way to start off the new year, right?

And here's some photos of 2010. :)

May this year bring you peace and happiness.

Love,

Colleen

The Stockings Are Hung.

How cute is this stocking made from a sweater?

Expectant

I have a really hard time around the holidays but I don't really know why. I enjoy the season of Advent but Christmas totally stresses me out! This can be a really lonely time for some people and I think it's important to remind people that you care for them and I don't think it has to be in the form of a gift. My friend Lana is using this season to list all of the things she is thankful for. She is a wonderful lady!

I'm looking forward to the new year and I think this calendar by Erin Jang is an adorable way to keep track of 2011. Who knows what could happen in the next year. :)

Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!

I hosted Thanksgiving for the first time and finally made these pumpkin cookies. I was a little overwhelmed at first but I think everything turned out okay with the help of my mom. :)

It has been amazing having time off from work! I have been spending time with family and friends and yesterday I went thrifting.

Here are a few things from around the web. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! xo

I love this hat.

Maybe I need a nerdy boyfriend.

Apple and cheddar scones.
