I hope everyone is having an amazing day with family and friends. We’re at my aunt’s cottage right now. There’s a cute little tree full of ornaments that my mom made for us. (Post-Christmas ornament blog coming soon!!) Last night, I fell asleep on the hide-a-bed with a wood stove fire to my right and the lit up tree to my left. This cottage holds my most peaceful memories.

Goodness, I haven’t blogged in forever. I would like to start again. Here’s to a new year with thirteen units and a lot of free time. And inspiration too!

We made handmade ornaments this year!

Last week, I had some good time with the sisters on Candy Cane Lane :)

I worked SO much this week! All day on Christmas Eve. It turned out to be really great though. Everyone was cheery :)

My aunt and uncle’s cozy house.

My Christmas outfit

This season brings up so many thoughts of Linda. It’s our first Christmas without her. But she’s happy and I know she’s here somehow…

I really need to stop with the abrupt blog recaps where I basically repeat my instagrams and tweets. I am looking forward to a few more weeks of wintery bliss. Sleep, occasional work, some crafts, reading, and blogging.

Anyway, praise the Lord for this beautiful day to celebrate his birth.

Merry Christmas :)
