Tonight’s the night… and Santa Claus is comin’ to town!!! So why not celebrate with some sweet treats and a little Christmas Caroling?! Feel free to sing-along… ahhh, remember road-trips back when you could still drive in the car with friends???

Not to ruin the surprise… but Santa’s coming tonight. And I’m pretty sure I know what’s going to be in his big red bag for many of you!!!

So I ran out quick to the studio this afternoon, and on my way back I “just happened” to pass LICKITY SPLIT near my house! I noticed they were open this afternoon, but closed tomorrow!

Knowing that I will be “celebrating” the holidays at home alone… I splurged and bought myself a little treat for tomorrow! We’re drawing near the end of “Flavor of the Month” eggnog frozen custard… which is needed for my all-time favorite Eggnog Snap!!! Eggnog custard, caramel sauce & gingersnap cookies blended together!

Okay, panic set in… and I “may have” bought more than one…
allegedly... I mean, it’s going to be a long Winter’s night, right?!

Doing a little holiday baking today… just finished a batch of double-chocolate brownies to share at all of my festive holiday get-togethers!

Oh wait… there are none as we’re abiding by “the rules” and staying safe & socially-distanced. Guess I need to eat all of these by myself?… oh shucks!!!

Hard to believe it’s already Christmas Eve?!
It seems like just yesterday that I hung my advent calendar and started adding an ornament each day. And it seems like just a month or two ago that the big quarantine shutdown happened… where did this year go?!!! Sheesh!!!

Apparently the Christmas Carol is correct…
Santa Claus IS indeed coming to town!!!
As I found this little festive cutie in the hallway by the Kid’s Classroom at Lillstreet Art Center!

So the first mug “snagged” from today’s MUGSHOT MONDAY STUDIO SALE was “The Grinch” mug! And then the new owner got home to find a gift of macarons & tea waiting for her… and her heart grew three sizes that day!

A quick reminder that the MUGSHOT MONDAY SALE continues until 7:00pm in my studio. Lots of great mugs still looking for the forever homes!

Something caught my eye…
looks like a “spark” of Christmas Cheer glistening in the mid-day sun!
A festive flare of Christmas colors to brighten the day!

It’s beginning to look LOT like Christmas!!!… EVERYwhere you go! So festive & fun to see how one of my ceramic totem poles is now surrounded by Christmas Cheer!!! It’s a crazy mix of holiday fun out in the suburbs these days!!! Thanks Chris!
