Welcome to Litsy!

My husband gave my reading corner a mini makeover and a copy of Jean Brodie and Robbie Burns poetry for our trip to Scotland next week #bucketlist apparently it‘s my Diamond Jubilee Tour 🤣🤣

I‘ll be spending NYE in my blanket fort! It‘s my first one ever! It‘s quite cozy and it won‘t be my last. And yes, I‘ve had champagne in my fort. 🤣
My holiday #bucketlist board is now complete!!

I made a GF gingerbread cake a couple of days ago…it turned out well! The recipe calls for a bit too much molasses for my taste, but other than that, it‘s good. Another holiday #bucketlist item done!

Feeling a little under the weather today so spent the evening with a holiday flavored cup of tea and watching this not-quite-Christmas movie, which I luckily have on DVD since my internet is still out

I painted my first portrait - it‘s my sister. My daughter guided me through the process. At first I thought it was going to be a monstrosity, but it turned out okay. #LitsyCrafters #BucketList

More holiday #bucketlist items done. Yesterday, I saw something I knew my mom would love so I got it for her, just because. That‘s my RAK. And today, I made GF peppermint brownies, which turned out really good! Making a GF peppermint treat gave me another bingo! Recipe link below.

One of my holiday #bucketlist activities was to paint my nails to look ✨festive✨ This is the first year that I've actually had nails to do anything with as I've finally (mostly) stopped biting them down to nothing. Only took 30 years to kick that habit 🙈
So anyway here are my abstract Santa hat and Christmas tree nails 🎅🏼🎄 cause I'm not that talented lol 💅🏻

More holiday #bucketlist items accomplished today - spent the whole day in Christmas pajamas and made a holiday-themed cocktail. I‘ve always wanted to try a Jack Frost…it‘s a pretty cocktail and now I know it‘s also really good! The recipe I made is in the link below. And also earned another bingo!

Another holiday #bucketlist item done today. Had a classic holiday movie marathon - How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Miracle on 34th Street, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and The Santa Clause!

One of the things on my holiday #bucketlist was to make a homemade peppermint sugar scrub, and it turned out nicely! It smells good and feels good. It would make a cute gift and there‘s a gift label you can print! Sharing the link in case anyone wants to try it!
