Pretty Paper Customized Invitations and Cards

Last night I dreamt that I was buying new patio furniture. I woke up feeling so warm and happy. I shuffled out of bed and peered out the window only to be met by a boat load of snow. Oh boy! Today I'm longing for warm summer evenings on my patio, drinking wine and eating popcorn. Dream life!

January is over and my "To do" list is complete! One of my proudest accomplishments was upholstering my basic folding chairs so that they match the dining bench. Now no one should feel like they got stuck on the "crappy" folding chair at the table.

Love Williams Sonoma hot chocolate on a cold January night!

January is a month of domestic action for me! December was all about parties, fun and indulging, so for January I take a bit of a break from being out and about, and spend the bulk of my free time at home relaxing, and getting odd jobs around the house completed. I like to start the new year knowing that things on the home front are on the right track. It's my philosophy that if you want ANYTHING to last in in your life (this includes boys, friends, family and stuff) you need to make the effort to maintain and care for them. There is no greater satisfaction than writing down your goals and scratching them out as they are completed, I just love the sound of the pen against the paper! January isn't over, it's not too late to get a few items off of your "to do" list done. Go for it!!!

Staying warm this cold winters night!

Love casual weeknight dinners at home. Cooking, listening to music and sharing a meal with someone special! Life is so much sweeter when you find joy in the simple things.
