Christmas is Soon!

Over the study break and when I came home, we've been doing lots of baking, baking and more baking — Shortbread, cookie cutouts, chocolate covered pretzels, caramel popcorn, ginger snaps and more! In addition to baking, my dad and I have been decorating them, and then I've been photographing them for iStock on a white background. We had a lot of fun making them, and I'm so happy with the end result! Here are some pictures of our delicious adventures :)




My favourite were the Citrus Snowflake cookies at the top. I was very impressed with my dad's piping skills! 

Emma comes home soon, and I can't wait to have the family all together again!

5/8

I am now 5/8 done my university career, or half way done my third year. I can't believe there's only three more terms to go! It's been a fairly busy December. I went home on the 3rd for a relaxing study break at home — but instead each day was filled with decorating, baking, eating, studying, and taking LOTS of pictures! I have sorted through most, but there are still lots to upload to iStock.

I travelled back to Mississauga on Tuesday, wrote my only two exams on Thursday and Friday, and now I'm home again. I am pretty excited because I have quite a bit on my to-do list this year and I'm only here until January the 3rd.

Hopefully now that I'm home I will have plenty of time to blog, even though the days are filling up more and more. I have fallen behind in the Blogspot world since being busy with exams and trying to keep my photography blog as up to date as possible. I'm looking forward to having a [hopefully] relaxing holiday with friends and family!
