 1.This week on Totes Awesome Channel, we chat about how our friends feel about us blogging. Youtube Link In short, my friends are cool with it. 2.I’ve been reflecting on 2011, recap to come at the end of December. I’ve had a great year for the most part and am scheming and dreaming about 2012. I love the feel of a fresh new year! 3.I’m slightly behind in my 31 DIY projects for December but only slightly. I am going to attempt sofa cushions this weekend! This week I added to my Sketchbook Project (forgot to snap those photos) and made a Christmas greeting card.  4. I sent that Christmas card off along with my package for the Austin Food Blogger’s Alliance Gift Swap. The Austin group is swapping with bloggers from Boston Food Blogs. It’s my first blogger gift exchange and it’s so fun! I’ll show you what I got Teresa after I’m sure she received her package. I always feel great about the things I gift if I want to keep them for myself and I totally wanted to keep everything. I kept smelling the box the day I sent it out. Smelled so good! 5.I got sick on Monday so this week has been kind of a lazy week. I did manage to cook 2 of the nights and crossed off 1 more person off my Christmas list. I still feel kind of unproductive. Can’t wait to get back into it this weekend. Cleaning, unpacking bags from Thanksgiving (shameful, I know), Christmas shopping, and Christmas parties! This former scrooge is going to Christmas parties! Emphasis on the plural. 6.Dear friend of Totes Awesome Channel, our dearest friend Nico, who also put together our intro, started to make gifs for us. Let me show off our little collection.    Mine totally makes me want to go, “Weeee!” 7.This week’s moments of bliss: ♥ sick day full of naps and Felicity ♥ close parking spots to office ♥ doggy hugs ♥ date night ♥ sharing a one person recliner with a full size dude and medium size dog ♥ goodies in the mail ♥ sales ♥ this video ♥ homemade banana bread ♥ emergency work stash of locally based dark chocolate ♥ persimmons ♥ awesome coupon deals ♥ take 6 Question: What was the best gift you’ve given? |
