seasonal goodness
The view out the front door/ the view out back...
both make me happy.
This little Buddha is in the foreground of my view,
next to my new favorite lip balm.
Yeah. Favorite lip balm and a tiny Buddha, OKAY?
These things make me happy right now.
And look at this!
I've been wanting to buy red and white string for so long, and this nice sized spool was at the restaurant supply store. I'm going to use it for presents.
I took out my Christmas list book the other day to make some notes.
My kids have never seen my Christmas book and Middle opened it and started to read.
We sat together and looked at the lists of things I bought from the time he was little until last year. He loved going over each year and telling me about presents he remembered and I loved hearing, after all these years, what he thought of certain gifts.
He can't see it again until next year

I too would enjoy those views out your front and back doors. Thanks for sharing.
And I love journals and nice notebooks, I should start a gift journal like you have.
As for the red and white string, I can't wait to see some photos of wrapped presents. I suspect you'll use a great paper.
Re: red and white string. For a brief shining moment I thought you had taken up knitting.
And the idea of the christmas present journal is inspired. I will start mine this year.
But most precious of all are the Santa lists in their childish, grubby handwriting with the list of toys.
Now they just email me the links!
I have have two boys (6 and 8), and have their wish lists for Santa from the past 4 years hidden away...I hope they never find them. Those lists make me melt. They still believe. May the magick be infintite!
I love your handwriting. (and the layered rock walls...timeless.)
I'm all about notebooks. And doodles and scratch-outs.
