Holiday & Year End Wrap Up

Happy Holidays, All!

Full of eggnog and Christmas cheer,  I hope no matter how small your home is that it's full of love and laughter this holiday.   I'm headed out on Safari (yipee!) but I'm leaving you with 3 final thoughts for this 2011.   (See you in 2012!)

#1: Download these FREE adorable labels from Eat Drink Chic for holiday presents. (How cute would they be as placecards too??)

#2:  How fun are these Merry Christmas dish covers for all you folks making handmade things...Adler & Co.  They'd spruce up any dish. 

#3:  For the good or bad, this was one heck of a year.  Buzz Feed did a great job of summing it up visually.  Insanely deadly weather, fierce anger and uncertainty seemed to mark 2011 but also some seriously cool things like the Middle East revolutions and the pull out from Iraq.  Mostly, it's a good reminder that the best gift is that of a home and for those of us who weren't hit by a hurricane, tornado, tsumni or financial devastation then help support those who were.  After all, we're all in this life together.

Live large and with a generous spirit-
