Guys, Christmas is 4 days away! Did you get all your shopping finished up? I wrapped the last present yesterday, and B and I are ready for a week off work to visit family and friends.
In case you need a last minute idea for a centerpiece or there is a dark corner in your house that is begging for some holiday festivity, here is a quick and easy project you can do in an hour this weekend just in time for Christmas next week.
You may remember a few months ago I talked about having my Hanging Garden Tins featured on the new lifestyle website, My Apricot Hill. Well I’m excited to say that they’ve asked me to contribute with them on a new endeavor! They are just starting a new Card Exchange program where you can catalog different craft ideas, recipes, traditions, health and beauty tips and beyond that fit within with the My Apricot Hill style. They have graciously picked several of my posts to turn into cards for you to catalog!
Head on over to see the cards they have for your browsing pleasure and be sure to check back because more cards are added all the time!
This week’s mid week refresh is short and sweet. Take 15 minutes out of your day and watch this Tiny Desk Concert by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. At the very least, take 4 minutes and listen to the first song. So powerful. So good.
p.s. it’s 12.12.12! woot!
Happy Monday! Some highlights from the weekend:
The past couple weeks I have been sharing just one holiday song on Monday, but this week I went a little over the top and made an entire Christmas Mix for you to listen to (here). I love Christmas Music, but can’t stand listening to the “Holiday Station” on the radio. I swear they play the same 10 songs every year! So, enjoy this mix of holiday tunes and the rest of your week!
Oh, and if holiday tunes aren’t your thing, or you just need a break from them, here’s a non-seasonal song I’m totally digging right now.
Pomegranates have been on sale at the grocery for the past couple weeks. Every time I go, I linger past them and even read the sign that tells you how easy it is to open up and eat the fruit, but I’ve never actually picked one up and put it in the cart. I always talk myself out of it and end up buying the pomegranate Chobani yogurt instead. I know, not quite the same thing.
Well, like most of my round ups, I went on a pomegranate pinfest and found a few more reasons to buy a pomegranate (and I’m not talking about the yogurt)
