Happy New Year!!

Can you believe it, another new year already?! Insane! But it's been a good, and a very blessed, 2010. I hope that each of you have a lovely time celebrating with friends & family.

See you in 2011!!

Ringing in the New Year!

So, not throwing a NYE party myself, but thought it would be fun to throw out some ideas that might inspire other great parties for 2011 elsewhere!

Two ideas that are completely opposite but might appeal to the masses:

a cozy cabin get-away with a view of snow and warmth inside, or

a glamorous soiree full of sequins and fabulousness.

For the cozy cabin get-away...

Fireworks in the snow, maybe be a little bon fire and a glass of champagne? Yes, please!

Then wake up to pumkin pancakes on the first day of 2011 (that is, if you plan to sleep at all ;).

A White Christmas for 2010!

I am sorry I've been a little MIA from my blog as of late, but am hoping to get some inspiring posts in before the New Year as way of catching up.

How was your Christmas?? We had a great one, because it was a WHITE Christmas here in the middle of the south! Probably got about 6-7 inches at our house, totally surprised us both! So of course, we (and the rest of our neighborhood) took advantage of our massive hill in the backyard and enjoyed some sledding, a mini-bon fire, some mimosas, and hanging with family and friends in the snow.

Here are some pictures from our Christmas extravaganza!
