A LAST MINUTE TRIP TO

SUNSET... beautiful every night!

Went to the spa and got massaged & scrubbed.  Seriously... Check it out... AWESOME!!

FABULOUS DINNER (on the beach) AT

Cafe des Artistes Del Mar

(by andrea)

All around restful and relaxing time!

Just in time to get cracking on some big projects at the house.

Jon didn't go on the trip and did a few things around the house that I need to post.

Happy 6 months anniversary in our house...
Next thing is a BIG LIST!

This weeks (lack of) progress...

(mom relaxing in 60 degrees Dec08)

We haven't done much this week (again).  Still settling back into the routine.  I have, on the other hand, been relaxing and re-energizing.  I saw this on Independent Lens last night and the songs have been in my head all day...especially this one.  I might have to add it to my latest playlist.  Meetings in Denver all day tomorrow, making a big list Friday and will have project photos very soon!

STUCK...

I'm ready to get back in the swing of things, but I'm stuck.  I am ready to cover the walls in the living room but I'm not sure how I'm going to blend the different styles.

Here's what I have:

Can't change anything on this one.

Could change the mat and need to change the frame.

I would call the overall style I'm going for as mid-century/natural.  We're going with bold accents throughout the house and a neutral base. 

Here's what I like:

On taking a break...

We saw a lot of this,

We saw this Baby Santa and many more kids,

We drank some beer with these dorks + 6 more,

And, we ate some delicious burgers and malts

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!
