winter favourites.

I'm not a big fan of winter (specifically the driving), however, there are a few things that make me excited for the season. Here's a few of the latest things I've been loving...

Burl Ives and "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas". He was in one my favourite movies of my childhood, and I love hearing him on the radio during Christmas time.

Stomping through the snow in my big warm Sorels.

A freezer full of goodies ready to be given away (and eaten!) I made these Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Truffles. Beware, they even taste good straight out of the freezer.

The Cinnamon candle at my front door. From my coworker, Debbie, who showed up one morning with this gift for me. Smells amazing!

What are your current favourite winter things?

cute DIY gift idea.

Hey all, check out this cute DIY idea I saw over at design*sponge - candles in vintage tins. This idea comes at a perfect time, since I have recently been admiring some pretty tins at the thrift store, but I didn't buy them because I didn't have a use for them - now I do! They even give you the instructions for how to make them. Enjoy! (ps these would also make a great gift idea...Christmas is coming!)
