thing one: my dogwood stems are blooming!

i cut them on thanksgiving morning to decorate the table and then kept them for myself. i noticed the fresh green shoots this morning. every time i look at them, i smile ear-to-ear. they are so tiny + sweet + delightful.

thing two: i made a letter from santa claus!

you can download the letter here.

print the letter, write a child’s name in the appropriate spaces, and leave it for them to find.

surprise + delight + magic. (may it be so.)

it’s for you, with love.

p.s. if you have an elf, maybe the elf can deliver the letter. pretty sure that means he doesn’t have to move that night.
