2012 was a great year. There were personal and family milestones (adoption/foster care registration) and professional ones (fun blogger collaborations and making dance costumes). I have loved sharing with you in this little blog and am grateful for all of my readers’ support. I’m excited about even bigger things to come in 2013. Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas! & Giveaway Winner
Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you are having a wonderful day. I am respected my husband’s wishes and kept the whole Christmas affiar very simple. Christmas is not as big in Japan as the U.S. It is more of a holiday geared towards couples than families here. As Andy wanted, we made Russian tea cake cookies and went to see the Christmas lights at Miyagase lake. I only had a very small fake displayed in the house! I am a good wife. We skipped the roasting mashmalow part since Andy doesn’t know how to make fire and I feared that he might burn down this little Japanese town house.
Also, thank you so much for entering the Christmas giveaway! I had fun reading every comment and your goals. I have to do this again sometime!
I picked the winner using the random number generator and the winner is…… (drum roll)
Amber H. of Wamber’s Whimsies! Congrats Amber, I will be emailing you for the details later.
December Weekend Review
{Went to the dance event where I made dancers’ costumes. Youtube video coming up soon!}
{Holiday season is full on! Blueberry pie from last weekend’s Christmas party}
{Rearranged my sewing table a bit – The flower lights are from Pamela Angus, the washi tape folder is from 3 coins}
{Made some Christmas stockings using scraps}
{Festive mood everywhere in town! Whimsical wooden music box at a small shop in mall}
{Wearing these Sam Edelman booties nonstop. They are versatile and comfortable}
Why does this time of the year seem to go so quick?! I had a nice weekend with lots of time with family and friends. How was yours?
