End of a great year!

What a wonderful year!

So much has happened in this year; good and bad, but I got thru it all.

I've gained new friends (my lovely followers); as well as those outside of the Internet.

Attended some wonderful events--like the Fall 2011 Swapnista Day Party. And so many more...

---

On a personal note, my family has been extended. My younger cousin welcomed twin boys in April of this year.

I got a chance to visit some of my family members this year.
My granddad (mom's dad)

My uncle

My aunt

My mom, daughter, and me

I was able to take some much needed vacation time.



My daughter was in her 1st catalog. All taken for Cinderella's Closet Prom Collection.



And my other cousin graduated college!

Most importantly, I've learned to shop less this year...believe it or not. Shopping my closet has been quite interesting. The things I've purchased over the years and forgetting about them has been a real eye opener for me. Saving MORE money will be a resolution for 2012 (and I usually steer clear of making resolutions).

Some of my favorite outfits (by month)...
