Have a lovely weekend

We are getting snow storm after snow storm. I want to go cuddle up with a blanket and drink some tea. Is it snowing in your town? The last few days, I am amazed at how many cities are getting the white : Seattle, Portland, Vegas, (biggest snowfall in 30 years!) areas of Southern California, Denver, Minneapolis, Chicago, New York.... etc...

Crossing my fingers for a white Christmas. I hope you have a nice weekend playing in the snow if you've got some, or staying inside getting cozy by the fire.

Pom-Pom Decor

I picked up a copy of the Marie Claire Idees magazine while in France (one of my favs) and wish I would have thumbed through it earlier. This idea they share of making pom-poms to put on a wreath, a package, or make a holiday chain out of them, is such a great one. Anyone made them before? Are they time consuming, or tricky?

SimpleSong Christmas Cards.

These custom Christmas Cards are utterly adorable. It is all in the details - the custom stamp, moo cards, letter from their two-year old, letterpress etc... SuAnn from simplesong knows how to do it right. Awe, I am inspired. Read more about them here.

Not your mother's christmas ornaments

D and I do not have a traditional Christmas tree. Well, this year we don't actually have a Christmas tree at all, because we ran out of time, but that hasn't stopped me from adding to our ornament collection. As a nod to D's heritage, (but mostly just because we like it) our tree decorations are Mexican themed. Not meaning we have little glass blown tacos (although I would totally buy them, if I could find them), but we generally go for Dia de los Muertos-esque decorations. We have a great collection of little skeletons and skulls and I have some homemade ornaments using loteria cards. As a side note, I should mention that D's mom, who is Mexican, finds our Mexican themed tree completely bizarre, but kind of funny. I just don't want to mislead you into thinking that this is some kind of authentic Mexican tradition.

And now we have these guys.



As I've mentioned, we kind of love lucha libre, particularly after we were lucky enough to go to a real show while we were in Mexico last summer. So these little luchador masks, which I based on actual masks and then cut out of felt and glued together, will be making it onto our tree. Whenever we end up actually getting one, that is.
