Anyways, I'm on "vacation" for the next week, and I'm all crafted out, so I'm not sure I'll have much to blog about for a few days, but we'll see!

Post-giftings.
Well, as you can see, everyone got beards and other small handmade trinkets this Christmas. I had lots of fun (and some frustration, of course) making them and though their reception wasn't as warm as I'd hoped, I'm glad I stood my ground in not buying anything.

New beginnings - again.
Hello friends, welcome (back) to the new old blog!
I've been procrastinating on change for quite some time now, but it's finally here. The new coat of paint feels fresh and new - like anything is possible again. The old blog was getting dark and angsty. I'd gotten stuck in a cycle of only writing about the negative experiences in my life, which left me with no room (or desire) to write about the positive - and believe me, there's LOTS of positive! That being said, I'm not entirely sure what kind of blog this is going to be. A personal one for sure - I hope to include some photography, some craftings, foods, personal writings, random quotes, and of course stories from flight level 250. I also hope the inspiration to write doesn't dissipate so quickly this time around - so please leave lots of comments and ideas and share your musings to keep me going!
Christmas is just a few days away and as always, I'm unprepared. This year though, I absolutely refuse to *buy* anything for anyone. I say this every year and end up running to the mall in a last-minute panic of guilt and worry that what I made with my own two hands isn't enough. This year for sure - I'm taking the handmade pledge! This makes everything harder. More fun, but definitely harder. I'll be dreaming up ideas in my sleep tonight and will probably share them with you all *after* X-Mas, so as not to ruin any surprises. However, my Mom and I got together last weekend and baked for two whole days. We even had a sleepover. I loved it, it was one of the coziest and heartwarming-ist events I've had in a very long time and I'm thrilled I got to share it with my Mom! Here's a peak at our deliciousness...
