Wow! What a week (or so)! I hope you all had a wonderful, wonderful holiday week. It was super eventful here. I’ll show you in photos…Oh, yes, I replaced my stolen camera! Sad, but YAY! To make it less depressing, I allowed myself a slight lens upgrade from my last one and I also got another, super fun lens for Christmas from my Dad. Good stuff! So…
There was Christmas.
I got boots!
Lulu stared at her new monkey, which didn’t quite fit in her stocking, for at least an hour before we got to opening them…yes, our dogs get stockings too. We have an illness.
Kyra napped. Shocker.
There was this custom ring that I just had to share.
There was another custom ring.
…for my husband. He didn’t like his wedding ring all that much, so I made him a new one. Much better.
There was truffle popcorn and game night.
Bananagrams! And, yes, my husband really spelled Poindexter.

There was New Years Eve with great friends – which I don’t have photos of. But, it was one of the most fun New Year’s Eves I can think of. Such a great way to start off the New Year.
Then, yesterday, there was the hilarious and somewhat disastrous “family photo”. In the midst of the wonderful chaos my business brought me this season, I neglected to send out Christmas cards, so we decided to do New Years cards and add a family photo. The dogs were impossible and hilarious the whole time. Here is just a small, small sample of the many outtakes…So, here’s what happened. I got the camera all set up and I got all snuggly on the ground with the dogs and first watched the camera slowly droop on my tiny and junky tripod to chop off our heads, and then Kyra decided to sit ON TOP of me and Lulu was just being a huge baby. Which, all in all, created these ridiculous photos… and these are just a few of the worst ones from our “photo shoot”. I may have to rethink this for next year : ).
So, here we are now and I’m so excited about 2012. It’s going to be a good one! And, thank YOU for making 2011 such an amazing year. My customers, fans, and readers mean the world to me. Thanks for allowing me to make you jewelry. What a lucky gal I am! I couldn’t be more grateful! Here’s to 2012!
xo,
Erin
