christmas in july

i'm on a christmas kick.

for some reason,

95% of my pins from the last week revolve around christmas.

my bad.

i think 100degree weather and high humidity have me dreaming of cooler temperatures and santa's reindeer...153 days till christmas! :)

o. and most of these are sweets too.

my bad again.

these are so cute!

i'm a huge fan of peppermint, marshmallows and hot chocolate,

so i'm pretty sure me and these marshmallow stirring sticks are destined to be besties.

i'm not really sure if i'd be able to eat a cookie a cute as one of these,

but i probably would.

peppermint whoopie pies anyone?

yes please! :)

mine probably wouldn't turn out quite as cute as these,

but i'm told treats that look "homemade" are charming.

is it wrong that i don't have children and i still want to do this?

don't make fun,

but i still leave cookies for santa and carrots for his reindeer.

i feel terrible that i never thought about the elves.

i've got years of making up to do.

i've always wanted to make canned gifts,

and i think this might be my year.

peppermint stick hot chocolate in a cute jar.

yes please!

i love advent calendars, and i love how interactive these are.

i've seen a few versions of these floating around on the internet,

but i love the scrapped look of this one.
