Up and Coming New Year

              Wishing everyone's family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I've been just awful at keeping up with posting on this blog, but tonight I'm finally going to sit down (while the clothes are in the wash and the dishes are drying in the sink) to fill everyone in on what has been going on this month. So first off, huge news the boyfriend and I are currently shopping around for houses and we have found one that we really, really LOVE! Fingers crossed friends!! The bakery did very well this holiday season even tho we did have a new manager the team held it together and made some money! I also got to go a bit more creative than past years with the cakes and pull apart cupcake platters. All and all it was stressful but fun and we survived (and no one had a heart attack this year!). What costume have I made of late? Well you see...

 

 The Hobbit was great! Not everything was the way I imagined it to be but then again everyone can't really imagine the somethings all the time. I loved it, I want to see it again and I will be purchasing the DVD and soundtrack because once again it was out of the world. Sadly tho these are the only photos I have and well they are not very detailed so the plan is to have a photo shoot but after the holidays and New Year is over (and not raining maybe snow but not rain). The costume itself came out really well not bad for three weeks of work and all the materials I purchased were on discount and/or on sale. Tho I still need to finish the bow and quiver. Now a bad little costume to end 2012 with. 

This was last year in December we took a family trip to Disney for my older sister's birthday, she went this year too with my mum. The boyfriend and I didn't have enough money in time to go but next year we are! I already started the fund! Figured it was Christmas-y and all. OH! I got new water colors for X-mas and I've been drawing and painting so be sure to check out the art section and the cakes, I don't want to pat myself on the back but the desserts this Christmas at the Family dinner were awesome! Plus I made waay to much!

I still can not believe that its going to be 2013 so soon, in the works of a master list of things that need to get done this year. Now that I think about it with a house being purchased (and its going to need some love and tender care in the beginning) everything is going to be pushed back. Plus I need a set convention list for the year too, to take time off of work. I do believe I get three weeks paid vacation time this year, which is pretty flipping sweet.

 Merry Christmas for Kobie Beef and Angelus

(the only two brave enough to wear the hats)
