2017 Christmas Card Photos
Dale and I decided to get new pictures taken for our Christmas card this year — here are a few of my favorites! We had a really hard time deciding which one to use on our actual card. Thank you Bethany!
November Around The Web
It's hard to believe 2017 is almost over! This time of year always flies by with the holidays, but I still can't believe that tomorrow is December 1st. This month was full of celebration — I went to two weddings, spent a weekend with close friends visiting us in St. Louis, and we made it through our elaborate Thanksgiving festivities. I also led a fun workshop, designed an entire calendar, and created some lettering I'm really proud of (and will someday get to share!). AND Dale and I got some new photos taken (thanks, Bethany!) which I will be sharing here very soon! Around the web this month I loved seeing Cassandra's Flora & Henri feature. Interior, both home and retail, spaces have really caught my eye lately. Here are a few other favorites:

I would love to try Shibori!
This DIY has had me pondering which of my sweaters could use a few pom-poms...
We did not cook very much this month, but once we have a free night at home I would love to try out this pasta recipe
And a few more interior spaces

Grateful for a lot this year.
Thanksgiving 2017
Thankful for sisters, Otto, Pumpkin Roll, Dale, loving family & friends, an amazing job, access to healthcare, opportunities to travel, and another holiday season in KC! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Book Wish List
With the holidays right around the corner I have been gathering a book wish list to share with family and friends and I decided I would go ahead and share it here as well! I constantly add books to my Amazon wish list and usually end up buying the kindle or audible version. However, lots of these are ones where I would really love to have the hard copy. Happy shopping/reading!
