Oddly enough, I think this isn’t the first month I’m going “it’s already December?!?” Well, except for the fact that I always feel like there should be a November 31st, so when it goes from November 30th to December 1st without a day in between, that’s what surprises me. Okay, enough of that weird tangent! On to what’s currently going on in my life!
Currently, Vol. 57: Cookie Cutters
baking
Sugar cookies! And maybe a few other types of cookies? During a little etsy spree that I went on, I picked up some new cookie cutters and now I’m just itching to use them. My favorites? This cutie little dachshund cutter and the open book! Luckily, I have the perfect recipe for sugar cookies ready to go and I think I might make the cookies tonight. By the way, if you’re in need (or if you just want) some new cookie cutters, check out Sweet Prints’s shop on Etsy. She has hundreds of cookie cutters in all the shapes and sizes you could possibly think of.
decorating
My apartment with our brand new dachshund menorah! My dad and I stumbled upon this at Target during a last minute paper towel and toilet paper run and we knew that we couldn’t walk away without buying it. I mean, it was the ONLY one left on the shelf, it had to be a sign, right?! So this may be the only holiday decoration in our apartment this December, but it will certainly be the beset.
gifting
Way more gifts than last year! I hope this doesn’t come off as scrooge-y but since I don’t celebrate Christmas (because I’m Jewish), I don’t really do as much gifting this time of year, even with Hannukah. I don’t really know why, but there just hasn’t been as much gift exchange in the past. But I think that everyone needs a little more cheering up this year, so I have a lot more gifting planned for this year. I threw my hat in the ring this year for two gift exchanges and I think I may have a few more gifts for others up my sleeve.
hoping
I can really get myself in gear this month. I really felt like I was all over the place the last two months with trying to get a million things done and it was too much. This month, I have a new system in place for getting things done and I really want to stick with it! It’s completely flipping how I normally do things, but I think it will be good for me to change things up. Plus, if it can lead to more relaxing nights, I’ll take it!
sending
Holiday cards maybe? I’ve never sent holiday cards before, but my boyfriend really wants to send them this year, primarily because we have a dog now. At the rate we’re going, they’ll probably go out in January, but hey, at least they’ll be fun to make?
As always, linking up with Anne!
