What a year it has been!
I started this little blog barely over a year ago for my 40th birthday.
The learning curve has been steep and the adventure joy filled. As I look back over the year and think about all the small victories and moments of frustration, I know for sure I wouldn’t do it any different. I’ve learned about myself, my friends, my style and my calling. I sincerely hope you all have enjoyed what this little place on the web has brought to the table.
I plan on spending time in the new year reevaluating my mission, my goals and what this space looks like. I’d love your input.

So grab a cup of coffee, settle in and enjoy a year in review!

Love your sense of style. That necktie wreath is fabulous. Now I know what I can make with some of my Dad’s neckties. He had a ton and passed a few years ago and we held on to some.
