Hello hello! Did you all have fabulous holiday celebrations? I definitely did. Skiing didn't quite happen (thanks to foggy bad weather) and I didn't get to see White Christmas on the stage (no time this year). But I did watch White Christmas on television and plans for Whistler are being made and we did have a fabulous Christmas Eve feast!Pictures to come but first, my darling Jessica W.N. of MUAHjwn introduced me to a new book entitled, The Night Circus. It is so magical and filled with unbelievably vivid imagery. Author Erin Morgenstern truly paints pictures with words...It makes me feel... inspired! Time to pull out the sketchbook.
What a December it has been! I just finished my last project yesterday (phew!) and did my last minute Christmas shopping today and now we are busy prepping our house for a big Christmas Eve celebration. It's going to be so delicious! Turkey, stuffing, salmon wellington, winter veggies, brussel sprouts with chestnuts and bacon, carrot cake... there's still more!
Wishing all a very wonderful holiday season!
After Christmas I'll be back with delectable tales of dinner, snowy alpine skiing adventures and theatrical experiences of White Christmas in Vancouver! Cheers! Salut!
It's no secret that I love Spain. I've been fortunate to have travelled there so often (thank goodness for airline employee benefits!) but I never get tired of it. I would love to make a trip to the region of Valencia. There's so much to see and do, I'm sure! Here's a taste... Fabulous architecture, old...And modern and new... An underwater tunnel at the L'Oceanographic Center! Sunny beaches... And some seriously good food!One day soon I hope, I will be in Valencia :)
Note: I do not own these pictures. I found them floating around on Google. If there is something you own that you wish removed, please leave a comment and I will gladly respect your request.
Just one more exam to go! I'm looking forward to a more relaxing holiday. Speaking of the holiday, I saw a lovely snow globe in Anthropologie while I was Christmas shopping: the Mason Jar Snow Globe. It's adorable and looks like a fun d.i.y. project. All you need is a jam jar, some fake snow or glitter, and a mini tree (I've seen these things at craft stores) and you've got yourself a unique snow globe! Enjoy!
