Oh my! Have you seen the tiny gingerbread houses perched on cocoa mugs at Not Martha. Are these ridiculously cute or what? I love, love, love them. Eben and I will be out of town for the remainder of the holiday season, but next year we are definitely making these cuties – vegan versions of course!
Hello, Friends. How was your week? If you celebrate Hanukkah – did you have a nice time? Are you excited for Solstice and Christmas? Have you finished your holiday shopping? Did you purchase or give green gifts? Did you use green gift wrap? Questions, questions, questions.
My weekend starts early today at noon with Eben’s class holiday party, complete with games of dreidel and pass the present, a recycled white elephant book party and s’mores making. (Eben’s teacher brings everything to make s’mores including canned heat to melt the marshmallows.) How fabulous is that? The holiday party will be followed by a viewing of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, popcorn and a holiday sing a long. Whew! That is a lot for one afternoon, no?
Tonight will begin by lighting the last candle of Hanukkah and enjoying another fabulous meal together, followed by Hanukkah stories, Eben’s last night of present opening and another round of Super Mario Brothers on Wii. Eben and I will be in Utah spending time with our entire family for the holidays. (I will update you on all the fun Utah happenings while we are there.) Unfortunately, the mister has to work and will be staying home. Boo.
What are your weekend plans?
P.S. Have you entered to win all of the goodies in The 12 Days of Etsy? There are still a lot of goodies up for grabs.
Giveaway number ten is a lovely pair of antiqued copper earrings made from remnants that were headed for the trash. These lovely little earrings are etched, cut and antiqued by a family of four Tracy, Matt, Emily and Matthew Prince from Stepping Stones Etsy Shop. Each family member at Stepping Stones brings creative and humor to the shop. I love, love, love this. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to work everyday with your entire family? Another lovely feature, they are also member’s of Team Eco Etsy.
Tracy has been collecting sea glass and stones since she was a little girl. She and her family do everything that they can to clean up the Earth and create less waste. Tracy has recently started metal smithing and collects the scrap metal that her classmates would usual throw away. She takes this scrap metal and makes things, such as the lovely pair of earrings that are up for grabs. Stepping Stones also specializes in Sea art, just browse their shop and you will find jewelry made from sea glass, sea gems, rocks, pebbles and more. Fantastic. I think anything from Stepping Stones would make a lovely holiday gift.
A lovely thank you to Stepping Stones for hosting this fantastic giveaway.
