2012 is off to a great start

The Mister and I are adopting a mini goldendoodle, and I'm beyond thrilled!  Every year since I was a little girl, I'd ask Santa for a puppy for Christmas.  As a grown up that's the one thing that's always remained on my list.  Albeit it's slipped from the no. 1 spot to further down the list, as I realized the responsibility of walking, housebreaking, and picking up after it, would all fall on me.  But yesterday the mister and I became our own Santa and adopted this little amazing fur ball, meet Parker!!  We get to pick him up in 6 weeks, which trust me, feels like a life time away.  Beyond excited to start this chapter in our lives and it's a fantastic start to 2012!

Other fabulous things I'm looking forward to in 2012!
~ 7 weddings (4 friends, 2 family, and 1 coordinated by the{little}details)
~ 1 engagement
~ 3 bachelorette parties
~ celebrating 3 yrs of marriage
~ celebrating my 30th birthday
~ arrival of 2 babies that we know about 

Welcome 2012

It's officially 2012, the start of a new year.  Which always brings hope for new things and experiences.  My new year's resolution complete more of the things on my 30 by Thirty list!

Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy new year!

A Golden Champagne Toast

Whether it's a night in, or a night out with your friends, girlfriends, or loved one, hope this NYE is golden.   Gold is the perfect color for any NYE event if you're hosting a wedding, a get together, or going out.  Gold is bright, shinny, and new, the perfect way to ring in the promises of a new year.  Other must-haves are cocktails, confetti, and of course champagne.  Some golden-champagne inspiration for you NYE 2011 soiree, Enjoy!

Black & White NYE Dessert Table

I love the back to basics approach to this festive NYE dessert table.  With simple and elegant black and white decor, wintry accents and yummy treats.  The takeout boxes make the perfect midnight snack container, and I adore those silver cones, so festive!
