Weekend Wrap-Up: Ugly Sweaters, Soup’s On, and Holiday Crafts

Hi Friends!

Hope your Holiday season is going well. This week I had a blast at more work parties, Christmas concerts, getting in a 9 mile run and enjoying Christmas movies!

I also enjoyed my new favorite egg white sandwich from Subway!!! Friends if you haven’t tried Subway’s breakfast sandwiches you must give them a try (my own opinion not paid to say this). I love love the egg white with avocado and lots of veggies! OK, I’ll stop rambling about the sandwich now.

I’m kinda hooked on the Hallmark Channel and having neighbors come over to enjoy them with me is the best!

This year I got a little crafty with presents and made my own chalk board tags. You can buy chalkboard paper and the tags at your local craft store! I also wrapped up all our jars from the McCormick Garden! Of course I had to use burlap (my addiction).
