A Photo Journal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Who else loves biscotti? And dipping in a steaming cup of something? I didn’t do a lot of baking this year, but managed to make cranberry nut biscotti and gingerbread men. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dabbing in watercolours is soothing for the soul, at lease for me. This month is was all about gift tags. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My husband had last week off and we indulged in a Harry Potter marathon. I recently read an article<\/a> that explained why some of us love to rewatch or reread old favourites, especially when times are stressful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I miss my office space. I’m currently writing at the kitchen table and sharing space with a puzzle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, I’m not a huge fan of Christmas movies, The Muppet Christmas Carol is my favourite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are facing an upside down Christmas here. Omicron is spreading, and once again Christmas celebrations will be smaller. But we’ve got a roof over our head, food to eat, and we’re looking toward the future. Lots of exciting things happening in 2022. We move back into our house in February and I have plans to release the first book of a new contemporary series. More about those things in the new year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until then…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
