Christmas Sneak Peeks

Let me just begin by saying that it is cold here in Vancouver. Very cold. Bleeping cold. Cold like I'm sitting here in my office wearing mitts and a scarf kind of cold. Yo, Mother Nature - did you miss the fact that we've got palm trees everywhere?! Take your freezing temperatures and your frost and your ridiculous wind chill elsewhere please. Brrrrrrrr!

Now that I've got that off my chest, I'd like to warm things up by sharing a few sneak peeks of my Christmas in the City tree. Obviously the tree isn't up yet but I have pulled out my box of ornaments in preparation. Here are some of my favorites:

New York City taxi cab, loaded up with presents. Love it.

Zebra print bulb because y'all know I love zebra print.

And, I'm not gonna lie, this last one is my favorite ....

City skyline ornament, made by yours truly!

Last Friday night was girls' night and we decided to branch out from our usual routine of board games and chick flicks and make some Christmas crafts instead. I, being the self-proclaimed "Martha Stewart wannabe" of the group, was in charge of coming up with the craft idea. Turns out, making your own Christmas bulbs is easy peasy.

I bought some clear glass ornaments at Michaels and busted out my glitter, Sharpie pens, acrylic paint and self-adhesive rhinestones and bling. We all had a blast getting creative and everyone came up with really unique, clever designs.

That's it for now. I'm off to grab a coffee from Starbucks.
