I worked closely with the amazing Keepsakes team to help with the lettering and font selections for the 2023 Everyday Celebrations ornaments. I love how you can read about the artists who worked so hard to bring these ideas to life on the back of each box!

2022 is coming to a close and what a year it has been! This December was filled with time spent celebrating with family and friends, and I’m so grateful to be wrapping up my second trimester of pregnancy. We started the month with a whirlwind weekend at the return of Krikindl Markt at church, celebrating Macy’s baby girl in Wichita, and a few days in Savannah for work. Dale and I attended two holiday parties for his work and I celebrated the holidays with the Junior League of Kansas City Missouri, Fund Development council and hosted an ornament exchange for my Chi O friends. Our family took a trip to Lawrence for my aunt’s annual Vespers concert and Dale and I had a wonderful dinner at Basil Leaf with Grammy Pop. Then we headed into all the traditional Christmas festivities with our families.
On December 23rd I made spritz cookies with my mom and Grace for our annual Christmas Eve party, but next year I would love to add in these gingerbread ones as well!
I’m thinking that next year I want decorate our tree with something special so I’m saving this roundup for inspiration. Maybe I’ll add an orange garland, too?
Loved these beautiful paper angels from Lars
And this classic holiday home decor. Someday I would love to have a staircase to decorate!
Dale and I LOVED season two of White Lotus and this was an interesting read about about the filming and location in Italy
I don’t think 2023 will be a year of travel for us, but bookmarking just in case!
A good review of my favorite skincare line, Biossance
And the easiest, best appetizer I served at my ornament exchange
The most beautiful wedding I”m pinning for color palette inspiration alone!
And an impressive 2022 report card from Chris Loves Julia
A few snapshots on film from a very special (pregnant) Christmas!
With this last Signature Studio Collection card, I’m signing off to celebrate with family. Wishing all who celebrate a Merry Christmas!

When I first saw this lettering for Hallmark Signature in real life I was floored — all the sparkle! While all may not be calm as we head into the last few days before Christmas, I hope lots of calm and peace is ahead for you and your family this holiday season.

The first week of December I had the opportunity to travel to Savannah, Georgia for work. My co-worker, Anna, and I had the best time exploring the city and would highly recommend The Drayton Hotel. Visiting before Christmas was magical because we were able to see all the decorations! Our favorite meals were at Treylor Park, Collins Quarter, and Vic’s on the Water. Don’t miss shopping at The Paris Market, Savannah Bee Co., and the Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters does a wonderful job sharing an accurate history of the house and Savannah. Enjoy!
