An assignment, nay, a PROJECT.

Let's get this board moving again! I love to hear about everyone's lives (pictures are a bonus). I know that I think about posting every once in a while but then the thought of writing about EVERYTHING that's happened since the last post is so overwhelming that I end up making cupcakes instead. So, I propose we get the ball rolling with an assignment...nay...a PROJECT.

We love projects, don't we? I was thinking anyone could post project topics like "your top 5 books", "best recipe you've made in the past week",...ooh, the ideas are limitless!!

Project #1: Tell us/show us 5 things that are new(-ish) in your life. The could be photos of goods, a quip from YouTube, your newest creation, and so forth to infinity.

I'll start.

1. Aaron and I made a gingerbread house for Christmas...it follows our ideal property plan.

Aaron made a breadstick shed; it even has the notches so that the 'logs' fit into each other.



Lots of deer on the property.



I forgot to take good pictures of the deer stand.

2. A few of my New Year Resolutions are to call people who are away more often, respond to emails as soon as I get them, to eat at min 1 'dive' per month, and to start composting.

So far I feel like my first 3 resolutions are well under way!


3. I'm loving celebrating holidays, especially since some of them involve food I've never tried before.

We celebrated Chinese New Year for the first time since I've moved away from home. It was really fun to make some dishes that we used to eat at home. My original menu plan featured 4 dishes, and just kept growing until it settled around a gazillion dishes on the actual day.

Hanukkah festivities were also celebrated - I learnt that I'm terrible at dreidelling, and that oil plays a very large role in this holiday (hurrah!).

4. There was a bout where there was so much snow that we couldn't help but play in it

Late night revelry.

5. I have 2 pairs of earrings that I'm loving right now (impromptu Photo Booth photos!)

One was a present for myself, and the other was from one of my favourite people :)

Okay ladies, your turn! Since I know that some of you work better with a deadline, I'm going to give this project 1 week! Due date Fri, Feb. 25. (If you can come up with a doctor's note, I am pretty flexible with excuses of tardiness....)
