a year (and a day) in review

With a montage and background music to boot! Huzzah!



1. First of all, thanks to all y'all, for being my friends. This past year found me a little on the lonely side of life. But thanks to blogging, I've been able to maintain and make new friends. Shoot, lately I've even found a whole slew of pals from home and college! Keeping in touch is pretty sweet.
2. - 4. Our quaint and quirky guest house has also made for an interesting year. It's the place we call home though. Feel free to stop by, anytime. Visitors welcome (hint, hint)!
5. - 6. It helps that we love it here in sunny Cal, regardless the fires, and other CA casualties. And I don't feel so bad for the studious Brad. Boohoo, he has to go to school on the beach. Cry me an ocean (just kidding, you work really hard honey. We're all VERY proud of you.)!
7. We made it through our first year of law school AND blogging! Everyone jump around in circles, waving your arms like the bunch of crazies I know you are. I'm waiting...
8. - 9. From our campsite to yours: Howdy! and enjoy your stay here :)
10. Are there ever enough tags?! No. In fact, I have one on my to do list. Anyone interested in a pre-tag tag???
11. Ooh-ooh, swaps! I have yet to host one myself, but hopefully someday (you still on for that Rob?). And we mustn't forget the BBQE! I should post pics of all the beautiful blocks...
12. Projects galore! Hey, it's what I do. Have I told you lately, that I love Mod Podge? And all my blocks. And fabric patches. And anything that gives me a creative outlet... creativity is another one of my friends. We're BFF. (I really should start organizing my posts under labels... thoughts?)
13. Digital scrapbooking. Wow, that's consumed lots of B-time (and then some). But I'm still loving it. Thanks to all the ladies who inspired and continue to amaze me.
14. Woot woot! Click here and here for some creative team shout outs. Fun times, fun times...
15. Another HUGE thank you to all you lovelies who have helped me out with my layouts. Somehow scrapping a femme page centered around my Monk seems very wrong. Very wrong indeed. Good thing I have such cute family and friends with such cute girlies of their own!
16. THE call of the year. I'm still suffering Weeds & Wildflowers post-partum. I'm afraid it will never end. But life goes on, and so it has. *sigh*
17. The start of something super crazy. But wait, there's more! Speaking of butts, you're going to have to sit patiently on yours until I get some things sorted out before I let THAT cat out of the {B}ag... and that's that ;P
18. And I dare you to tell me who does NOT like a give-away! I have yet to win one... Sadness. Nonetheless, happiness comes in giving to others. So I will continue to do so, gosh darnit! And here it is:

Celebrate my blogsie's anni with me for a chance to win something. It'll be good, I promise! Basically, leave a comment and I'll pick a random winner to CHOOSE what she (or he?) would have me do! And by do, I mean make, because I'm a po' girl who can't dance.

Thanks again for a wonderful year together. Thanks for keeping me going. Bloggers unite!!! Here's to you my friends. *B

  6. hmmm, it's nice to know that other people feel lonely too. especially people like you (who make friends as fast as they blink). not that I'm glad you felt lonely, just that it's nice to know that I'm not the only one chillin in the lonely-boat.

  11. I am glad that we found one another here. Funny how things work. You on the west coast, me on the east. Law school is your beginning and I have finished my stint working for attorneys. (was a legal assistant for 9 years, LOL).
