One of the best things about being a creative person is that you tend to meet lots of other creative people, and more often than not those creative people blow your minds with their talent. And then sometimes you get jealous and spiral into a deep pit of doubt and self-loathing...but that's not the point.

Red, green and white nordic-themed sugar cookies
This photo sums up the last couple of weeks for me. Cookies, cookies, wine, more cookies, wine. Based on the light in the room it would appear that I took the photo in the middle of the afternoon... oh well, it was 5 o'clock somewhere.

Holiday shaped gingerbread cookies with white royal icing piping decoration
I love Christmas. I love everything about it. I love that stores start playing Christmas carols in October. I love putting my tree up in the first week of November. I don't care about the revolting commercialism of it all. Your judgement means nothing to me.
