5 things for the weekend 23.44
eggnog plus gingerbread, modpodge with ink, good hosting, quick gift knits, non-stuff gift ideas
Are you starting to feel just the mildest bit of panic? I had a moment today when I kind of freaked out thinking about everything on my list for the weekend. I just kept repeating to myself “ I just need to make it through the next 48 hours and I’ll be good.” I sure hope I’m right!
I sat with my planner and made a list of the remaining tasks, and scheduled them in on my December calendar. I’m dropping things that I know just won't happen, and won’t even be missed, because I’m the only one who knows of their potential existence. You know what I mean right?
I hope that if you are indeed feeling a bit anxious about the upcoming two weeks, that you stop, take a breath, sit with your planner, and assess your list going forward.
Let us know how you combat these feelings during the Holiday season!
5 Things
1. As a crafter, you’ve probably used ModPodge or similar glues for just about everything. How well does it work with different pens, markers and other liquid media? Amy investigates here.
2. These mini eggnog bundt cakes with gingerbread antlers mix all the best tastes of Christmas.
3. Doing some hosting this Holiday season? Here’s how to give your parties good energy.
