snow flakes

i’ve been feeling a little blue lately. a little more worried about things than usual. even less in the christmas spirit than normal, and i always get excited about christmas. (and other holidays. and birthdays.)

so i worked on a little project for fun this afternoon: paper snowflakes! i hadn’t made those since i was a child. i remember them hanging in my bedroom windows until they were so old and dried out they fell apart when i touched them.

i think this needs to become a tradition again in my life. i love opening them to see what design i’ve created! of course, it didn’t fix my problems, but a little snowflake-making therapy was just what i needed today.

pictured: donuts and coffee

my husband and i bicycled the five miles from our home to a new coffee and donuts place downtown. oh boy. so worth it! best donuts like, ever.


see that cute cozy on my coffee? there’s a mustache on it and it says “bff” because i got a matching one for my bff sarah. they were custom made by jenny at the cozy project, and if you’re looking for some easy, inexpensive christmas gifts (or just-because-gifts… or gifts for yourself), there ya go and you’re welcome.


it was an overcast day; a little chilly but not too chilly, even on a bicycle. and the fall colors along the way were just magnificent! i’m going to have to figure out how to sling the camera over my shoulder in such a way that i can stop any time and conveniently snap some photos.


we got down to this one little bite of donut, and neither of us had room for it. poor little uneaten bite of donut, thank you for being so delicious.
