SIGNING OFF : MERRY CHRISTMAS!

images via my holiday board (plus lots more inspiration)

Signing off for the rest of the year! I'm so excited to spend lots of time with family and friends this coming week.  I'm also looking forward to returning to work after the new year, lots of exciting things to come in 2014!  I will be back here with a new blog design and portfolio site! I'm so happy to finally feel good about the places I'm sharing my work.  I hope to expand on what I share here as well, I'm not a good blogger yet but I'll get there!  I also have some photography projects in the works that will be up on my photo blog that I'm just over the moon about.  More on all of this soon.  For now...

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

FESTIVE HOLIDAY FAVORITES

these and more favorites here

A few favorite holiday pins from the past couple weeks.  Some of these images are so cozy and make me excited for cooler weather to come.  Decorating wise, we kept it simple this year.   I'm loving the geometric ornaments and advent calendars.  I plan to wrap with kraft paper, twine, and a bit of greenery. I love making handmade tags or adding some type of extra special touch on packaging.  Mismatched red plates would be so cute for holidays parties. Also, I haven't baked a bit yet...I need to find something peppermint / chocolate filled and get to work!
