Thanks for checking in! I just wanted to let everyone that I will no longer be posting here on Rambling Jewell. I have decided to put all of my efforts into making A Little Place in Japan the best blog it can be! Plus, we are posting regularly over at Hazel & Lavender. So, while it was short it was sweet and thank you for taking the time to read about my life and interests!

See you soon. over at Hazel & Lavender and A Little Place in Japan.

for dad [good feeling music]

This song ALWAYS makes me think of Brando. We move around so much, that home really is where ever he is.

This year we will be moving, the day after Christmas in fact. We will wake up to boxes (I am thinking about stacking them in the shape of a tree) for Ella's first Christmas. It's slightly sad if you think about it. So we won't. Instead here is some decor for our imaginations.

1. Jewel Ornament Table Runner, $39.95.

2. Garland, $18.

3. Tree Stand, unknown.

4. Party Bunting, $17.

made at home [diaper cakes]

Anyone else love making diaper cakes? I do! I do! I made this one recently for my friend's rubber duckie themed baby shower. I put some real elbow grease into these babies, but I must say that this one felt extra special. It was nice to be able to give back to a mom-friend so recently after having Ella!

Ella's first Thanksgiving on earth and in Japan was amazing!
