OhSoAntsy’s 2012

December 31, 2012

Upon visiting a few of my favorite blogs today (rougeandwhimsey and julieannart) I noticed they both recounted their 2012 in relation to their blogs and handmade businesses. I have quite a few notables from this year and I thought it would be fun to do something similar.

Here we go!

-January is of course my birthday month which is awesome but this year is also marked the 1 year anniversary of my shop!

-February I fulfilled my goal of attending my first blogging/small business conference and met some really awesome people. {Blissdom in Nashville}

 

-March I headed to Utah for the first time and snowboarded for maybe an hour. Later in the month Walker found out he got the job in Seattle.

– April I visited New Orleans for the first time and confirmed 100% that I am allergic to oysters.

-May was Walker’s last month in Texas and we lived it up!

-June Walker moved to Seattle and I checked out the city during my first time there.

-July I left my day job to pursue OhSoAntsy full time! I left Texas and moved home for the summer to spend time with friends and family.

-August I attended my 10 year high school reunion. My how time flies.

-September I moved to Seattle to be with Walker.

-October I went on my annual fall “camping trip”.

-November we celebrated a Northwest Thanksgiving with some friends (who also moved from Texas) in Oregon. My first Oregon trip.

-December marked the busiest month of my business to date. I was slammed with work and was glad to finally take a break to celebrate Christmas. This was our first Christmas living together.

 

Christmas update

I mentioned Walker and I headed out to Oregon for our Christmas this year. Before we left we celebrated our Christmas and took a few silly pictures by our tree.

-helping Walker focus the lens

-new books for Christmas (the best gifts)

-all the stockings hung at our Oregon Christmas

-laying around

-yeah awesome breakfast

-a horse friend we met on a walk

-it snowed a little

-our view of the mountains while we were there

-it was fun being entertained by kids and puppies alike

We had a great time visiting with new friends and family. Christmas was wonderful and then the aweful bug hit us all. It caught us 2 by 2 it seemed. I got it on night 3 and spent the next day on the couch recovering. Luckily I felt great by the time we had to hop on the bus to come home. Walker wasn’t as fortunate as he was feeling a bit ill on the bus but managed to make it home. We are now both feeling great and ready to party our butts off on this New Year’s Eve! Yeah!

December 25, 2012

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas with family and friends. We are in Oregon having a blast but I wanted to share a few photos from some holiday events and celebrations earlier this month.

-The trees at the conservatory in Volunteer park close to our home.

-What I ended up wearing to a Christmas party.

-A really big Christmas cactus.

-Walker and I celebrated our Christmas early this year since we were going to be out of town. He made meat pie ( a holiday tradition passed down by his grandfather), we drank wine, and opened gifts.

I’m going to take a short break from posting and let everyone enjoy the holidays, get some good relaxing time in, and get caught up on fun events and projects. I will see you all next Monday! Again, merry Christmas!
