Not complaining though, I love any bright sparkly thing that gets me through winter :') hope you're all having a happy and safe holiday season and end of the year! sending love from korea always!

You have this uncanny ability to portray a place, and life itself, as a series of picturesque moments that normally shouldn't or wouldn't fit together, yet you manage to stitch them together in a way that's charming, engaging and somehow fits. Even with a mask on, you still look happy which is nice to see. Merry Christmas Cari! May you and yours have a happy and blessed holiday.

I didnt want to order online and despite having purchased ingredients I didnt get the cookie cutter shapes in time so I had to purchase some from a bakery. OMG it was so difficult to find any here in the South West of Berlin. Finally I found some... but OMG they were so SO UGLY... looked like demon Halloween Santa more than anything else ^^ I wish I could post a picture here... but I signed up for the gingerbread men - so I had to provide those for the Christmas party 🙈
