Five things.

whew! i haven't done a five things post in such a long time! so i think it's time again. my first favorite lately are these fabulous Christmas cards from WHCC! 

i wanted to do something a little softer and cute this year, so a fun cut and texture! click on the first picture to see the art linen paper i chose. i did the design after i did one similar for a friend! that's right.. i took a design i liked from.. myself. The best part is brandon really liked them too. i call that a win. 

i love using this company for almost everything! these are a little more costly, but your choice of a fun cut, paper, and super fast delivery. i had to try it this year for cards. i ordered more two days ago, and they just got here!

my birthday was november 15,  i asked for a lovely Kelly Moore bag this year! i have a great equipment bag that is usually my carry on, but i wanted something to fit ipad, laptop and extra stuff i can have with me below the airplane seat. this bag was perfect! i think i'm done with camera bags... shoot sac. pelican case. backpack and now this beauty. yes. i'm in love.  The Kelly Moore Libby bag

if you're good at stalking me, you might know that i'm not usually a hot coffee drinker, although i'm trying! my new keurig is amazing and used everyday! hot chocolate or otherwise. i do admit, a friend showed me these starbucks packets, and make for a yummy cold coffee. and easy! caramel is the best, and the best part.. there are only 6 packets in each, but i can use one packet three or four days. target. walmart. thank you.

okay so while working from home, my whole life has become coffee related. i feel so grown up. and suddenly.. so much more unhealthy. unhealthy, with more energy! my mom recently visited and showed me this creamer to add to coffee. i've been putting just my rice dream in mine, never bought creamer. and now, i'm hooked. so if you're looking for something new.. try this! it adds to hot chocolate too. drooool. almond joy international delight.

the last is a small gift idea. so last year, i couldn't help but buy plane cufflinks for brandon. and this year, i found these fantastic cufflinks made from a football IN a steelers game. i actually saw baseball ones first, and i think they're way cuter but the steelers fan he is, i went with these! you can find any from a team your man likes, and some official document that says it's real. either way, they're cool. Etsy!

 CRAZY AWESOME NEWS. December 2nd is the one year anniversary of this blog. anything you want to hear, see, learn about or have me ramble about? i'm pretty good at rambling... 

Happy holidays!

I'm obsessed with those Starbucks Via packets and used to keep them in my desk drawer at work for whenever I needed a fix! Now I keep a box on hand at all times since I work from home and don't hit up Starbucks as often.

You should do more of your daily life on your blog! Or different little series like what's in your closet, your purse, on your desk, etc.
