Happy 2011!

Ready to celebrate, cheer, and toast?

Happy, healthy and silly NEW YEAR!

Bubbly decoration

Is it me or it seems like the decoration has been immersed in a glass of bubbly wine?

 

:)

Candy house

I have so many chocolates and candies I could build a village...

naaa too much work, I prefer to eat them! :)

Mini NYC

It's good to be a superhero. You get to have a different point of view of the city!

Green Monday #8

Green rug and heart-shaped leaf.

Happy Monday!

At the end of the shift

 Time to rest for Santa, after a busy busy day

Did you have a good Christmas?

Santa has been very generous with me! So many gifts, so much food, and

most of all, such a good company!

I'm home for Christmas!

After 32 hours, 3 flights canceled, and a broken aircraft...

I GOT HOME!

2.50AM - Italy time... Merry Christmas to all of you!

A recent discovery

Hey, I guess that cell phones date way back... more than we thought!

hihihihihihi feeling silly tonight!

My favorite Christmas tree!

I had to go to the Museum of Natural History because I wanted to see this tree.

The theme for the Origami Holiday Tree is Discovery...

there are some pretty patient people out there! :D

Oh deer, four days to Christmas!

I can't believe it is almost Christmas!

Golly! That was fun!

Today, the Sunday before Christmas, I had the brilliant idea

 to walk to the Rockefeller Center and 5th Ave...

it took me almost an hour.

But hey, look at these windows!

 

Starry night!

 Taller than me! With Columbus Circle in the background.

Green Monday #7

Today we had the first shy snowfall of the season.

Very soon we might have White Mondays!

My weekend

Flea and craft markets, scored a bag of goodies! 

Baked cookies... they were OK, but not great.

Oh well, I guess I can blame the measurement conversion :D

Christmas sparks

Trees and buildings are shinier than ever in NYC!

Christmas extravaganza #2

Uh, look who is on the gingerbread Empire...

 ... gingerbread King Kong with gingerbread Jane!!! :D

Christmas extravaganza

I told you I had something special for you!

On Saturday I went to Dyker Heights, Brooklyn...

Oh boy, they take Xmas lights pretty seriously there!

I almost froze to death, but it was worth it! :D

More Xmas fun & madness soon... now I need sleep.

Xmas 2009 in review

 

Tomorrow I'll start my Christmas photo quest of 2010!

One of those days...

Sorry if the picture is not great,

but I have just had one of those days...

UpGemini's new home 2

Orange tones from the shower curtain to the kitchen cabinets.

 (Oh yes, those are candies... ;) )

Green Monday #6

Flowers make me so happy!

Seasonal treats

Key lime pie, my new obsession, and roasted chestnuts!

Midnight snack anyone?

Naaa, tonight I might pass on that! :>

 

Hope you had a very good day!

So many things to be thankful for!

Tonight I went to the pre-parade inflation of the balloons...

and let me tell you, I was NOT the only one! :)

Look, there were Kool-Aid, Kermit, Snoopy...

... and a little blue balloons with a privileged view on the event!

Sweet old times - part I

A couple of vintage paraphernalia that caught my eyes this week

{don't} play with your food

Today I made my first key lime pie ever.

Now it's in the fridge, I'll let you know how it was... :)

A day in review

On my way to work, I saw balloons hanging out with Xmas lights...

a pretty "still life" in a pond...

and an elephant waving at me from the wall of a thai restaurant!
