haircut

I have almost grown out the hair disaster of 2010 thanks to five new inches since March (my hair grows fast). Today I am going in for a trim to try and even out the layers. I am shooting for the length of Jen with the texture of Anne.

christmas cards

I love these Christmas cards from RSVP Invitations. They recently put some of their invites on Etsy and even offer print yourself option for some of their cards. They will add your picture and verbiage and you can take the file they send you and print them at Costco, among other places. Or you could just have them print them for you. One way or the other these are the prettiest cards I have seen this season.

loveliness for monday

I love this Santa ornament, my tree is crying for it.

I read somewhere online that gray is the new taupe. Thank heavens for a new neutral.

I love this couch. Notice the light gray walls?

calling all readers

I am starting to collect data for my final project for my Master's degree. I am wondering if anyone has read any historical fiction on the Revolutionary War. If you have would you mind leaving a comment with the book title and perhaps a couple of thoughts on the book? I would appreciate any suggestions you have!

more cranberry

Cranberry Bundt Cake. Between this, the Cranberry Pie and Cranberry Sauce for Thanksgiving I should be able to make it through most of my massive bag of cranberries.

thanksgiving

I saw this banner on Spearmint (you can download a printable copy at the Bonjour Family). I think it is appropriate for the month November and it reminds me of something my Dad told me, although everything may not be going the way I would like, life is good. For that I am thankful.

two things

#1- I like the sliding doors in this room (really I just like the room). I think they would be cool in a cabin.

#2- This cranberry dessert is just what I need to use up some of the giant bag of cranberries I bought (I am making the cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving, which will take exactly 1/4 of the bag of cranberries I bought).

Did you hear? Prince William and Kate Middleton are engaged, which means a royal wedding this spring or summer. Who is excited?
