Happy New Year!!

Hello! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and shared your New Year’s Eve with someone you love. We were blessed to have a very nice and relaxing Christmas. Lots of baking, cooking, laughing, and good stuff like that. I have some pictures and recipes to share with you — will post them soon. New Years Eve was an especially happy day for us. I am so thankful for my life, all the things I am blessed to have, and the people that make my life so happy - especially my husband Josh. I love you honey! 
Did you eat the traditional New Year’s Day southern meal? I hope so because otherwise you won’t be blessed with luck, health and prosperity this year! 
I dutifully fulfilled my southern roots tradition. Well, I have to admit…I didn’t cook hog’s jowls. Do you blame me??!! Instead I made a delicious ham with a honey and brown sugar glaze. Much yummier than hog’s jowls. Ugh. I can barely type that without feeling a little sick. Bleeaaaahhh!!! It’s so funny that I feel that I have to do this every year. Any other time of the year I would not consider cooking this meal. But on New Years Day I have to make this meal. Otherwise I think I’d feel uneasy. I have to admit that I also feel uneasy if I spill salt — I have to toss some over my shoulder to resolve it. Aren’t superstitions funny? Do you observe any superstitions?
Did you make any New Year resolutions? I have a few. I hope I stick to them - you know how all that goes. Here it is: 1) Update this site more often. I’m truly sorry that I’ve neglected you. I will try to be better about updating you with news and photos. Promise. 2) Be more organized. 3) Use my time more wisely. 4) Get back in the gym regularly. I thought of this movie when I was pondering my resolutions. Here’s an example of her hilarious resolutions, “This Year’s Resolutions: Stop smoking. Stop drinking. Find inner poise. Go to the gym three times a week. Don’t flirt with the boss. Reduce thighs. Learn to love thighs. Forget about thighs. Stop making lists.” Hahahaaa! Love it! Note to self: must watch that movie soon.
Things are moving along nicely for Evitt & Co. The last time I updated you I was preparing for a craft fair and an open-house. The open-house was great. Thanks Mitzi! I had a great time and sales were much more than I expected. On the other hand the craft fair was kind of a bust. Unfortunately it rained that day — and that equals poor turn out for people. Such a bummer after all the work to get inventory stocked up and setup the booth. On a positive note I had a great time sharing a booth with Lindsay and saw a couple of people I haven’t seen in awhile so it’s all good. The verdict is still out on whether or not I will continue participating in craft fairs. I will participate in a large one in March so hopefully that will be a better experience. I’ll let you know when I have more details on that.
I’m very excited to announce that I will have a website launched by the beginning of February. Yahooooo! Lindsay from Purr Design (yes, same gal I noted above…and yes, she has two companies…very talented lady!) is currently working on the initial proposal for the design and I should see it soon. I can’t wait! I will definitely update you on that as soon as it’s ready to go.
I hope you have many happy wishes and dreams to chase this year. I will end on this wish I found here.
My Wish for You in 2008:
May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts. May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet for $100 bills. May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips. May your clothes smell of success. May happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be those of joy. May the problems you had forget your home address. In simpler words ….. may 2008 be the best year of your life! Cheers!!

I’d rather have love stick to my face like Vasaline than have Vasaline stuck in my hair and have to wash it 50 times. (Sound familiar) Happy New Year!!!!
