2010 color of the year: Purple

Lavender, plum, plain every color of purple on the face of the earth is now the color of the year. The most popular by far. Now is the time for purple. 2010. Now who determines this we don't know. But there are many examples of purple, for dogs and people. Here is two of them at the golden globe award winners such as Sandra Bullock, Jane Krakowski and Jennifer Garner were sporting the passionate plum tone. Also, one of my favorite websites, animalplanet.com has a whole article on purple, for pets and people. That could be a tongue twister. I should get Ginger a purple shirt, carrier, collar, and leash. Not much more to say about purple but, don't overdo it or else you will in the end look like a plum.

A new years celebration

Every new year we have a fondue party for new years eve. princess tiger goes to bed early, and the rest of the family watches a movie and then watches Dick Clark's new years eve. The ball goes down, happy new year! Then off to bed. But this new years eve was different. We invited friends over. And I will tell you step by step, how we made this new years eve special. From table settings to grape jelly meatballs, this new years eve was the best.
The little piece of rolled up paper is a new year fortune, wrapped in the napkin.

The kids table. A view from the ceiling.
What each place setting looked like with your name, skewers, and toothpicks.
The cheese for cheese fondue. We dipped bread, little smokeys, and even meatballs in it.
We also had chocolate fondue, canada dry, sweet tea, strawberries (for chocolate fondue.), and yes, carrots.
It was a spectacular night we will never forget.
