much love monday.

i like to use monday as a way to reflect on the previous week, to start anew, and to send a little love into the world.  won't you join me?    

today i am grateful for:

welcome, Christmas.  bring your cheer.  cheer to all whos far and near.  :)

pictures worth a thousand words:

{pretty packages under the tree}

 {keeping my holiday sparkle at the ready}

 {got lots of wrapping accomplished this weekend.  used this technique for these lovely bows}

{a big stack of christmas cards are on their way today}

{sunday evening on the couch, watching elf, and enjoying the lights}

this week's blog love:

• the glitter guide's gift guide that gives back is such a lovely idea.
• great ideas for cookie packaging by channeling contessa.
• the sweetest occassion has done such a great job with her 4-part holiday card round-up.
• i adored the everygirl's guide to what to wear to every type of holiday fete!
• camille styles' holiday open house with kate spade was so charming.

here's to another grateful and love-filled week.
