Last Friday, a co-worker hosted a lunch time craft session. She brought all the materials and tools while we went to town with the glue dots. I discovered my creativity and we all had a great time! Look what I made

I’m looking forward to the next session…

It seems like January was a short month because the first week I only had to work for four days I did mostly home organization projects and I even got to re-organize my area at work. It is an ongoing project but it feels good to start the new year off with a clean slate. I was inspired by the book EveryGirl’s Guide to Life. I highly recommend it.

Here are some random photos from this month:

I always forget to bring out my Nikon SB-600 Speedlight for low light situations.  This picture was taken indoors at home in the evening. The light was bounced against the ceiling. What a difference it makes!

As I was uploading these photos, I realized that we spent most of the month eating out! I guess we were still in a Holiday mood. We usually like to cook at home so in February, we will be back to “normal”.

Our company “Holiday” Party was held last night at the Embassy Suites. Since it is now January, they decided to call it the Winter Party. We had a great time!

Happy New Year to All. I am excited about 2012. Cheers!

A co-worker took this photo of us. He used a Nikon D90 with a Nikon SB-600 Speedlight Flash
