Happy New Year : )

To all my blogging gals... wishing you the best in 2010!

(My awesome photoshop skills!)

Feeling crafty...

I'm tapping into my inner Korean girl and making origami stars like nobody's business.  Why?  Because I just learned to make them and I'm addicted.... I plan to make enough to fill a jar and call it the wishing jar 'cause you know when you wish upon a star....

Count your Blessings Tuesday #16

Today I am grateful for:

• a fantastic Christmas
• meeting up with friends you haven't seen in a while
• time to appreciate my smart little boy
• our membership to the aquarium :)
• my time off work even if it's not with C
• our new dryer coming today so we don't have to run our clothes TWICE before they're dry!

Blessed

I know I take every Tuesday to count my blessings but I don't think there are enough Tuesdays out there for me to count them all ;)  My biggest and best blessings are C and T and every single moment I spend with them.  It was great to be home and sit back and just take in how awesome a family I have and how lucky we are to be together, healthy, in a warm house with gifts under our tree.

My favorite gift this Christmas, however, was not what was under my tree.  It was to watch the wonder and excitement in T's eyes as he saw his gifts.  It was also sharing that moment with my parents over Skype... it was how T thanked Santa for his gifts without us telling him to say thank you.  It was watching C play with T and how he too was enjoying the moment.

Thank you God for all the blessings in my life... for blessing me with these moments.

1 Chronicles 16:34
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

Etsy Find Wednesdays #15

I was going to find something Christmassy for today's Etsy post but I happened upon this awesomely awful find and couldn't pass it up....

Awesomely Awful:  Brief Jerky from mixedspecies... only $139

For just $139, you too can be dazzling in these undies made out of real untreated jerky... sexy AND a snack... awesome!  The bedazzling is excellent... think I'll get a pair for C!

Awesomely Awesome:  "ditto"

I have no idea what I could pair this up with that would even compare...
