To 2012.

For the past couple of weeks, I've dabbled with the idea of a blog post or two. I do have a handful of updates that I'd love to share. First, I've begun stamping again. After a few years away, I couldn't be happier to revel in the creativity my (ten years worth of) supplies provide me. There is a cool serenity found when one cranks up the country music, closes their childhood bedroom door and decides that tempting turquoise really does work well with pretty in pink. I no longer know what patterned papers are in fashion nor when the next Stampin' Up catalog comes out, but I do know that my family members and friends still enjoy receiving a handmade card.

I've also found joy in physical exercise and healthy cooking for the first time in my entire life. I've taken up yoga and dabbled in corefusion. I made chocolate chip cookie dough hummus. I stock my fridge with almond milk. Who knew?

I even found a type of law I like (government contracts/real property) and received a full time job offer after the bar. Somehow, I truly became aware that adulthood is upon me. Whether I like it or not.

I realized the importance of old friends, but also of new.

So, with that. I leave you with a simple card, which I made yesterday. I hope all is well with all of you. Please, please, please post some of your life updates!

Happy Stamping,

Elyssa
