Yesterday I felt really Christmassy. It got cold last night (for Florida, anyway) and so I decided it was time to stop thinking about all the awesome Christmas tree ornaments (and all the other projects floating around my head for that matter) I want to make someday, and just make them already!
I got the idea to make salt dough ornaments from The Cheese Thief (who has super creative ideas on her blog every day). I just rolled out the dough, got creative and let it dry over night (also I used whole wheat flour so it looks like sand, which I thought was pretty cool).
I’ll show off the rest of them once they have completely dried and I can add cute ribbons to them. While I had my craft supplies out, I also got to making some of my own jewelry (which is definitely a newer concept for me), so I’ll be sharing that later on as well.
While feeling Christmassy yesterday I came across a pre-made play list on Rhapsody (which is awesome, by the way) called “An Indie Winter Wonderland” which I promptly listened to & discovered this song by Zooey Deschanel’s band She And Him:
Afterward, I listened to the rest of She And Him’s Christmas album and I love it. Also, I got to listen to Justin Bieber’s brand new Christmas album without the embarrassment of actually spending money on it. Oh, the power of Rhapsody.
I made these vegan chocolate chip cookies last night. They look good, right?
They weren’t. But I thought I’d share them anyway since they still look pretty decent. Apparently I put too much salt and/or baking soda. Failure.
Happy December!!
