C H E E R S… and i’ll see you in 2013!

handmade with love by: me

when i was growing up, sugar cookies was something my mom and i made every holiday season. i didn’t realize how much work it was until i decided to make some of my own this year. even though i had to run to the grocery store at 11 pm because i ran out of flour, i’m fortunate enough that my mom’s baking skills trickled down onto me. after finally getting the dough to a consistency that was manageable, the cookies turned out quite delicious and pretty darn cute! with cello bags and circle labels i already had, i packaged each one individually to give as gifts to my little (and a few big) cousins at our family holiday party.  sometimes the smallest gift can contain the most love.  and these cookies were definitely made with lots of love!

i hope it’s as SWEET as can be!

thirty-three

so yesterday i turned thirty-three.  it was a cold rainy day and i was feeling a bit under the weather, but none of that mattered because i was filled with so much love and warmth from all the birthday wishes i received from all my friends and family, both, near and far, old and new, online and offline.

i was also spoiled with lots of amazing gifts too!  i am one happy and very lucky girl and so very thankful and blessed to be surrounded with such thoughtful and caring people.  🙂

with christmas around the corner, there’s not really much left to ask for when you feel so full already!
