! ! ! 2011 ! ! !

okay, slacker!

{that's me!}

here it is almost 10:00 p.m.

on new years day,

and i am just now posting my "happy new year" post!!

but better late, than not at all.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, FRIENDS!

best wishes for a prosperous and fulfilling new year!

i don't have to tell you

how much i have to look forward to this year.

{i've done enough of that lately.}

and since i've had so many novel-like posts lately

{including yesterday's look back on 2010},

i'll keep this one short and sweet...

as sweet as the sparkling grape juice
that i quenched my festive thirst with yesterday and today.

{i told you i'd be good this year... for baby.}

one last thing...

the above photo was my first contribution to my gallery
for the picture winter workshop.

we were to shoot something

that reflected how we'd rest on this first day of the new year.

i chose to capture the sparking glass

of sparkling grape elixir

in front of the sparking christmas tree

that i kicked back with today.

tomorrow, i'll share my word for 2011!

i hope you enjoyed the festivities of new years eve

and new years day!!

can't wait to share this next year with you all!
