Happy New Year's Eve, my friends! We'll have a houseful of teenagers tonight, so my hubby and I are going to ring in the New Year by eating pizza, (hopefully there will be some left after the youngsters have at it), watching The Help, and desperately trying to stay awake until midnight so we (my hubby, actually) can chauffeur the gang home. Most of them have their driver's licenses, but the last thing I feel comfortable doing is sending them out on the crazy, drunken New Year's Eve roads. The girls want to make a wish on the dock at midnight, and I can't wait to see how many boys end up participating in that. Apparently, there's also been talk of sprinkling glitter as they make their wishes. I love it! My son is not as enthused, but the sooner the better to learn that when your girlfriend wants to sprinkle glitter.....you'd best sprinkle you some glitter. So, how about you all? Champagne and fancy dresses? Or maybe p.j.s and hot chocolate are more your style. I'd love to hear what you're doing to welcome 2012. Cheers to the year ahead!

Juliane | Notes from Björkåsa (@notesfrombjorkasa)

I dag skiner solen så vackert mellan den skira grönskan och trädens kronor vajar i vinden! Alldeles perfekt torkväder för tvätten! Här hänger butikens nytillskott av underbara handdukar från Ib Laursen. Även de charmiga klädnyporna är härifrån. Nu ska jag gå ut och se om jag kan finna en plats i lä. för att njuta av senaste numret av Lantliv! Ha en go lördag kära vänner! Kram Maria
