festive hat wearing

'Tis the season to wear photoshopped hats on your own blog.

God bless the people in my life—all of them, including you, reader—who made the last half of 2008 the best six months I've had in a very long time. It's your investment into my life that has made me hopeful for my future.

I have a lot to be thankful for tonight.

crafty wonderland

For those of you who don't live in Portland, it's been a mess here, at least compared to what we're used to. Temperatures in the teens and twenties equal frozen ice roads in the Great Northwest, and we don't know how to drive on this stuff, so we stay home. It is definitely pretty though, and a fun change!

After all this time I still have no idea what this Starbucks marketing campaign is trying to convey!

What the heck is this white stuff falling from the sky?
