Pete took me up to his cottage in Peterborough, and chauffeured me around on the boat for a wonderful day. I got great pictures this afternoon, too.

7:

Pete's 30th birthday party! I think we look smashing in this pic. I'm wearing the dress Marisa wore on week 1 of HDYSAPLM. After we wrapped, there was a wardrobe sale, and this dress was amazing, and just my size! Loooove.

16:

Road trip to Michigan! The lovely Rebecca hosted me for the weekend, and we met up with Jenny & then Lori & Kurt took us out for dinner. Awesome weekend.

20:

A lovely date in the park : picnic, photos, paper shops. Boys should take note of this.  This was my favourite shot from that day.  Actually, it's one of my favourites that I've taken all year.

25:

Errol, Krista and I in DISNEYLAND!!! Woohoo, California!!!

Came home just in time for the CNE. I go every year. This time I brought Rae with me... he had no idea what he was getting himself into :) It was definitely good times.

Back to NYC, for the second time this year! This time, with my parents. We gave him the trip for his 65th birthday present, because he'd never been before.

This was a still from the indie short film I worked on, Scratched Out.

Merry Christmas! This was my favourite holiday picture this year.

The reunion of some of my favourite people in the world. I know, I just posted a blog about this yesterday, but it was necessary to go into my year recap :)



So Long, Farewell, 2008! You turned out to be a pretty good one. But I'm very much looking forward to whatever 2009 has in store. :)

Happy New Year, everyone!  Wishing nothing but the best for all of my blog friends & your families and loved ones.

love the year recap! :). Happy New Year, Katie! I am thrilled I got to meet you this year.

Likewise, Lori! I hope we get to see each other next year too!
(And I'm also quite disappointed that we didn't get a pic of me, you and Rebecca! I was looking for one with all three of us, and couldn't find one... so I settled on me and Lippy instead LOL)

Happy New Year to you!

Hey Katie
I tried doing project 365 last year.. i don't even remember how far into it i got.. a few months i think. I stopped cuz i got lazy and i would forget days and then i just stopped al togheter.. Then christmas time came and i was like.. i wish i stuck with it .. it would have been really cool.. so, i'm going to give it another try. I'd love to make a photobook of all the pics at the end of the year next year. Plus... i really missed thinking about what i'm going to take pictures of ever single day.. lol

Thanks, everyone, and Happy New Year to you, all!

Pete - one of my favourite parts of '08 was spending so much time with you! I think we should continue that through '09 :)
