Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a beautiful holiday season.

Ours was calm and peaceful and simple.

It was wonderful.

 

 

My parents were with us for Christmas + a couple of days beforehand and after.

It was unplanned and it was lovely.

 

 

New Year's eve was spent in front of the fire

with good food, delicious cake and a movie.

 

 

Goodbye 2012.

It was a really great year for me in many ways.

My heart and soul have grown so much this past year.

I feel I am a much better person than I was a year ago.

{not that I don't have so much more growing to do}

 

And...

I finally finished a 365 project!

Though I did cheat.  But I have zero guilt over it!

There were 366 days last year and I took way more photos than that,

so I have no qualms that I added in more than 31 photos for December

so that I could finish the project.

{I probably couldn't have done it however, if it weren't for my phone and the Picfx app}

 

{the heart in the middle photo was created by the wonderful Robin Thomas}

 

I got to looking at all my photos for 2012 and found some interesting {to me} data.

Out of my 366 photos, one will find:

-a dog within 103 photos

-57 beverages {30 are coffee & 10 are alcohol}

-32 photos have something I've created in them {not including my mancub}

-I have 25 photos with my feet in them

-12 are sunrises

and

-4 have at least one taxidermied animal in them

{5 if you include the cover of Jenny Lawson's book}

 

hmmm...

I wonder what that says about me....
