Currently: December 2018

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and the final post for one of the most wonderful series around. Thank you, Anne, in Residence for hosting Currently each month. It’s one of my favorites!

This month it’s all about what is currently happening holiday wise. Here goes.

Gifting ~, Of course, I’ll be gifting for others, but the truth is I’ve done a little gifting for myself during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. One of my best purchases was products from Monat. Have you heard of them? Best hair care ever. I mean that sincerely. I’ve tried so many products but Monat is the one that repairs my hair and helps it to grow and thicken.

Baking ~ I haven’t started baking anything yet, but I plan to one day soon. Since I never met a cookie I didn’t like, I went to Pinterest for the Best Christmas Cookies to find ideas. This is where I’m starting.

Singing ~ Like everyone else I’ve been singing Christmas songs. Either on the radio or YouTube. One of my favorites is the Third Day Christmas Offerings Concert Live in Texas.

Mailing ~ I’ll probably be mailing a few gifts or have Amazon or someone else takes the hassle out of getting to the Post Office. I didn’t plan ahead for Christmas cards this year. Sometimes things just don’t happen. Life always happens, though!

Decorating ~ We are fully decorated and I’m thrilled with how everything turned out. Joy!

What are you up to currently? Be sure to stop by Anne in Residence and add your post and find some new friends!

Have a beautiful day and a blessed and Merry Christmas!

Hugs, Carrie

    This is a great time of year to buy things for yourself, it's all on sale! My bff and I buy things for ourselves and then wrap them, put them under the tree and say, Oh wow, Santa got me that! Ha! I will start baking, which I love soon. I always look forward to it. One year we didn't do Christmas cards, I was too busy and stressed and you know what? The world went on. Take care of YOU Carrie!!! xo, Kellyann
  • Haha, you and me both, I was gifting myself some stuff too on Black Friday and Cyber Monday :) Although thankfully half of it went back because it didn't fit, phew! Better on the pocket book!
  • I've done a little baking already this season, but my cookies and treats don't last long because I like to give them away or share them at the office. Your decor looks beautiful, Carrie! Merry Christmas!
  • Yep, I would make any of those Christmas cookies. Yum! And I love your mantel - so festive. Enjoy the season!!
  • Those cookies look so good - I'll take one of each!

    I just have Christmas cards from the store, but I do need to get those in the mail...as well as some gifts!! I did a little shopping for myself too with all these deals, but I tried to mostly focus on others. :) -Lauren www.shootingstarsmag.net
  • I just love your Christmas decorations! Isn't it extra fun to decorate in a new home?! I wish I could come visit :)
