The holidays are over, and so are my excuses about getting things posted over here. As usual, it was a whirlwind. But I got to spend some good time with family, with my sister visiting in New York and then in Texas with my parents and extended family. My niece got a vintage doll house that my mom restored and I may or may not be a little jealous.

It snowed this weekend and Vlad and I picked up our Christmas tree, and that's put me in the holiday spirit. Of course we haven't decorated it yet because he's been working and I've been laid out with a cold, but the apartment smells like pine and I busted out the Christmas candles, so I'm satisfied for now.

These were a fun project I did a few weeks back and gave to some more of my fabulous coworkers—Ashley, Brittney, and Maggie.
