I've really been tucking into winter and enjoying all the wintery things there are to do. First off, napping. I feel I've finally caught up on sleep, which I must say is one of the best feelings. Life has at last calmed down a bit for our little family, so after napping the holiday decoration box came up from the basement yesterday. 

There will be bread in the oven today (this tried and true banana bread recipe from Stephanie of Agnes and Hoss). And today I think I'll brave the 13 degree weather to hang the pine garland at the front door, and venture out for our tree! 

Betsy and I have something in the works for your tree, or perhaps for adorning your garlands, as well as a special surprise thank you to all of the wonderful folks who have supported our little paperie this past month and a bit! It's hard to believe Hello Handmade is only one month old, it's been such great fun!

Happy Monday to you, dear ones!
