Cookie Monster

I've recently discovered a new chocolate chip cookie 

lover in our home. 

I made some over the Christmas holidays and I'm pretty sure he ate most of them.  

Here's to my very own cookie monster.

A Wedding Order

Shortly after I opened my Etsy shop I received an order for 8 of a particular bag I had for sale.  I didn't have the fabric on hand.  I figured that wasn't going to be a problem.  I'd just order more from the place I'd ordered from before.  What do you know?  It was back-ordered.  AND it was back-ordered EVERYWHERE!!!  What it in the world?  I started doing some more research and realized I had ordered some popular brand name fabric without realizing.  Huh! Who knew?  Not me, that's for sure.  After some initial time of panic and sweating, I finally found it and ordered way too much.  It seemed like it took forever to arrive at my doorstep (where I had to pay another fee in border tax...geesh).  I got all of the other supplies I needed and went to work.

Here they are all ready to go.  

The order is for a wedding.  They'll be gifts for all the bridesmaids.  What a cute idea!  So I wrapped them all up, stuck in a few of my new business cards and mailed them off.  

I also put in a little bonus gift for the bride.  A matching clutch for the special day.  

I'm pretty excited to hear the reaction from the bride.  I hope she's happy.  I am.

Christmas Week

We've had a nice Christmas vacation.  I've really enjoyed spending time here at the house and being together.  Poor Adrian has spent the majority of the vacation sick.  That hasn't been so nice and I had a cold.  However, we made the best of it.

Here are a couple of pictures from earlier in December.  Adrian started asking in October when we were going to put up the Christmas tree.  

 Christmas Morning.  

It was pretty quiet.

 Adrian was still sick with a fever.  But he perked up when I said it was time to open the gifts.

 Thanks to everyone who gave them such great things.  They enjoyed each and everyone of them and David and I were very blessed just to watch them have a great Christmas morning.

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
