Or two horse, as the case may be! It’s my last week down South before heading back to Connecticut for the holidays on Saturday, and I’m already getting excited about the possibility of a white Christmas! We haven’t had one in a few years (and by that I mean snow actually falling on Christmas morning), but I’m still holding out hope.

My Christmas cards! Or, at least one version of them (I made three this year). These definitely have a handmade quality to them, but I actually love that you can tell I cut the circles by eye. Also, the colors are a nice twist on traditional red and green, don’t you think?
