Today I Am...

{Recovering}

Yesterday was a loong day. Driving, talking, dressing, driving, dinner, walking, driving...it got a little tiresome. The good news?

I know what I'm wearing for my friend's wedding. And I'm excited because I'm the Maid of Honor.

{Sewing}

I really enjoyed everyone's ideas from this post. I've been working on some of them, and I think I've used all of these:

So I'd like to make some more today. Don't worry, I'll show you what I've come up with soon!

{Reviewing}

This book right here.

{Cleaning}

So that my lovely room...

...stays that way.

What are you doing today?

A Little {early} Christmas

Christmas Tree

Yes, today it's Christmas a little early. But I love Christmas so much I couldn't resist, it being the first Monday in December and all. So to celebrate the season, I've put together a little quiz for ya. Because I love to answer questons!

{ When do you put up your Christmas Tree? }

Late. I'd like to put it up earlier (like the first of December), but my mom likes to wait until a week or two before Christmas. So we don't have any decorations up yet.

{ Favorite Holiday drink? }

I can't stand eggnog, so I'd have to say hot chocolate. But I could drink that anytime!

{ Favorite Christmas song? }

Right now it's O Holy Night by Barlow Girl. Winter Wonderland is also and all-time favorite of mine.

{ What do you like the most about December? }

There is so much I love about it. Here in Florida, the weather starts to cool off, Christmas lights go up, presents are given, parties start...It's just fun to me. Yes, it is very busy and very hectic, but I enjoy it. And of course, my birthday also happens to land on Christmas Day, so that's an extra dose of fun for me. :)

Okay, now it's your turn. Pick one of these questions (or all four!) and leave me a comment with your answer! Or you could post it on your blog and leave me the link. I'd love to hear about your Christmas!

And by the way; Merry SITSmas!

The Art of Paper {an update}

I realized the other day that I have not mentioned anything about my shop, The Art of Paper, for quite a while. No, I haven't forgotten about the shop. I just forgot to write about it.

{and those two things are totally different, right?}

Two Trees

Christmas cards are available right now, although it may be a little late to be sending them. But hey, if you want some? Go for it! Otherwise I will be discontinuing them in January and bringing some back next October-ish.

Spread Your Wings

I don't know about you, but I have had major butterfly love lately. I love adding them to my cards. I think I currently have 3 card sets involving butterflies listed, and another set that I need to list, and a set being given away right here. You could say I'm slightly obsessed.

Musical Notes

Love music? Know someone who does? These would be a great gift! Although, I'm kind of tempted to keep them for myself...

My shop has not been a big seller. Which I wasn't really expecting it to be, but I know I could be a little more diligent in promoting my shop. I'd love to see those 4 sales turn into even more. I'm {hoping} to start The Art of Paper--The Blog in January, get a mailing list going, and do some advertising...but I'll be sure to let you know!

So feel free to stop by The Art of Paper, look around...you could even buy something if you really want to. But not because I told you to or anything. 

{Needing Ideas}

Yes, I am needing ideas. And I need all of you to help me out. You see, I came across this Heather Bailey tutorial on how to make yo-yo's (which I'd rather call flowers), so I've been making them.

And stacking them, and adding buttons, and all that good stuff.

But now I'm at a loss.What should I do with these lovely little flowers? I could attach them all to pins, but then where would I use them?

I know you ladies can be creative, so please help this poor girl out.

What should I use these flowers for?

I'm up for pretty much any suggestion. Except for sewing them into a quilt. But you know what I mean.

And maybe if you're really nice, I could send you one?

{Just to Let You Know}

Fabulous K's giveaways are in full swing, and they are lovely. There is some Gussy up for grabs, My Little Buffalo calling cards, a beautiful My Sparrow pillow...trust me, you want to go check it out. All giveaway are open until Dec. 4th, so what are you waiting for?
