looking at the tree

It’s just a small freshening up, but in case you didn’t notice there is a new animation in my header, a cleaned up sidebar, and a footer with something appropriate for a foot. I hope you all have had a wonderful holiday season. I know I have enjoyed some extra time with Mom and W [...]

I’m ready to tie a ribbon on 2011 and put it on the shelf. I can’t wait to open up the fresh start of 2012. Recapping all of 2011 feels exhausting and overwhelming so I decided to make it easy. If you haven’t done a recap yet feel free to go this route. Take the [...]

Right in front of me

by Dresden December 21, 2011
