a year in review: fromwhereistood

I have been officially off from work and on my little stay-cation break for about three days now, and I must admit that I could really get used to this feeling! Scott and I took a much needed grocery trip to the store yesterday so that we could fill up our fridge with yummy things to enjoy on our week off together. When you don't have much planned though, the time seems to really go by fast!

Speaking of fast, this year flew by in a jiffy! Although 2012 did not feel half as busy as 2011, I still enjoyed the moments that were made and experiences that were given.  I was able to concoct a little review from some of my Instagram photos of the various places I've stood throughout the past two years. It's fun to see where life brings you in a years time...

As far as plans for this next week off, I don't have much planned, and I plan on keeping it that way. ;) Hopefully I am able to sneak in a little photography adventure though {while I have some free time to do so}! Until then, have yourselves a lovely weekend.

New Year's Resolution

{ Happy New Year! }

New year resolutions have always been difficult for me to stick with.  I guess maybe it's because I have always chosen something along the lines of dieting.  But I have decided that this year's goals for me will be different and will hopefully expand my creative side.

2012 Goals:

1) Learn how to use a sewing machine.

2) Use the sewing machine to up-cycle thrifted clothes!

3) Always try to finish what you started (i.e., reading a book, making + mailing a card). -- I am the queen of unfinished projects.

4) Attempt at least 5 different DIY projects and document.

5) Be organized. Plain and simple (so you would think).

6) Improve this blog of mine. 

7) Take more photos!

8) Continue to cook more healthy meals at home. 

I hope for those of you that read this, continue to have a wonderful year ahead! Happy beginnings!
