As promised ...

Look! Look! I'm posting on consecutive days! My 2009 non-resolution just may be kicking in early. Yep, I'm going to try — try! — to post much more frequently in the New Year. It would be nice if my supposed co-author (ahem) would help out. Maybe he'll strike up a non-resolution of his own, and then this blog would be a really good read (or at least, there would be more stuff to read; I'll settle for quantity over quality).
In the meantime, for your viewing pleasure I have this to share:

Lavender therapy bag with lovely cherry blossom print slipcover.

The bag sans slipcover.

And here's what my beautiful and talented sisters made me for Christmas:

Not the best representation of the beautiful framed photo from Julie. She took the photo at a park she visited whilst in France this summer.

Cute hand-painted sign from Carolyn (please excuse the horrible wallpaper — clearly, not my choice).

Carolyn strikes again: Can you believe this hand-painted mug featuring a portrait of my favorite cat? And yes, Caddy's eyes really are that neon green.

So, promises kept! That's a good way to start 2009. Happy New Year ... anything's got to be better than 2008, right?
