another year over...

well, i can't say i'm to sorry to see 2009 go... it's been a wild and crazy year in many ways! but i am very excited, as always, about a new year and the fresh feeling of a new realm of possibilities that it brings. so, just as i did in 2008, here's a little wrap-up/look back of some happy things throughout the year that is ending:

::: the sunburst mirror :::

::: a wintery wreath :::

::: a cupcake extravaganza :::

::: a baby party :::

::: lots of new projects :::

::: a few not-so-great and one great craft show :::

::: a couple of handmade gifts :::

::: my whole first year of mothering :::

and of course, a lot of inspiration and ideas from my little blog village of a very wide world web, that is maybe not so huge after all.

i'll be greeting the new year with my amazing husband of five years, my sweet baby girl who is admittedly suddenly not-so-baby anymore, and my best childhood girlfriend. with a sweet pup of course, and lots of good movies and munchies. it is a good life.

happy new year!
