Some November highlights:

- Getting a new gas grill (and using it!)
- Tigger, the new little kitty, settled right in with the other cats (and also kept me company while I wrote)
- Setting up my old Wishblade with the new Silhouette software (so that it was no longer a boat anchor)
- Rebooting Project Life (love this!)

As much fun as these are to look at, I've decided not to do the monthly roundups for 2012. I've grown a little bored with them, and honestly Project Life is really taking over in this area both with helping to make sure that my photos stay edited and organized and also in getting lots of little things documented. Maybe next year's yearly roundup post should be all of my Project Life pages all in one place? There's a thought!!
