to take mack out to find our fave treasure - pinecones...


to always remember how true this is...


to make this gorgeous paper garland for the holidays...


to wake up to this in my kitchen...


to sit and watch this wonderful clock knit a scarf...


to get my hands on this pattern...


and to make (& drink) the best cup of hot chocolate ever.


hi all! it's midnight as i write this and boy am i tired..haha, what else is new right moms? you all can relate i'm sure. i've got a big craft day planned for mack and i today to get the condo all ready for xmas. we'll be putting up our tree on saturday and she's just bouncing off the walls over the whole christmas thing. the hard part for me has been deciding on what to make for decorations. the list is, as always, bigger than what in reality i can make. i'm also still working on my xmas pressies and have only finished about 1/4 of them...eeek! i got started on my xmas cards though so i'm feeling good about that!

this week has been a long one. after all our snow last week we had a lot of time to relax and be at home, but this week we had to get back to our routine. mack's night terrors have gotten way better this week (thanks for all of your advice) and now it's harper keeping me up with her first tooth about to cut through. it's given me lots of time to sit and daydream over all the lovely holiday decor tutorials all your crafty ladies are making lately! wowsa! it feels like every year this just keep getting better and better. the craft community online is just so inspirational and amazing! i seriously cannot even believe that it's only the first week of december and there are already so many fabulous tutorials out! i'm scared for the rest of the month..haha.

besides crafting, we've got a little special performance to watch of mackenzie's ballet class, maybe some fun xmas activities and of course the tree decorating. i plan to try to get some sewing done on sunday and hopefully, hopefully actually open a book...oh and sleep, yeah, that would be nice...ahhh, sleep.

what's on your "must make" list for holiday decorations? do you have a favorite craft that you make every year with your kiddos? have you been up late with your little ones? wishing you lots of restful sleep and happy craftime!
