After Pt. 1 comes this...

My mom, Rachel & I left my favorite place on earth to come back home to reality.
I went to The Living Desert in Palm desert with my mom, Dick & my cousin Jason, who is a photographer.
We got to see a butterfly emerge from it's pupa.
I went with my mom to my favorite beach & explored their new visitors center.
I found a dog at work, Dick kept him & named him Hunter.
I got a Canon G11.
We went to Venice with Dane, Liz & Ryan to explore & met the Predator.
I went to Los Angeles yet again to meet up with Vivs & I also got to meet another great blog friend, Diana! 
My twin cousin James & I turned 25 & celebrated at Balboa beach.
I went to the Santa Rosa Plateau with Dick to watch Ryan take photos of Alex & have some fun.  We found a LOT of tarantulas that day.
I chopped my mop!
I was a flapper for Halloween & Mahlon was a Maori dude. (With an Irish shirt on?)
Roxy came home from Missouri & I took her on a picnic at the beach to celebrate.
I got my favorite necklace from a blog friend Danielle, the owner of Dinosaur Toes jewelry.
My nephew Ryan entertained me at Thanksgiving.
I went with Dick, Roxy, Dane & Ryan downtown to the Festival of Lights.
We celebrated Christmas & the end of 2010.
& that there folks is the end of my 2010.  I suppose the only fun thing that'll happen after now will be celebrating the new year, but that doesn't really count, does it?  Anyways, I hope you all had fantastic Tiger years!  Let's bring on the Rabbit!

Sponsor Highlight: Camilleyanair

December is almost out but I still have one more sponsor to share with you all.  Please meet Camille from Camilleyanair!  



1. i run a teeny tiny shop called www.camilleyanair.etsy.com that's filled with colorful dresses that are either vintage or handsewn out of vintage/recycled materials.
2.i also run a teeny tiny blog called www.camilleyanair.blogspot.com that chronicles my colorful life.
3.i live in a teeeeeeeeny tiny house with my boyfriend and our dinosaur dog, Lola J.
4.i'm a preschool teacher by day...and i LOVE it.
5. i was born in a car :)
6.my biggest fear is tidal waves...aghhhhhhhhhhh!
7.i wear a shell necklace every day and i think i should've been a mermaid.
8.i wear dresses every.single.day.
9.i love pumpkin coffee...love love love it!
10. i love discovering new, inspiring blogs...like www.boardwalktoeden.blogspot.com <3



i make dresses out of recycled fabric (and sell vintage) because there are sooo many ugly dresses made of great fabric (hello 80s sillouhettes?) and i can't stand to see anything go to waste! (nearly my entire house is furnished out of things that were found in people's trash piles!) i don't believe in charging a lot of money for these clothes because my end goal is not to to make a profit, but instead to save (even if it's a tiny bit of) gorgeous fabric :) 

Make a note in your purchase that you heard about me here, and receive a free surprise with your order :)


Love/Love/Love, Camille

Isn't she great!  Gorgeous clothes made from reused fabric.  & free surprises, yes, she's a peach!  I hope you all enjoyed this little sneak peak into the life of Camilleyanair.  ♥

Christmas Day: 2010

Here you can see me, CaL, running around on Christmas day, getting in my families face & making them say "Hi" - it's what I do.  This is also proof, for those of you who asked, that I have a high, or you may say, annoying, voice.  Ew.  Ha!



Near the end you will see my brother talking to his son & me asking for a response from my cousin, James. What my brother, Mahlon was saying was "Ryan, when you're older & bigger, make sure to beat up James for me, okay?" Also, I try to lick my elbow because James asks me to. I also say, "they're TOMS" because James called them my ninja shoes. Enjoy.

We dressed up.
I got to explore Los Angeles with Eileen & see Jeremy Larson at the Hotel Cafe.
We went to a pow wow with Dane & Liz & ate Indian tacos.
My aunt Diane passed away.  But that brought family together from far away places.  I got to see my Dina.
I got to see my lovely cousin Amanda.
I got to goof around with my twin, James.
We went with our friends Jahzeel, Andrew & James to Los Vegas to explore & meet up with friends from afar.
We went on vacation to Yosemite with my parents.
I went to a different part of Los Angeles with Rachel to see the tar pits, LACMA & we got to see the bench from (500) Days of Summer at Angeles Knoll.  
I also got to visit San Francisco & meet some lovely blog friends, Vivs & Lehua.
I got to stay at my favorite place on earth & hang out on the beach with my mom & my lovely friend Rachel.
This would be a good stopping point for Pt. 1.  I'll post Pt. 2 later on this week for the second half of my 2010 & a bit of a summary.
