Easter 2011 - Lunch and Cookie Decorating!
I wasn't raised in a religious family. And as much as I am aware that this will offend people, celebrating Easter really isn't much more than a commercial holiday to me - and I love to have an excuse to buy brightly colored decorations and get my family together!

Valentine's Day Brunch 2011
Last year Valentine's Day landed on a Saturday. In lieu of going out with the masses for a meal, I decided to throw a small Valentine's Day party. I told everyone to bring Valentine's cards for everyone, just like in elementary school. I made heart shaped envelopes and covered the table with stickers and ribbons and craft papers to let the guests get creative and decorate their card holders...
I was a little surprised that everyone got in to it at least a little bit - it was awesome! We paired that with a Valentine's Day themed White Elephant Gift Exchange. The gifts included everything from a giant blow up heart to a pink stuffed teddy bear named Poopsie... We had fun, so I decided to do it again this year.
Because we are all responsible adults and have to wake up early on Mondays, we had our party on a Sunday... Before everyone arrived, I set out some craft papers, stickers, ribbons, scissors, glue, pens, tape, etc.

We packed up most of the supplies we used last year in one box, so it was easy to pull it out again this year. I bought these cute foam glitter heart stickers at a sale after Valentine's Day last year and kept them for us to use this year.

Why Blog?
I am typically a very private person, so starting a blog is definitely challenging my comfort zone! I have avoided Facebook and My Space and social networking sites for the most part, yeah, I have accounts, but I rarely log on... I am looking forward to sharing my interests and opening up my little world - hopefully it will be a joyful process!
I live in Seattle, Ballard to be exact, and I am newly married to my significant other of 7 years... We finally got married last August, but we have lived together for about 6 years. We have a very sweet and sometimes overly affectionate cat named Coco. We don't plan to have children, not that I don't love the little ones, but I would probably be a better auntie than I would be a Mom!
