Twenty Eleven

Jan-Mar2011April-June2011July-Sept2011Oct-Dec2011

Goodbye 2011 and cheers to a new year!   It's always interesting to see how things evolve over a 12 month span.  It's been a year of ups and downs and twists and turns for me...losing three grandparents, buying a house, leaving my job, moving away from family and making new friends. So I just wanted to say thanks to everyone and all the dear friends I have made along the way here on my little corner of the web.  Thanks for reading, and inspiring me, for encouraging, and for just being you.  New things are on the horizon for Shades of Monet...but I'll save that for another time.  I'm excited for every little thing that lies ahead.   Wishing your New Year's will be bright and joyful as ever!!

Much love and New Year's wishes,

    heaps of happy wishes for a grand 2012 Marisa!!!! it's been quite the year hey? my gosh, speaking frankly i'm real glad for a fresh start and the way NY's promotes a change in attitude for so many. cheers to smoothly navigating any upcoming challenges but lets also cheer to the balance leaning over towards the triumph side more this year : )

    thanks for continuing to brighten my day with your visits and then coming over here and getting to see your beautiful smile. it's plenty awesome to know you lades, you're multitude of ensembles is super inspiring too.
