My two words for the year ahead are balance and aliveness... I think they both reflect where I am in my journey through life.. I try not to make resolutions just once a year. I prefer to do them all year long! What about you guys? Any resolutions or words to live by this new year?
Look at this AMAZING cone that my dear friend Karin made for me! This girl is going through chemo and she takes the time to make me a cone to match my scrap room! She is freaking amazing and I adore this cone sooo much.. Can you see the swarvoski crystal hanging off the end and the one in the heart? ..They are so pretty!! It is also lined with vintage music sheets... THANK YOU KARIN!!
Road Trip! I just got back from a road trip with my bestest buddy Shanna... She took me to her old stomping ground in Northern California for a girl's bonding trip before she moves to Colorado.
We stayed at her parents house..they were so sweet to us and cooked us the yummiest foods..I think I gained 5 pounds on this trip! Here is the view from their balcony:
We went to a forest in Mill Valley and climbed a set of stairs called the DIPSEA stairs. There are over 850 in all.. straight up.. I am happy to say we made it !
This sign in the middle of the woods cracked me up!
We also got a chance to go to the wine country..this was our favorite vineyard.. Ferrari-Carano..the grounds felt like we were in Tuscany...
Well you are all current on my life! I am off to check out everybody's blogs and see what shannigans you have been up to this holiday season!!

Beautiful cone Dana!! And, your trip up to NOCAL sounds fun - where were you?? I live up here too, and I love the beauty of it!!! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
I've been to Ferrari Carano winery several times & it is absolutely GORGEOUS! (And their wine is fantastic! :-)
We actually got married out there 8 years ago at Chateau Souverain Winery (which has since been bought out by Coppola & is now called Rosso & Bianco).
I really LOVE it out there! :-)
