Mail Day

A couple of months ago I was informed I won a giveaway from We The Sciencey! Now, I don't typically win many things. I find I'm usually bad luck. So when I do win I just feel ridiculously excited about it. I was so happy to hear I won and jumped up and down. See, I also didn't know exactly what I won which made it even more fun. I just knew it was amazing goodies from We The Sciencey's Etsy shop.... look at my prizes!!!


I'm so excited to use these stamps on packages and letters! I have a bunch of ink pads from a friend so I've already used these stamps in every colour I own... so many colours! If you're waiting on any letters or packages from me, just wait to see your envelope!


And look at the pencil they sent me! And the adorable pouches for the stamps!

Holiday Treats

First, do you like eggnog? I know it's something people usually love or hate. There's no middle ground. I'm a big fan of it myself. It's sweet and creamy. And it tastes really good with rum or amaretto. It's definitely a treat I enjoy throughout December.



Recently while Christmas shopping I stopped in Sephora and came across the Philosophy Holiday line. Their Old Fashioned Eggnog Shampoo/Shower Gel/Bubble Bath smells amazing! Exactly like eggnog! I wanted to drink the bottle right there in the store.

It's a pricey bottle of shampoo so I didn't buy it. But I will definitely be checking to see if it drops in price after Christmas. Though Adam doesn't like eggnog, I like the idea of smelling like it for me!

I've also been trying the Davids Tea holiday flavours. Cookie Dough was surprisingly satisfying. The after taste really does taste like cookies. I'm eager to try their Cocomint Cream next.

My Mom picked me up a bag of Andes baking bits when she went shopping in the U.S. recently. I knew I had to try out these cookies that I came across on Pinterest using them.



Oh my, were they good! I took pictures but I didn't realize just how blurry they were until I uploaded them on the computer. My cookies had more chocolate pieces throughout them and they didn't turn out as green, even though I put in the right amount of food colouring as the recipe states. Either way, I highly recommend these cookies!

And on a completely different topic, I recently did an interview with Kristy at Indie Girl Blogs. It was posted today and there's also a giveaway! Go check it out!

New Project: Cat Toys

Good evening!

I wanted to let you know about a new project that I've been working on. I've been thinking about making cat toys for quite some time now. I always have scrap fabric from my other projects and I thought this would be a fun project to try out.

I've made a few test toys to give to my kitties and some friends' kitties. Seymore is pretty rough with toys. He tears through felt toys quickly because he's a 'kicker'. So far the toys I made him have held up great. He's been quite possessive of the toys and he doesn't like to share them with Logan. But I guess that means it's a good toy.

Right now I have a giveaway on my facebook page for a chance to win one of my new cat toys (you pick any one from the picture below)! All you have to do is comment on the picture on my page and I'll be drawing a winner on Sunday night.

Cat Toy Giveaway

They're made with cotton fabric and filled with polyester fibres and cat nip.

Have a good weekend!
