New year, thank goodness!!

Happy 2006, and good riddance to 2005, at least as far as I'm concerned. I have to say that on the whole, with the exception of a couple really great things (getting my braces off, my nephew being born) it wasn't my favorite year. But I have a good feeling about 2006, and I'm looking forward to whatever might happen.

The year started off the right way, with a trip to Boston and a rockin' NYE party at Sacha's house. Toni and I found the COOLEST balloons on the planet and managed to get the last set. We bought the display and while we were waiting for it to be reinflated, two other people came up and asked for them. But we won! They were ours! It was a great party and a great (but short) trip.

Now back in Lansing, I decided to look into some organization for the new year. We'll do a photo progression here:

1. My stash of yarn as it was this morning. Not very pleasing to the eye, and not very conducive to seeing what I have.

2. The new bookshelf I got on clearance at Target Friday night that maimed me Saturday morning when I bent over and caught the corner of it with my head (it was in a different location than it is now)


3. Stash + bookshelf = way prettier and less space consuming way to display what I have spent probably far too much money on in the first place.

Now I know that according to some yarn buying professionals this is merely a weak attempt at a stash but what can I say? I'm young and I have limited space and money. :)

Anyway, here's to a good year!
