My {late} Christmas!

Yes, I know that Christmas day was over two weeks ago but I still want to blog about it anyway. Hope that's okay :)

I had a wonderful time in SC! I miss living in the South but I really don't... it's a little complicated. It is truly amazing that over there it can snow 3" in one day and be almost completely gone, melted away the very next day, haha! Love it. I was happy to get home though, and so was my boy. Man was he a handful at times! It's almost like as soon as he senses he's not in his usual surroundings/routine a crazy switch goes off in his cute little head. (I guess it also didn't help that his sleep schedule inevitably got completely ruined, poor thing.) 

So anyway this is a picture of an ornament I made, like?

I was given this super cute gift by a super cool person (you know who you are ;) ) My son, my little cousins, and I had so much fun with it. It's the Sugar Cookie Workshop sold by Trader Joe's. What could be better than making something cute and then getting to eat it! Nothing is the correct answer.

While on Christmas break two great things happened... a birth and a birthday. Congrats to the new mommy and the birthday dude! I made a card for both occasions featuring the banner, it's just so festive.

Holiday Cards!

Happy Holidays everyone!! 

Best part about the Christmas season: The FeSTiVe! feeling in the air; why can't it be this way all year? All around there just seems to be this general feeling of happy anticipation and givingness (not a word but def a feeling) that when mixed with twinkly colorful lights everywhere gives me a warm, airy sort of feeling :) My favorite holiday is still New Years though.....

So I have made my first batch of obligatory Christmas cards. I'm kidding, I actually really like making cards. 

I found this old stamp from a set my mother bought years ago when for 2 seconds she was into the whole crafty stamping thing (if I recall she made me this really cute heart sweater during that time). The stamp simply states "Wise men seek Him still" and I love it. I think it's so appropriate/compelling. Here are the cards! I got the ideas for the first two cards from curbly.com which is a great site.
