The Year 2010

OH my gosh! Where has this year gone!!!! With all the craziness that took place I decided to sit back eat a Chocolate Santa and recap on my year :)
It started off as usual a new semester... and my final Semester!!! Yea 2010 was the year I finished College. Only something I've been thinking about since as long as I can remember. I graduated and was thrown on my ass in to the "real world." After all that stressing and summer school it only took me about 2 months to ask myself  "Why the eff was I in such a hurry!?!" I got my first real job on June 10, working at SSI as a graphic designer.

With the new job came a new car. My 2001 yellow beetle was traded in and I must say it was sad seeing the little guy go... some great memories in that car. But as they say in with the new out with the old.

I also got a sister in law this year. My brother Orry, got married on October 30th :) In 2011 I'm going to be getting a nephew.

Sadly this December my Uncle Phil passed away. He died of cancer and it was quite the blow to our family. He was loved and he was awesome!  This is him. And yes I was a ginger baby :)

2010, although went by super fast was overall a great year. I can't wait for 2011 hope everybody has  a Merry Christmas and a great new year :)

My Christmas Wish List

In some of my spare time I like to browse the web.... in doing this I have come across several things that I am adding to my Christmas list.... enjoy :)

The first thing I found on the Cup of Jo website. This would be great for any Beatles fan. Its like a Where's Waldo except with Yoko instead. 

Another thing I'm obsessing over this year is these cute little Ipod nano wrist bands! I need a nano Ipod  as well. Not only are these super cute but convenient  as well!

Next on my wish list is of course the super cute pillows that my cousin Erin Flett makes! I love them!!! And not even because I'm related to her! Her new patterns are perfect for those in Colorado :)

Something for my Kitchen when I get my own again someday is these little bird salt and pepper shakers from ModCloth. Which is possibly one of my new favorite online stores.

And finally because I need to get back to work... are these pot holders also from Modcloth! I would love having these in my kitchen with my bird salt and pepper shakers while cooking and listening to my nano watch :) 

Today is the DAY!

Ok I have been so lazy with my blogging! But today is finally the day I'm putting up my brother's wedding pictures! Although we're not "professional" photographers Shanna and I both have a love for photography. So we were thrilled to get to shoot a wedding!  I think they turned out splendid. Enjoy!

Ink Lounge Robots and Cupcakes Oh MY!

So this weekend in another amazing adventure of Shanna and Amanda Series we went to a craft fair in Denver and ran into our screen printing friends Nicky and Stu from the Ink Lounge/ IdahoStew.  I took my screen printing class with these two and I don't think I've ever met nicer people. Not only are they super cool but they make the cutest stuff from robots to seahorses, calendars, notebooks etc. I had to buy a robot sketch pad! I almost don't want to color in it because its so cute!! But they make perfect gifts especially for those like me who are scattered brain and need to write all my ideas down or they are gone forever :) Check them out  here for some cute christmas stuff or for a screen printing class (if you in Denver) You won't regret.

WEDDING!!!!

Ok so I haven't put up photos yet but I have something better, a VIDEO!! I made this from footage from one of those flip cameras, and it didn't turn out half bad :) We had some excellent videoographers/photographers including Shanna McNear and Cody Brady and myself. Enjoy!

The Letter E

I call it the most wonderful time of the year :) Happy Shopping Season :)
