St. Nicholas Day

A great day to bake a batch of sugar cookies.

Nothing fancy. Just some simple, festive cookies that taste great. 

Even though there are no shoes lined up in front of the fireplace anymore, to fill with little surprises, it is still a fun reason to bake some sweet treats.  

Wishing you a

Happy St. Nicholas Day!

Brrr it’s COLD outside!

There is nothing better than waking up to SNOW in December!

Well actually, snow any time of the year is wonderful but there is just something extra special about December snow. 

It seems to make the holidays a bit more festive and gives everything a little more sparkle. 

It is great for a little doodle inspiration too!

This Snowman Sled ornament was painted years ago however it still hangs on our tree every year and goes perfect with the snow outside.

Hopefully this December Snow is a sign of a White Christmas

however

we will just have to wait and see!

Happy Snow Day!

2nd THURSDAY Doodles & Soup for the Soul

My oh my, the week is flying by. 

And so is October. It is hard to believe that November will be here in just a couple of weeks.

Fall days call for soup and homemade chicken and rice was calling. Comfort food at its finest.

Hope your 2nd Thursday, also known as: DBF { day before Friday}, is the best. 

Art is when you hear a knocking from your soul and you answer it.
