Hodge Podge - Mix Match

FIRST .. Happy Near Year every one! - it's 2011 and i'm so excited - i love the 'official' beginning of beginnings - and i'm a true believe in "start overs" and "redo's"!! - hope every one is rejuvenated and ready to kick some butt in 2011 like I am - BIG THINGS AHEAD FOR ME! *wooohooooo*

SECOND .. on a bum note - i was suppose to be in the middle of the Caribbean right now for 2 weeks - my 2 week cruise vacation had to be postponed with all the "happenings" in my family *boooooo* - but i turely believe it was meant to be, and when i finally get aboard the boat, it's gonna be the best cruise ever!

*postive mind = positve results*

ANYWAY - back to blogging ..
a bunch of 'loves' i'm feelin' big time - see below:



i seriously wanna adopt this little guy - my Dad in college actually had a monkey!!! - yes a real monkey, well it was actually his roommates, but how awesome, right? - i want a monkey!


best advice i can give any one for 2011 !


i've been obsessing over crowns lately - i need some for my 'palace'!


mini grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup - genius! - will have at my next cocktail party!



in love with this 'bun' of sorts - i'm all about the imperfections of perfection


gypsy-boho vibes - ALL ERIKA! - love their looks!


beyond in love with this sweatshirt!


best dog house evah!

And the crowns! I know I've seen that pic before... where is it from?? xoxo Hope 2011 is everything you wish for!

    Love that sweater too, love. Too bad about your cruise, but...maybe were kept safe from something. I think your attitude is great. I think positive as well. Life is so much better that way! Wow...a monkey. I'm scared of monkeys...silly I know. But, no, I am.
