christmas countdown

Just three days ’til we leave for Christmas in West Virginia.  I am so looking forward to seeing friends and family.  Joel and I worked on a few Christmas presents today; these are the hot chocolate mixes we made for our grandmas:

I think they turned out quite nicely.

We used this recipe and added a good bit of cinnamon and a wee bit of nutmeg.  We also mixed in some milk chocolate and white chocolate morsels and some super cute white snowflake sprinkles.  The little marshmallows are the final touch.

I’m still working away on the painting I have been making for my mom.  Its nearly done

I hope I have time to make a few of these lovely little bedside journals for friends

You can get the tutorial here.

Tomorrow my plan is to the clean the house, pack our clothes, and wash Cors.  Cors is a pleasant car companion, especially if he has been washed recently.

On a literary note, I have been reading Love In the Time of Cholera.  What are you reading?
