favorite things

I always like to document a few of my gifts from each Christmas: 

 a journal and a cities of america calendar both from rifle paper co.

 I love this bkr water bottle!

 books are always in my favorites

 some soft merino wool

and one gift I gave this year was this tote I made using Abi's tutorial. I made one for all the girls on my list (and a couple for me.) They all loved them, so thanks Abi! and I already use mine for everything!
