Glitter mess culprit & messy workstation

These cards are the culprits of the glitter festival in my whole house! I have never seen so much glitter in my life!



On a good note, they turned out pretty cute! And the love of glitter will be shared with those receiving these cards :) Here is another simple one that did not require glitter. My apologies, it's hard to get good lighting at 5 am.



Would you like a teeny tiny glimpse of what I mean when I say my kitchen is a MESS? Here is a TINY part of my workspace. Pic taken this morning. No staging.



I am at the end of my cards! So this will all be cleaned up shortly :)

Love or obsession? criss-cross card

I am not sure if I am in love or simply obsessed with these little criss-cross cards!! I just want to make them again and again!! The bad side of it? With the little embellishment band around it, they won't fit in the envelopes that I addressed already! I received Maelie's school pics this week so I glued them onto the note inside. What I love is that each and everyone is different.




Here are just a few of them:



Today will be the official Christmas card mailing day in our house.

ooooey gooooey!

Maelie and I worked on a baking project today!



Ooooey gooey cinnamon buns! Extra unhealthy version! hahaha Hence why these will be brought to work and not left on our counter for little chidren and husbands to eat!!



I don't know what it is with the months of November and December... i just want to stay home and bake all the time and then give my baking away! It's the festive air I think!

Sunday morning baking

Maelie and I started off the day baking some candy cane cookies! She was up by 6:00, so I immediately took out the mixer! By 6:30 we were rolling the dough.



Maelie had a harder time making the candy canes, so I had her make candy shaped cookies instead.



She added he little touch to some of them... a heart for Mommy with an M, a heart for Daddy with a D, and one for herself with an M.



This is how many we were able to make



They passed the taste test!!

Sneak peak - Christmas card workshop

Tomorrow Natalie and I are hosting our Christmas card workshop at my house. Other than frantically trying to clean up the place, I managed to make a few treats. Here is a sneak peak....




Do you think a group of ladies will notice the dust and dirt if there are chocolate covered cherries around?? *cross my fingers* i hope they don't...

This is something I never thought I would be able to accomplish!! but thanks to Natalie, here it is:



Maelie is ECSTATIC and she cannot wait 'til December 1st!!! When I presented it to her, she was speechless with her mouth open for a bit! and that was followed by a huge hug and a "thank you mommy!"
