December

A few phone pictures from the last while. A bit of card and gingerbread house making, decorating, serious snow, holiday reading, Christmas shopping slip up, and Levi enjoying his gifts from my family (sort of).

And 'fore you know it, it's already here

 Hope everyone's having a nice Christmas!

Hope you're all having a lovely holiday season!

Last night was last night, and that's all there was.

 Happy holidays and New Year everyone!

It's that time of year when the world falls in love

Spending today illustrating some Christmas cards, and listening to the She and Him Christmas album. I'm not feeling very Christmassy yet, but I think that these activities and the fact that its snowing again will help!

Post Christmas

This Christmas has been nice. It was the first year that I didn't have to go anywhere on Christmas day, and it almost feels like the holiday has lasted longer because of it. The days after Christmas are probably my favorites. Lots of napping, TV watching, chocolate eating, and walks with Finnigan and Levi occur. I will definitely have trouble returning to productivity next week!

  I was always obsessed with the ice cream cone ornament. So much so that when I was about three I tried to take a bite out of it (hence the frayed bit) and bit off the bottom of the cone instead. It's not made out of a real ice cream cone, unfortunately...

Merry Christmas!

I know it's a bit early, really, but I kind of feel like it's already happened since I have had way too much to eat this month. Mainly cupcakes and pickles, but not together. I hope your holiday is lovely!

Going Away Means Forgetting

Just a few things that I like which have been inspiring me for December! I need those gold shoes for my collection, they are so perfect!
All photos that I have links for, link to the source.

p.s. I finally finished 'A Complicated Kindness' the other night and I really loved it! I felt like I liked the characters more than ever at the end. It was so sad but good.

Takeoffs and Landings

The first week of December has been (fairly) unintentionally Christmas-y for me! I have been illustrating some greeting cards for my dad's company, and that in combination with the Charlie Brown Christmas album, snowy weather, and chocolate gift baskets has me drawing my own festive-like scenes in any free time. I did this one yesterday and I know there will be more to come!
