31 December 2011 in Miscellaneous, My Photos

Dear 2011,

You’ve been a peach. You’ve brought me so many amazing adventures and new friends near and far.

Sure there have been headaches and heart breaks, but let’s not focus on the bad. There’s always a silver lining, and that’s what I’m choosing to hang onto during the last few hours of 2011, and into the new year – embracing those bright and shining moments throughout the past year that have put the biggest most dorkiest smile on my face.

Finding hidden beauty in whatever I might.

 

Traveling and experiencing as much of that great big world out there as I possibly could.

 

Persevering through a few rough semesters at university. I love what I do, and I can’t wait to start a new chapter in 2012 after graduation.

 

Bidding farewell to glasses!

 

Dying my hair red! 11 months and going strong. I think it’s getting serious. ;)

 

Made some bunny friends…

… and some wallaby friends…

… and some koala friends, too. And the real people kind, but they’re not quite as fluffy.

 

Experienced many incredible sights from lands far away.

Enough to fill many-a memory bank.

 

Went to my first opera at, none other than, the Sydney Opera House!

And took in as much art, music, architecture, etc. as I could possibly manage.

Rekindled my love of painting.

 

Hung out in dresses at any and all opportunities.

 

Continued to craft up a storm and be a DIY machine.

Began getting the finishing touches in place on my humble little abode.

Discovered and fell in love with a home away from home.

 

Began preparations for a new and exciting year ahead.

 

And now, here’s to lots of huge smiles in 2012! I hope yours are extra tooth-y. ;) Wishing you love, muffins, sparkles, bunnies, and all sorts of other lovely things… Happy New Year to all of you amazing blogging friends.

xo, Krissy.

Happy 2012 !! Love the pics of your humble abode – looks amazing. And trust me, you are not missing anything down here is Oz (well, Melbourne anyway) as we are gasping for cool air in 40-degree heat (over 100 something??)

Chs,
Jen

Thanks! The apt is still a work in progress (and probably always will be), but it finally feels like home. I plan to post a home tour sometime in the new year. :) Just have one last thing to finish up first.

Eek, I will definitely take our cold weather over that heat! Yikes! When it gets to even the low 20′s Celsius around here, I want to die! I love Australia, but I don’t think the climate would agree with me for long.

Anyhow, best wishes in the new year, Jen! xo.

lovely year recap :) and such pretty photos! coincidentally, I used to have that same butterfly necklace when I was little, ha :] Happy New Year, Krissy <3

Krissy on January 3rd, 2012

Did you really? That’s awesome! They must have been the “thing” since my best friend gave me and our two girlfriends those butterfly necklaces one year as a sort of “friendship” necklace. Mine’s super tarnished, but I still wear & love it.

Happy new year, Naomi! Have a good one! xo.
