Christmas in July

Recently I was inspired by Patience Brewster and thought I would spread some early Christmas cheer! For those of you new to Patience Brewster, Patience is an artist of handmade and handcrafted unique gifts and ornaments. Here work is truly beautiful and I was more than happy to join them.

There are many reasons that I love the holiday-being together with my family, picking out our tree, buying and wrapping gifts, making cookies, waking up on Christmas morning....there is so much joy that surrounds December and I always aim to do my best to document this time of year. 

One of my personal holiday favorites is the return of the red cup at Starbucks. Nothing says Christmas is near better than the taste of a hot gingerbread latte!

On this particular day last year it was raining, so I took my dog with us to pick up my son at school. Of course, I left early so I could swing by Starbucks before heading off to battle the masses of a rainy day school pick up!

I used a mix of old and older Christmas products for this layout. One of the great qualities of holiday scrapping supplies is that they never seem to go out of style and because of this I give myself permission to keep it all!

Well, I will have to say that opening up my box of Christmas supplies has certainly ignited some excitement for the closer-than-you-think-it-is holiday season. And this is a good thing! I feel like hitting Pinterest and actually tackling some of those holiday crafts I always wish I had time to do ;).
 
Thanks for stopping by!
