Well friends we have come to the last day of the decade and what a 10 years it has been. I started my blog, got married, began to travel the world, opened my own Pinterest Business, made new friends, lost family members, gained family members and grew into a woman that I’m proud of. It has been an adventure (good & bad) and I look forward to what the next decade brings!

Now, In true Liz form I am going to leave 2019 with a collection of vintage photos of New Years Eve parties, because you know I love my photos (P.S. at the end of this post, I share the other “Part 1-4” posts I have done on this topic).

Let the party begin!
