Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #565

Messy Messy Fail - I'm pretty sure that canned coconut is vastly different than coconut milk in the carton (fridge).  That was made clearly evident in my iced matcha latte this morning.

Tidy Victory - I've listened to/read more books this year that I have in nearly 2 decades and I love that for me!



Happiness is Homemade Link Party #565



Welcome to the Happiness is Homemade Link Party 565.  We are excited about another month of sharing, linking, reading, Pinning and inspiration. Linda, from A Labour of Life is our hostess for the month of December, so let’s get started

seb and ninny

As I said last week though, when my life gets overwhelming I seek inspiration from all of you. Something a little different this week because Sebastian is here visiting. Today’s features are specially selected by Seb and I together. Hoping to get some fun ideas this week with Happiness is Homemade 565. This weekend is the last weekend before Christmas, how did that happen?

But enough about me, lets talk about you, Come dazzle us with what you are making, baking or creating this week.
