The December Martha Stewart Living landed in my mailbox this week. Above are some of my favorite images + holiday ideas. "Joy" spelled out in lights. Initial stamped cookies. Pine cone gift tags & little elves. Craft perfect just as expected.

A few other fun links from around the web :

  • I had promised myself JUST ONE calendar for 2010. But then I saw this. So now I'll have two.
  • fabric gift wrap
  • a sunlight engagement shoot with fantastic balloons.
  • I need to make these for dessert next week.
  • the third photo here motivates me to make a quilt. The whole set motivates me to find us a house.

Can you believe we're halfway through November? I cannot. Cannot, cannot.

I am teaching a scrapbook minibook workshop this weekend. It will by my first REAL LIFE scrapbook workshop. I'm excited. I'll let you know how it goes. Right now, I have to get to work. xo, happy weekend, elise.

    I’m glad you pointed this out. . . think I need to head off to the newstand and pick up a copy! At first, I thought you made all of these, and wondered if you had sweet Christmas elves living in your house!
