Pantone announced last month that the Color of the Year 2012 would be Tangerine Tango. Per Pantone, Tangerine Tango is a "spirited reddish orange that will continue to provide the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward. I like the color for it's boldness and closeness to red and orange. Used as an accent it would work well with olive greens... (Better Homes & Gardens) or Golden Browns.. (Coastal Living) It even works well with yellow and bright green as seen in this calendar from Wired. I like the color and the variations of it that I have seen over the past month. Add a litt yellow and you have a more Citrus Tangerine.. And it becomes more Sunny and Bright.. Just what we all need in the Winter and for the start of a new year. I think I like you Tangerine Tango! Enjoy!

Every year I vow not to make resolutions, but always find myself coming back around to making them again and this year is no different.  I have just a few ideas for the New Year and hopefully I can achieve them all with just a little focus. (1) Re-Organize. Who doesn't have this on their resolutions. I was the recipient of a Christmas gift that most normal women would think was awful of a washer and dryer. I love them and would talk and blog about forever if you let me. But getting these new lovelies has made my laundry room look, well not worthy of their presences. So I really need to organize and keep up and make it more respectable. (2) Re-do. A sewing storage chest from my Husband Grandmother that just needs a little TLC and a new use. I have plenty of things I can store in it, but I have special plans for it. (2) Re-Use From my Estate Sale trips this summer and fall, I have accumulated tons of buttons, costume jewelry and other cast off items. I plan to really take a look...

Happy New Year! Wishing You Health and Happiness in 2012! I will back later week with great ideas and resolutions for the New Year! Enjoy!
