Hi there! What is it about the new year that makes me want to organize, clean everything, and de-clutter? Well, that is what I have been doing these past few days, amongst other things. Since the Holiday’s are over and I am feeling lighter, well, not lighter I am 4 months prego now and baby and I are gaining some weight. Lol. But,when I clean and organize I feel my thoughts and actions are much more clear, light even & I know what I need to do. Last year I really wasn’t into organizing much, but I think I am also in the nesting phase of my pregnancy & that might have a bit to with it!
I am making some changes around my blog, our house( painting some rooms), & exercising. LIGHT LAVENDER is my new color for 2011. Can’t wait to share… when it’s done. I have also started developing a new Styling & Photography website that will be done later this week. I needed to get that done because I had a couple of very IMPORTANT deadlines I had to get in by last Friday. Which I did, and now the website will tie it all together. Keeping my fingers crossed that the website gets done!!!
I love to style and photograph outside in unexpected places. So much is going on and photography school starts on the 10th! Whewww…more on that later…Ok, I won’t bore you with it too much…

Plan purposefully. Prepare prayerfully. Proceed positively. Pursue persistently.”

Happy New Years to you! What an exciting year to look forward to! No nesting here, but I'm cleaning away the clutter and exercising! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your vignette outdoors, Lu. I am itching to get out and do some of the same in my outdoor studio but it's been pouring and is so cold here. Hear it's going to be sunny starting tomorrow though.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to be back in your photography class. Know how you feel, I begin an art class on the 10th too. Enjoy sweetie and of course, take care of yourself and baby!

ReplyDeleteLulu- I am always happy to come here and see what you are up to. I love that you are feeling so energized and "light" in this New Year. God bless you and your little one! Hugs-Diana
ReplyDeleteI am excited to see your new lavendar color. I love that color but it is hard to get right. I have purple transferware on my greige walls and it looks pretty..I want to do a lavendar toile on the kitchen walls!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and it is lovely ~ Love the pictures of the suitcases by the tree. Happy New Year to you and yours.

That sounds like a nice, crisp and happy color! Looking forward to seeing it. I went into nesting phase with my first child 36 years ago. Needless to say, I'm still in it!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
You are AMAZING girl, so well organized and bursting with exciting plans (not to mention a BABY!!!).
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you're up to in the year ahead!
XOXO,

Hi Lulu! Amy at Maison Decor sent me over here...She said you mentioned light lavender as your color for the year. I'm also into lavender right now and I recently posted about wanting to redo a desk/hutch in a muted lavender...I'm looking forward to your posts so that I can get a good visual before I tackle such a large piece.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!

ReplyDeletethe white suitcases with the frenchy chair and candles is so visually yummy... ! and, can't wait to see what you do with lavender. in the movie "the 40 year old virgin", the woman in the lead role, i can't remember her name, but her house is done in different shades of lavender with cream trim, and it's fabulous!
ReplyDeletecindy
I'm so crazy about organization! When I was pregnant it was just SCARY! Lavender sounds beautiful! Good luck with that website!

ReplyDeleteI'm going to write that quote on my inspiration board...(and maybe even attempt to say it 5x fast) lol

OK, kiddo is back in school, and now I'm feeling ready to reorganize.
ReplyDeleteI always feel like I'm wasting precious out of school time when I clean/organize when she's home!
Love your light lavendar - can't wait to see how you incorporate it!
Hugs sweet Lu - T.
You're pregnant?! Congratulations!!
