January so far

Well I just disappeared there for a bit didn't I?

I have wanted to post for awhile but I have a 2016 video that I wanted to post first before I posted anything else on the blog. But, being the huge procrastinator that I am, I am still working on the video.

So, I am just going to go with it. When I get to finishing the video I will post it, but for now lets talk about how fast January is going. I cannot believe that the month is already halfway over!

• This month, I bought a mini Moleskine diary with the intention of using it as a daily mini art journal of sorts. Having never done art journaling before, it's all so very new for me. I don't know how to sketch or draw so the small page size is just what I need. I am looking forward to filling up all the little pages this year.

• The weather has been quite nice here in the desert. Other than a very wet Winter storm last weekend and another that will be here this weekend, it has been business as usual around here. The leaves just started changing color on the trees this month too.



• All has been well with the kitties this month too. I cannot believe that next month it will be a year that we have had Olive!



How's January going for you so far?

2016: A Year in Photos

I have always posted my year in review posts after the year has ended. I don't like posting them in December because the year is not yet over. Who knows what will happen during the last month of the year.

Instead of my usual year-end photo in review post, this year I made a video showing most of the photos I shared online in 2016 and I also included my most played song for each month.

In January, there was the new Star Wars and we got mountain snow. I got to play with my new Keurig and FitBit One.

In February, I celebrated my birthday by getting a new kitten. She ended up being more of a shaved, young cat. But, she was still adorable! I had a super green thumb and visited what I think is the largest book store I have ever seen.

In March, I started coloring my first coloring book page since I don't know when. There was a lot of new kitty time too.

April brought a new kitty friend for Olive. Now there are two!

The month of May was filled with lots and lots of new kitty time. The newest cat was very sick and most of my time was spent dealing with that.

I spent June creating Index Cards and getting to know the new cats.

July was filled with lots and lots of rain. Oh and cats.

In August, I said goodbye to my high school drama teacher (he was one of my favorites). I got to go see Silversun Pickups in concert and took a lot of photos for The August Break project.

September was all work and rain and my wedding anniversary. Oh and cats.

In October, I colored some more and I voted. Not that it did any good.

November was filled with a lot of outdoor time and by outdoor time, I mean weeding. November had some awesome clouds. Oh and cats.

In December, I got new glasses. I do NOT like them. I didn't even share a photo of them, but I really needed to get that out there. They are not good. The World's largest Santa moved in next door and this year we decided to put up a Christmas tree. It didn't last very long at all.

Thanks for watching.
