It began snowing in Spokane last week and my Christmas spirit began to soar. I love the first snowfall of the season. Please don't melt. Please don't melt.
Today is a special day for me because I get to announce my sweet friend Heather Bullard's Souvenir Magazine has been released today. The HOLIDAY ISSUE.
I love so much about this magazine - that it's produced by women, a true labor of love, and most importantly... it's beautiful and inspiring. It makes me want to create, decorate, and cherish the season even more. That's what happens when I'm inspired.
And, it serves as the platform for the debut food story of my dear and talented friend, Sylvia Fountaine. Her recipes are always a treat and I love how what she puts out thoughtfully walks the reader through the steps. I know you're going to love her feature! BEEE-U-T-FULLL! :)
I also got to join in this time with a story about a day in my life. I hope you enjoy it. (Special thanks to Samantha Cabrera for shooting my story. I adore you.)
Grab some cocoa and come join us. You can purchase and download your issue here!

P.S. I've been away for quite some time. My family has needed me. But now I'm back, feeling joy, and ready to catch up with you. Thank you for being so lovely while I've been away.

Friends are great, but Families are forever! I wish lots of love & joy for you and your family, Serena, throughout this wondrous season.:hug:
It looks like we are going to be able to go home to NC this Christmas. It's been two years since I've seen my family and I am SO excited!

Hello!
Happy to see you back - looking forward to many holiday posts! Do you have any good recipes for Gluten free deserts? Wishing you some sunshine today - it is very cold here today in this part of WI and winter is not even here yet! I am so not a cold weather person although I love looking at it! :<)
Hugs,
Barbara Diane

I only know you through your writings but you are a lovely person, Serena. Happy winter! It is such a lovely time to curl up on the couch with my family in front of the fire and marvel at nature's beauty. :) Thank you for your blog; I so enjoy it!

Dearest Serena,
So glad to have you back! Hope all is well and you are too. Looks like winter is here to stay in northern Alberta, Canada so Christmas is definitely in the forefront of my mind as well. Take good care and I too will be sitting down for a good solid dose of Souvenir.
