I've definitely been feeling in a holiday mood lately! Today while I was driving to work, it was raining when I left home, but somewhere along the highway the rain turned into snow. I didn't even realize it until a few minutes later when I noticed the streets were turning white with what I like to call God's dandruff. Later the rain came back and washed it all away but at least it was a winter wonderland for a few hours. =)
Since I'm feeling festive, here's a wintery doodle I drew this week plus a list of "Christmasy things" that I love doing (or just a random mishmash of recent photos that I sadly attempted to string together into some sort of cohesive blog post)... let's just say I tried. Anyways...
Stay cozy! ;)
I love...
lighting warm apple-scented candles...
snuggling in wool blankets with a lavender-scented pouch under my pillow (lavender is supposedly relaxing?)...
bundling up in a thick chunky knit scarf...
drawing wintery cartoon characters in my sketchbook...
making little clay penguins (for penguin snowglobes at work)...
drinking sugary caramel brulee lattes (with extra whipped cream!!!)...
and consequently, vandalizing Starbucks cups with creepy doodles.
I also like to collect men (GINGERBREAD men, that is)... like this one...
and this one...
...and THIS ONE...on my handmade UGLY CHRISTMAS SWEATER! =) It was actually my dad's sweater that I "borrowed" and never returned.
So that's my photo collection of random Christmasy things. I hope that was mildly entertaining. And by the way, Starbucks in no way sponsored me for this post (although I wouldn't mind if they did... in the form of FREE DRINKS...ha!) but I was looking at my doodle of the girl with the scarf and I thought, she looks like she needs a cup of coffee. And that was all the excuse I needed to go out and buy myself a holiday beverage.
I hope you all have a wonderful week!
What are YOUR favourite Christmas sights, smells, or scenes?
