Wednesday

In our rush for school this morning I forgot to get a photo of end of year gifts for Nicholas and Audrey's teachers.  Small things that make my heart glad - candles, a lip gloss, something sweet, and for Nicholas' teacher a small gift from kikki k also.  The fun really is in the giving.

Audrey has been wanting to make "star biscuits" for weeks - ginger biscuits cut in star shapes with icing and sprinkles on top.  Today's note in the advent calendar read: "make Christmas cookies" so this afternoon we will be busy mixing, rolling, cutting and baking.  We are getting a few things done this year, despite my lack of motivation. 

 
























Next on the Christmas to do list is Christmas sacks...Right now I am burning the last couple of drops of this Crabtree & Evelyn oil. I have been using it each year since David and I were living in our unit. While the scent of the oil with cranberry, orange, persimmon, cinnamon and star anise together with this Loreena Mckennitt cd certainly feel festive, I feel I should be in a woodlands cabin somewhere, surrounded by snow.







 Oh, and we have started reaping from what we have sown!
