Wordless Wednesdays

Almost Wordless Wednesday

I have been drawing or doodling to music with a lot of my younger clients recently and it’s been fun! It’s interesting to see what kinds of images the songs invoke. I thought I’d share some of my doodles with the music that inspired them. If you’d like, feel free to create your own drawings to the songs.

Almost Wordless Wednesday- Christmas Cookies

With this being such a weird year, I didn’t end up making as many cookies as I normally do. I also forgot to take pictures of another bunch of them. Here are some cookie pictures that I did take though.

The cookie platter for Christmas Eve: Lava Salted Caramel Shortbreads, Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies, Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip, M&M cookies, fudge from K1, and cardamom sugar cookies from my Mom.

Pizzelle from K1- Lightly chai spiced

Cinnamon Sugar Swirls

Peppermint cookie bars

I also made peppermint bark, key lime snowballs, peanut butter balls, and whipped shortbread cookies.

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday- Charcuterie Chalet Challenge

So we did something ridiculous, as per usual. We challenged our friends and family to a Charcuterie Chalet Challenge where we built houses out of charcuterie materials instead of gingerbread houses. It was wacky fun! I hope you enjoy the pictures and are inspired to create your own fun events!

Our Log Cabin
The aftermath! It definitely fell apart shortly after the first picture.
K2’s Log Cabin
A’s Meat Tent
K’s House For A Hobbit

And finally The Winner! Title: Frosty’s Getaway. Look at the amount of intricate detailing. The chimney! The path! The snowman!! The pepperchini trees! The tiled salami roof!

K1’s mom made it, so I will be sending her a fun homemade prize after Christmas.

Wordless Wednesday- Magic of Lights

We went to a drive in light show for some Christmas season fun. I tried to pick the least blurry pictures. It’s hard to take pictures in a moving car!

Limbo!
These moved!
