Big news... We just found out we are off to Ireland pre-NYE!
The bird & I are headed to Dublin, Ireland for about a year, and we will be leaving in less than a week! We are so excited for our adventure there and what better way to kick it off that NYE!
Do you have any suggestions for us... NYE or otherwise?
Here are a couple lovely numbers for our NYE:

I think long sleeve is probably best... since the weather lately has been in the 30s at night.
We would love to hear if any of my readers have been to or live in Ireland!
Happy Friday!

This is the first year I have ever sent out Christmas cards! Its very exciting. So the bird and I chose a lovely photo from our wedding via Vero, our wedding photographer.
I also dolled up the envelopes a bit with address tags.
Here are some of the supplies I used:

As you may have read a couple weeks back, the bird and I will be off to Ireland soon! So very exciting!
We have been in limbo mode, waiting on our visas/permits, not knowing when we were going to go. But we found out just yesterday, that we will still be home for Christmas. FABULOUS news!
So I immediately broke out our Christmas decor boxes and put up a tree!
Now it feels like Christmas!
And our favorite new ornament, from Lovely Little Details! (by Paloma's Nest)

We're going with the minimalist approach this year, as we have to be out of our house the day after Christmas!
We got renters for our year in Ireland and they're-a-moving-in quick!

That's right... the decision has been made. And Emerald it is!
I have to say, its a little serendipitous for me.
