Days 37 – 50
Day 37
“After The Ice Storm”
Day 38
“Maggie Louise Chocolates”
My sister-in-law sends us these beautiful chocolates every year! Not only do they look so pretty, but they taste just as delicious!
Day 39
“Crafting Away”
I still couldn’t get my Cricut to work, but I had already embossed my cards and had my heart set on making these, and I didn’t want to just give up, so I did them all by hand, cutting out all of the ovals with an X-Acto knife.
Day 40
“Raspberry Linzer Cookies”
Amanda and I get together every year, as per tradition to bake cookies for Christmas. This was our 6th year. This was my first time making these cookies, the shortbread is a little thick, but it was super soft & so good! Not bad for my first time!!
Day 41
“Walking In A Winter Wonderland.”
Day 42
“Cookies Packaged And Ready To Be Delivered.”
Day 43
“Handmade Christmas Cards”
Day 44
“Eeyore Ornament”
Every year since we started dating, Neil and I have exchanged Christmas ornaments. This was mine this year, well technically last year now.
Day 45
“Duchess Potatoes”
One of my favorite things is to take left over dishes and turn them into another meal.
Day 46
“Trying Some New Tea”
Remember how I mentioned in one of my award posts that I tried a new tea the other day? Yeah, well, this is it! I party hard, I know! Haha. This was a gift from my West Coast family!! ❤

Amanda got me this little guy for Christmas, and I absolutely adore him!! ❤
Day 48
“Sifted Powdered Sugar Looks Like Snow”
Day 49

Day 50
“Last Selfie Of The Decade”
I spent New Year’s Eve curled up on my sofa, watching The Twilight Zone Marathon and The Ball Drop, and I was perfectly content! Happy New Year, everyone!!
Bonus Pictures
I love Lush bath products, especially when the bath bombs make the water look like art!
I love looking for different pictures to take, and trying to find inspiration. I thought this frosted window was kind of pretty!
While dancing around my kitchen while I was cooking I spotted this beautiful sunset, and I had to snap a picture of the view!
More homemade cookies. These are London Fog cookies, which are Earl Grey shortbread with a lavender glaze
Snickerdoodles
Our 2019 annual cookie baking spread!!
COOOOOKKKKKIIIIIIEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
Christen surprised me with this beautiful snowflake mug!! I now own my first piece of pottery from Elan Pottery, a small business out of Frederick, Maryland, which is a mutual favorite between Christen & I! ❤
The sunrise on Christmas morning!

That’s so nice of you to give them away! I tried making miniature sugar cookies this year but had to resort to a different recipe since I was missing an ingredient. Then they burned so I couldn’t give them away. I’m not sure if I will be doing much baking in the future but next year I hope to send Christmas cards!

I really miss sending cards. One year I went completely overboard and sent over 50 cards. So this year, I hope to stick to a reasonable number of cards.

It can be a lot. I usually send about 50, but quite a few of those are hangiven. Coworkers & people I see on a daily or almost daily basis.
