Have a wonderful weekend

Happy Friday, friends, and Happy (almost!) New Year! Can you believe 2011 is almost over? Are you excited for 2012? What are your plans for the weekend? We’re getting together with some friends to celebrate the holidays — it’s sort of nice to have another holiday gathering after Christmas to look forward to! I hope you enjoyed the more fun, light-hearted posts this week. Next week, we’ll be back with your regularly scheduled programming (like Letters To My Future Husband and MEMO TO MEN), but in the meantime, here are my favorite finds from the wonderful Web…

Oh, I love sparkly purses!

Dear Snow: Where are you?

A fruit-of-the-month club!

Isn’t this modern chair calendar cool?

Which Twitter type are you?

Awww alert: Cats in party hats!

So romantic.

How perfect is this Victorian-style umbrella?

I could eat holiday cookies all year.

This would make an awesome wedding gift — simple and meaningful.

Awesome Etsy prints.

Ellen is running a great special-needs parenting feature on her blog!

Bathroom makeover.

Do you take winter trips?

Don’t you love all these necklaces?

How many of these books have you read?

Mustache sticks make any party better!

Good how-to tips for keeping your New Year’s resolution.

Congrats to Sandy on her new bundle of joy!

And congrats to former Glamour magazine blogger Meredith Bodgas on the launch of her new blog Merital Bliss! Follow her adventures from bridal to cradle!

Do you make New Year’s resolutions?

Confession: I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with New Year’s resolutions. When I was younger, it seemed so easy to come up with those grand plans that I was going to accomplish over the next 12 months. Tell Crush Boy (finally!) how I felt, for example. And most years, when December 31 rolled around and I realized that I’d forgotten what my resolution even was in the first place, I resigned myself to the fact that resolutions and I just weren’t friends.

Two years ago, I wrote of just wanting to be happy. And honestly, this sounds like a refreshingly perfect way to approach the coming year, doesn’t it?

So, friends, do you make New Year’s resolutions? Are they usually the same every year? What is your resolution this year? What will you miss most about 2011? What are you excited about in 2012? xoxo

P.S. The top 10 cities for ringing in the New Year!

Etsy Love: Sparkly New Year’s Eve flutes

I love these hand painted champagne flutes (in blue and pearl shades), but since I don’t drink, here’s a fun twist I came up with for New Year’s Eve merriment: Toast to some bubbly root beer. Don’t you love the glittery snowflake design, friends? Perfect! xoxo

Happy Holidays!

Happy Friday and Happy Holidays to you all, my dear friends. Here’s to a wonderfully relaxing weekend of peace and joy spent with family and friends. I’m sending you giant hug through the computer. Can you feel it? I’ll be eating lots of sweets this weekend watching holiday movies (I haven’t seen Home Alone in ages…). I’ll see you all on Monday, but in the meantime, here are my favorite finds from the wonderful Web…

What made you happy this week?

Mad Men gift guide = AWESOME!

Gorgeous holiday hair here + here.

And some glitter nail polish.

The greatest rock & roll Christmas songs.

A great how-to for enjoying the holidays if you’re single.

Genius: Snow in a can!

Happy one-year blogiversary, Lindsay!

Wouldn’t you love to go manatee watching?
