Happy St. Nicolaus Day!

St. Nicolaus Day is not the kind of holiday anyone around here would know about. That, however, doesn’t mean I can’t celebrate it. Not that I really care about St. Nicolaus, but I like the presents that come with this day. Of course, I can’t expect any presents myself (nobody here knows about St. Nicolaus, remember?), but I still can have presents for others. So today, with the help of some of my students, I baked some cookies to give away to some of my friends. Now, it’s too late to give them to my friends in time for St. Nicolaus Day, but then – since no one really knows about it here anyways – who cares about such things as getting a present exactly on St. Nicolaus Day? I can give them their little gifts any other time, right?! Well then, happy St. Nicolaus Day!

Monday Highlight: Country Christmas

And even though there are tons of adorable new Christmas kits out (I’m a sucker for Christmas kits – have I told you I have tons of them already and still have keep adding new ones to my stash), today I want to show you one Christmas scrapbook that was released last year, but I’m still completely in love with it … Country Christmas by Melissa Bennett Basically, I love everything about this kit. It’s range of colors allows for quite versatile layouts, the embellishments are over all cute and I love the warmth that spreads through each page created with this gem. Here’s a page of mine using “Country Christmas” and a template by Julie Billingsley (part of the Cookies 4 Kids project over at SSD). I just started baking the first Christmas cookies of the season the other day, and Melissa’s kit is just perfect to use for that theme, as it has some cookies …
