New Name, New Blog Look... Same person!

I Promise!! This is the last time I will do this to you! I have a very good reason to change my Blog name!

I am starting a NEW BUSINESS!! Called LaNella Designs.

Whats in the Name you might ask?

My grandmother's name was Antonella (Italian) she was a very creative inspiring lady.. so I took the Nella part from there and the "La" means "the" in Italian :)

I haven't got all of the wrinkles ironed out for my business, but I hope to have it up and running by the spring!!

Please check out my new FaceBook Page and "like" it!!

I love all of you sweet readers! Thank You for sticking with me!!

New Years Eve... 2013.. What I did..

OK I had THE BEST New Years Eve ever!!

Seriously.. I did.

This year I spent the night over at my friends house. The Night started off with a tasty dinner... Then a brownie while we watched Decoy Bride.

When there where 10 minutes before midnight we did our hair in Top Knots and Danced...

At 12:00AM we went running around the house Yelling "Happy New Year" and blew some party/noise makers...

Then we Ran outside and screamed at the top of our lungs and Hugged each other... oh and I locked us out of her house.. so we knocked on her parents window and asked them to let us in :) (way to start off the new year)

After we skyped our friend in Washington for 2 hours and had a grand time!

It is now 2:45am and you would think we would go to bed... but NO.. we just keep having fun!

We made Ice Cream with strawberries, nuts, chocolate sauce, brownie, and cherries... and we watched...

My Best Friend's Wedding!!

Finally at 4:45am.. we crashed in bed and talked till 5am and fell asleep!!

Oh.. and got up at 10:30am and ate a tasty breakfast :)

So... that was my New Year's Eve.... For the rest of the day i drank many cups of coffee...

It was definitely crazy.. we had lots of fun... it was a once in a life time thing!!

Note: I don't have any pictures yet because I left my camera at her house.. as soon as I get it I will post pictures :)

How did You spend New Years Eve??

It's 2013!! and a New Years Resolution

Happy 2013! It is totally crazy that I am saying it is 2013 :) It feels like yesterday that is was 2012... :)

I had an amazing night last night Welcoming the New Year!!

Today I thought I would be fun and post my New Year's Resolution :)

So here it is..

- Exercise More.
My brother has promised to run with me, so from now on I want to Run at least 3 times a week! also do more sit ups, push ups and weights.

- Stop Procrastinating!
I want to stop putting things I really don't want to do off!! I need to just DO them :)

- Spend more time with my siblings!! This is an absolute MUST!!

- Look at people with God's eyes... no matter who they are!
- Make more lists and finish them!

- Start my business idea going.. and have a business by the end of the year!

- Go to New York!

- Love unconditionally, Laugh Often, LIVE life!

- Most of all... Follow God's will for My Life!

2012 was a VERY hard year for me.. I had to learn some hard lessons, I had to go through some tough situations, and I cried a lot!

Here is to an AMAZING YEAR!!

What is your Resolution?
