Sure, there are specific colors that are assigned to certain times of the year. Certain holidays. You can’t get through Valentine’s Day without seeing red or pink. You can’t do Halloween without orange or black. Christmas means red and green. But I love mixing it up when I wrap gifts and love throwing in other colors. Sometimes even ones that are unexpected, but still give you a sense of the season or cause for celebration. Sweet Harvey‘s letterpress holiday cards are a perfect papaya, pool and chocolate example…

I can’t even guess how many times I hit the snooze on the alarm this morning before forcing myself out of bed to just barely make it to my workout. When I wake up and turn on my computer I check the weather first. The temperature read at 45 degrees or so. It was cold {at least for me}. So, naturally, you know what happens when I’m cold. Yup, let more posts featuring handmade cozies commence.
