Happy New Year everyone! 2011 was a great year;
we bought our 2nd home and SOLD our first (yay! that took FORever), I graduated with my masters degree, and we just finished off the year giving birth to my beautiful baby girl...
I am excited to see what 2012 will bring...I look forward to many more posts - I have learned so much from you all (teacher blogs, DIY, and crafty/cooking blogs) and have grown in many ways. Here's to a new year!!

I leave you with this:

My husband and I will be toasting into the new year...but notice the gravity-defying champagne??? hehe...I made sparkling jello!! yay! Those of you who don't "know" me yet...I LOVE to be themed...do you remember my pumpkin waffles and reindeer pancakes?? hehe. I'm wondering if I need to change my blog's name to something about being a teacher and being crafty-like?? lol. I got the recipe from Family Fun...check it out {HERE}.

Be safe and see you next year!
