school closed = productivity on my end.

so. i have this thing about planners & calendars. i am obsessed with them and am always looking for new ones. in my blog surfing this weekend, i found this! it looks amazing. the downfall? it's $50 :( but i am seriously considering it. is that bad? 


i am working on goodies to take for new years eve.  the carmel pretzels were a  big fail. i left them in the oven too long and the carmel melted all over the place. buuut i may still take them. who knows. this afternoon calls for chocolate covered carmels & chocolate covered pretzels. 


i just downloaded the new matt nathanson cd "modern love." so far, it's amazing. worth a listen.


i am currently memorizing my 30th and 31st Bible verse. it's amazing how doing something like this is life changing. i never thought i would be able to memorize scripture like this. but so far, so good. fifteen weeks down :) 

a day of crafting with my best friend. 

result? signs that still need to be strung.

finally strung one of them. [at least it is the current season]

 hung on my coat closet door.

got to spend time with this kid.  not my nephew by blood, but i am still auntie rachel :) 

opening presents.

organizing my new [to me] desk. got it free from friends.

i have always wanted a roll top desk. and no, i am not an elderly person.

happy almost new years eve. have fun & be safe.
