This is going to be a long one and it’s a mix of EmeryBodie orders and a few personal anecdotes. I didn’t take any pictures of our family’s Christmas celebrations, but a good time was had by all and we are beyond blessed. Also, I would like to add that we are in the midst of a double bathroom renovation and, although Gipper seems to love the additional people traipsing in and out all day, I am losing my mind over the added disarray. Christmas is half down, drop cloths are everywhere, bathroom contents are all over the guest room….I know it will all be worth it, but SERENITY NOW!

Going back several weeks with this one….we were Elfed by some sweet neighbors and were so excited to return the favor. We surprised two fun families with these goodies one evening. Side note: Ring doorbells have made Booing and Elfing trickier.

I ordered a few of these jewelry rounds with the intention of monogramming a bunch for Emery’s friends, but I ran out of time. Such is life. But I did get one done and I’m smitten.

They’re called “jewelry rounds,” but are also perfect for storing tiny things in a bigger bag.

I was thrilled to add names to these adorable reindeer pajama tops.

A customer asked me to monogram/embellish some aprons for her little ones.

This request for a personalized stocking was perfection. I love this idea.

A custom request for a teacher who loves Michigan and pink.

Apparently quite a few schools around here allow only clear water bottles. I was not aware of this until I had a few requests to embellish said clear bottles. These are for siblings headed to Disney!

Monogrammed saddle pads. These are such a fun gift for the equestrienne in your life.

I made some reindeer feed and created little buckets for it as my hostess gifts on Christmas Eve. The feed is just oats and sprinkles.

My niece and nephew in Atlanta each received a SUP from Santa, and so did Emery! With the weather being so mild lately, we wasted no time heading down to Bishop’s Lake in Marietta for a cousin paddle. My sister and I each have a board as well, so we had plenty of room for Bodie to jump from board to board. He said he wants to wait another year or two before he’s responsible for his own paddling. Smart kid.

For real….

I know this post is super random…I did a horrible job documenting Christmas. Here’s hoping I can get back in the swing of things soon! I hope you all have a happy and healthy 2020! We are heading to a friend’s house to celebrate (with the kids), so not sure if we’ll make it to midnight or not. Cheers!
