my week in photos

wearing my favorite christmas scarf and listening to christmas music on my ipod every chance I get. love that thing.

watching christmas movies...especially any with Jimmy Stuart acting. Oh I just adore him! (and I the only one that feels that way??!) Shop Around the Corner is an absolute favorite.

I made time one evening to scrapbook. I haven't done it in months, and it felt sooo wonderful to be at it again! I've missed it so much

made a batch of my very favorite christmas cookie - Lebkuchen (recipe here) These are a chewy spicy cookie that are ohhhh so yummy! after you bake them, they're supposed to age for 2 weeks...but I usually skip that part because I don't have the patience ( or would that be self-control?! ) to wait that long to eat them.

drank lots of tea and my own version of a tea latte. I've been staying up pretty late every evening working on a project, and there's nothing like something warm to drink while working.

and.... I *finally* got my inspiration board put up in my scrap booking space! I've wanted to put it up for such a long time but never got around to it. I'm so excited about it!

I can hardly believe christmas is next week!! I just love this season!

well I'm off to watch "It's a Wonderful Life" (yep it's got Jimmy Stuart acting in it!) with my family and eat popcorn! oh and the carolers are coming tonight! It's going be a cozy evening!

Hope your weekend is simply lovely!
