This year I opted to do my own calendar — and very last minute. Last year I picked up a calendar a couple months into the year, and I wasn’t going to repeat history this year. I wanted something simple + small and came up with one that I shared on Instagram a few days ago. With your response, I have decided to make it available in my Shop for a limited time! So if you haven’t picked up a calendar just yet, here’s your chance! You’ll find it here: Mini 2013 Desktop Calendar.

Just recently I’ve had the honor of getting one of my brides’ weddings featured on the lavish Canadian wedding blog, WedLuxe — along with my stationery. What a thrill! You might remember the couple’s stationery + wedding video that I put up on the blog last September, but in case you forgot, here’s a refresher for you with photos from the couple’s wedding photographer, Alex Albojer of Life Images.
But what you didn’t get to see last time was all the paper goods that I got to put together for the couple’s reception. And goodness, was this wedding beautiful! The flowers were absolutely gorgeous (done up by the talented Sweet Woodruff) and I loved the mix of gold, silver, and pink in all the details.

I was hoping to get back to blogging earlier this week, but I caught a little cold over the New Year weekend, so I took it easy this week in hopes I would get better sooner if I did. So things will be back to normal starting Monday instead.
So how were your Christmas + New Year celebrations? My husband’s birthday is just three days before Christmas, so things were pretty packed. We had a little party at our place with our friends to celebrate his birthday, two Christmas Eve family gatherings, and a fun trip to Sunriver, Oregon for the New Year weekend with my family and some friends. Enjoyed every bit of it.
1 My husband made me a latte to keep me going as I wrapping up the last of the Christmas presents. And surprise, it wasn’t just any latte, this one had a snowman in it!
2 With my husband’s birthday so close to Christmas, I couldn’t resist wrapping up his presents in Christmas cheer.
3 The views were gorgeous on Mt. Bachelor.
4 I bought a loaf of walnut apple raisin bread at a local bakery to enjoy on vacation.
5 We spent the whole weekend working away at this one puzzle. We eventually finished it, but long past our predicted finish date.
6 On our way back home, we stopped by the famous Sisters Coffee Co. in Sisters, Oregon for a cup of coffee and an almond croissant.

I’ll be taking the rest of the year off to enjoy all the Christmas festivities that are coming up and our New Year’s weekend getaway. So I’ll wish you all a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year a little early! I’ll be posting little things here and there of what I’m up to over on Instagram and Facebook. See you all next year!
