Happy New Year!

Happy 2012. It's really hard to believe a new year is here. I remember so clearly how the world freaked out about Y2K and now it's more than a decade later. Time goes by so fast. I'm not much into new year's resolutions, but I will put it on record that I'm planning to spend this year doing a couple of things I've been procrastinating on for far too long...getting fit, eating healthier and traveling more (including a trip to Japan).

I'll also be kicking off the new year by jumping back into blogging. The end of last year was a very busy one for me but things have calmed down a bit and I'm looking forward to sharing more of my kitchen adventures with you! My camera memory card is completely full, so I've got lots to post, including some other craft projects I've been getting into, including homemade vanilla extract, lavender eye pillows (sewn by hand!) and homemade body butters and scrubs. I decided to make almost all of our Christmas presents this year and really enjoyed both the making and giving of everything.

Bye for now...
