Random Christmas kindness…

I have recently been encouraged by a few lovely random acts of kindness done for me- In the rain a lady held her umbrella while I loaded everyone into the car. In the long post office line a woman randomly walked by with two of the sweetest lambs and gave them as presents to my patiently waiting babies. Later on that same day a surprise cup of coffee picked up what was going to be a very LONG afternoon. I have felt so loved by these early Christmas gifts! It makes me want to be extra kind to everyone.

Here are a few fun sites to peruse as you cozy up under the tree lights:

Our new favorite show was not canceled (hooray) and is now back on! If you like the satirical comedy (of say- The Office or Arrested Development) this one will leave you laughing.

I have present wrapping on the brain and these beautiful pictures were quite inspiring.

What a fun site- have you seen art in my coffee yet? It sent my heart longing for my favorite little coffee place in Seattle.

An easy, functional and adorable laptop cozy, to outfit your mac for the snow.

My next project to copy- these alphabet pillows are awesome. You could even make a monogram of three for a very lucky couple’s winter wedding!

Do you eat Pizzelles? They are my favorite Italian cookie. You need a special machine to press them but it is so worth the effort for their thin flaky goodness, I promise.

Beautiful felt bows and 4 other days of felted projects to keep you busy while stuck inside for winter.

Wishing I lived in proximity to a Restoration Hardware store. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed their stocking stuffers especially this season’s snow-baller or the superhero in a box, how clever!

Finally a D.I.Y. dog collar pocket so your pooch can carry her own bag!

    Love the random acts of kindness. A stranger bought my starbucks the other day when she saw my boys. She has three-year-old identical twin granddaughters. It totally made my day!
