Happy (belated) Christmas!

 

Wishing a Happy Christmas & a great New Year to all! I know it's a little late but I say better late than never plus I thought I'd share this years Christmas Card design. It feels like the season flew by - as always - but nonetheless it was an exceptionally good & busy one! I'm a tad sad it's over but I look forward to what the new year will bring - 2011 had many ups and (some major) downs but I'm thinkin 2012 will be absolutely busier & better than ever. Like many I made my little list of resolutions & goals so here's to keeping up the momentum! Bring on 2012 :)

Song Bird: Little Dragon

I thought I'd share one of my latest musical muses, Little Dragon. Their sound is pretty unique with soothing vocals, techy sounds and a little bit of funk. I've been really appreciating the Swedish electronic band's latest musical work "Ritual Union". Check it out if you can!
