December 11: What is your go-to holiday red (or pink) lip? As long as it's red, that's my go-to! 😁
December 1: What puts you in the holiday spirit the most? Christmas music and decorations
December 2: What fragrance gives you total holiday vibes? I don’t have a holiday scent but I bought Chanel Coco Mademoiselle the Xmas when I stated working after college so Xmas memory there
December 3: What holiday movies are on your watch list? Which ones haven't you seen yet? Die Hard (haha I’m lame 😂🤣). All the real Xmas movies😜 I’ve seen bits here and there but never the whole movie
December 4: Who would you like to kiss under the mistletoe? My husband and son
December 5: What is your decorating style? Light and lots of light
December 6: If you could give Santa an insane beauty wish-list, what would be on it? Get me all the perfumes so I can sniff (wait didn’t Santa already do that?)
December 7: What traditions do you like to follow? Are there any new ones you want to start? Having a Christmas tree at a minimal. I like to help my kid decorate the front yard
December 8: What holidays songs (or singers) are some of your favorites? (And which ones do you cringe when you hear?!) Last Christmas, Baby it’s cold outside… seriously I like all of them
December 9: What was the best gift you ever received? What gift was the best you ever gave? An iPad. Almost every year I give my husband Diptyque Oud Palao and Tom Ford Neroli Portofino and he used up every drop so money well spent
December 10: What kind of greeting cards are your favorite to send...and to receive? Now this makes me sad. I love cards but I rarely send one and therefore rarely receive back. Nowadays I just text and it’s sad. Maybe one day I will make time to make handmade cards
@blackkitty2014 So much cuteness in your lists- I enjoyed reading it!
December 10 - my favorite holiday cards to send are hand made, but I always hope for photos in return.
My pup’s Christmas cameo a couple of years ago. I think her face says it all.
@eshoe ,
These are both wonderful cards! Beautiful handmade card. 😍
I love your pup! So cute. Priceless expression!
Thank you for the kind words, @tsavorite! Thankfully my pup responds very well to treats, so she puts up with minor inconveniences like this once in awhile☺️
@eshoe The card looks like it took a long time to make! The antlers on your dog- cute! Did he fight you when you put them on?
The card, yes, it seemed to take too long, @Ispend2much6. The first time, anyway. I learned to enjoy it and it ended up being a nice little escape!
I bought those antlers on Etsy, and no-they are absolutely not enjoyed! That look happens every time I put them on her😂
@eshoe I get it. Repetitive, not-so-thought consuming activities can be very relaxing. Making pasta is that way for me, every time. I should make it more often.
Do you hand crank it, @Ispend2much6? I have one and maybe I should pull it down from the very top shelf, although I am afraid it would just sit around for a few days before I put it back.
It is almost Christmas cookie time!
@eshoe Last year I did, and it was very therapeutic. I also have the Kitchenaid Roller, but you have to work fast and not take many breaks to use it. If I was making days' worth of pasta, I would use it, but for Christmas dinner, the hand roller is fine.
Agh! I am starting to fear I won't bake. I just can't get motivated.
I think we could hang out together in real life and have a lot of fun. All of you West Coasters need to move East, and bring your families. 🙂
I don’t know, @Ispend2much6 - I am a little intimidated by the weather on the eastern half!
I know, it is getting close and I am nowhere nearing to baking than I was a month ago. I did buy some extra flour and butter today, so…progress?
@eshoe - Those two cards are incredible! As a crafter, I can understand the time and effort that goes into making a handmade card. These a wonderful! 💖💖💖
Aww thank you @Titian06! It is nice to be able to share it with others ☺️
@eshoe Omg that is amazing. Also love your fur babies pic with Santa.
Thank you @SportyGirly125. I knew you would understand the work that went in to something this seemingly…insignificant. Hand gluing every snow dot, flower and sequin snowflake at first really annoyed me. Once I realized that I should just appreciate the fact that I had the actual time to do it, it became a lot more enjoyable.
@eshoe Isn’t it sort of relaxing? I kind of get lost in it. That reminds me of when I was making paper flowers and getting burned by the glue gun but the finished product was worth it.
@SportyGirly125 I only realized after buying my daughter a glue gun that they had ‘low-heat’ ones. So much better! The product is always worth it, I remember your paper flowers from exchanges here and they were always incredible.
December 10: What kind of greeting cards are your favorite to send...and to receive? I know most people now send photo notecards, but my favorite to send and receive are traditional cards. I've always gotten a happy feeling from opening up cards. I like the thrill of opening up an envelope, then seeing the front of the card, then opening it and reading the inside. As a child I really enjoyed seeing the variety of cards that people sent my family, from stoic Christian cards to modern cards with a cityscape. It was interesting to see each sender's style.
As an adult, I like to send cards that are somewhat "traditional." I've sent ones with angels, ones with faux velvet, Victorian-style ones, vintage-inspired ones, and ones with glitter. I personally prefer ones that say "Merry Christmas," and I keep ones that say "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Holidays" to my send to friends that do not celebrate Christmas. I'm pretty rigid in my card preferences, in that I like a heavier card stock and envelope. It can be hard to meet my expectations! I just had a co-worker tell me that she looks forward to my cards every year; my dad ran into a family friend that said the same. I kind of feel like I have a standard to uphold!
I really wish I had kept one of each that I've sent in the last decade, b/c there really were some beauties.
December 10 - My favourite gift cards to receieve are surprise ones in the mail. I like to send ones it the mail with Christmas family photos as a surprise for family. I like receiving cards that have winter weather scenes and i like sending trendy cards with sparkles and a fancy font. A funny Christmas card is always classic.
