I loved seeing all my Twitter friends posting photos of their favorite Christmas gifts. I kept checking in Christmas day to see who was rejoicing over what. This year my hands-down-best-gift-ever was the adorable Fuji Instax mini (and tons of film!) that Joel gave me. It’s so cute! What was your favorite gift? Did you get [...]
We’ve been having the most wonderful, relaxing holiday. Reading by the fire and laughing with family and friends over hot cocoa. There’s nothing quite like knitting by the tree and watching a Christmas movie! (carol garland) (yarn tree tutorial) Congratulations to Vanessa, the winner of The Cupcake Mint giveaway!
Hey there! I’m Alli and I’ve been asked by our wonderful Jessica to do a little guest blog on here about what I want for Christmas. I thought and thought about the topic and how I wanted to go about it, and it struck me. All I’ve heard for weeks now is, “Where’s your Christmas [...]
I’m not sure if I should call it a tradition or a joke, but this time of year we constantly receive Starbucks Christmas tree ornaments. It’s gotten to the point that I think we could decorate our tree using only Starbucks related baubles if we wanted too. So in the spirit of a little Christmas [...]
Today’s weekend projects are all about the holidays! Yay! Are you ready to celebrate? Let’s bring out the glitter and scissors and get crafting! This beautiful garland from Whip Up is perfect for anyone looking for a quick dose of holiday cheer. Glitter and glue, who could ask for more? I do love these snowy ornaments!
Hi there! Before I begin my post I thought I would start with a wee introduction. My name is Amanda and I blog over at Here Comes the Sun. I’m from New Zealand which means my Christmas is all about sunshine, barbecues and the beach and I’m here to share a few of the goodies [...]
I saw the most darling photo and story on flickr the other day. A girl had discovered a former Christmas tree re-planted in a wooded area so she gathered ornaments and pretty trims and got busy decorating so the tree, “…could fulfill its true purpose once again.” With that lovely story in mind, I made [...]
When I was thinking of guest bloggers for this Christmas series I immediately thought of Kara, the super talented girl who taught the wonderful art journaling class I took last fall. Her scrap-booking and photography are so lovely I knew she would come up with something magical. And she has! Hello! My name is Kara [...]
Ah…it’s crazy to believe it’s that time of year again. A Muppet’s Christmas Carol is on in the background (I completely forgot that Gonzo plays Charles Dickens! Awesome.), a cup of peppermint hot chocolate is in my hand, and I’m ready to share with you the great question…what do I want for Christmas? Besides going [...]
The weather has been chilly and wet and a bit miserable the last week or so and all of the pretty leaves are on the ground turning into a brown mess. Things seem almost winter-like and while it might be a bit early to put up the tree (I mean, it’s not even Thanksgiving yet!) [...]
I write about things I like: knitting, fashion, books, and other cozy, lovely things. Thanks for visiting!
