DH, my sister & I watched the movie Once on New Year's Eve. It was a great movie and I am completely OBSESSED with the soundtrack. I've been out of the music loop lately but I guess the main guy character is the lead singer of the Frames.

You have to listen...seriously, it's beautiful!
And, see the movie, one of my faves of '07

Happy New Year to you & your family!!!!




our one & only family shot at Christmas (actually for the entire year i think....)

I forgot to post that my best friend Jackie's son Tyler was on Babystyle's website the other day - looks like it was only up for a couple of days...

this site is awesome!! http://www.tastespotting.com/ (i can barely cook a microwave dinner w/o ruining it but i'm addicted!)

copied from tangled & true blog:

Tastespotting is "only as delicious as you submit": a perfectly eclectic message board of anything gastronomic. They say that "this is like the telephone pole covered in flyers. Just put it up." Simply, 1. register as a user/contributor, 2. Click add the next image and 3. Upload a great image, give it a quick caption, and insert the link.

question for you crafty ladies......

does anyone know the name of this fabric or where to get it?

54 Ways To Improve Your Digital Photography

Graffiti letters are very, very thin pieces of vinyl. A light adhesive holds them firmly on the wall until you're ready to remove them. Think Colorforms and Post-It notes.Vinyl makes Graffiti flexible, durable, and washable. Its extreme thinness and hand-applied matte finish make Wonderful Graffiti look like it's been literally printed on the wall. (And not like vinyl at all.)

• Press it on, peel off backing, stand back and admire it
• Text arrives prepositioned and transfers all at once—no individual letters to place
• Easily removable
• Won't damage walls
• Washable and durable
• Won't fade, crack or peel
• Stays in place until you remove it

how many of you remember this commercial?

95% done!!!!!!! Thank god...Ava's nursery turned out to be nothing like I expected but I am so happy with it, it's my favorite room in the house. It's kind of a mish mash of styles (antique, shabby chic - gasp!!!, modern) with stuff from all over the world (japan, china, bali, vietnam)

P keeps complimenting me on it and how much he likes it....which surprises me, because he's such a guy.

I'll post pics of the other side in the next few days hopefully.
