How was your November? What is one thing that you are thankful for? Do y'all still like reading my wrap-ups? Are you ready for winter?
I'm glad you had a good month, and your pictures were great! Peppermint ice cream is my favorittteeee, I still have yet to get some this year though. :P
ReplyDeleteIt was a good month! How was your November?
DeletePeppermint ice cream is AMAZING!! It's my favorite flavor! It's too bad that it is seasonal.
Peanut butter chocolate comes in a close second... well, cherry cordial is really good too. I just about like ALL ice cream! (But maybe not Chyanne pepper ice cream, I think that is a little crazy!)
Thanks for reading this wrap-up, Gray!
Love how you always summarize your months so well and in a very aesthetic way!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Skye! Your complement made me smile! <3
DeleteMy mouth has been busy as well. The hot chocolate looks so good!

Rosie is the cutest thing ever!!!! I love her name.

Thank you, Liberty! I'm thrilled you liked reading this wrap up post! <3
DeleteAren't they??!! That park we went to had so many colorful autumn leaves!
Aww, I think she is too! Me too! It fits her well! :)
It was pretty delicious! And my mom surprised me by bringing it home for breakfast twice! One of those times, I added more chocolate syrup, peppermint whip cream, and sprinkles! :D Yummy! *winks*
I enjoy reading your wrap up posts, Brooklyne!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a really fun month.
Yay for snow! I’m still waiting for it to snow here. ;)

I loooove lint chocolate balls!!!!!!😍 the Christmas cards were so adorable!! My favorite was the one with the leafy vines. Rosie is super cute!! I I’ve been riding my horse(s) a lot too. Bendy booth is the funniest thing isn’t it! I don’t even do it any sore because I’m afraid i’ll Die of laughter.
ReplyDeleteYessss! They are my favorite! Thank you! The cards were lots of fun to make! I like the leafy one too! Rosie is getting her winter coat... she's all fluffy now.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Delete( catching up on blogs) November for me has been survival. I'm down to the final strip of work at tonight my final bit of the semester project will be submitted. All I have left will then be finish my final landscape design design then be done. Before I start that final project finish up though, I am in clean room mode. So, november has offcially been the month of stress.
ReplyDeleteHow old are you now? You mentioned something about age change. And your november sounds wild. I like your wrap ups by the way.
Sounds like you had a crazy month. Thanks for reading my post!
DeleteOOO GIRL!! That smoothie looks so good! I love these kinds of wrap ups that are bullet points! <3
ReplyDeleteSimply Me
That smoothie was really good!!! Thanks! These wrap ups are fun to put together! :D
DeleteI love Canva and Lindor!! Sounds like you had a BUSY month! What did you do at the YMCA at 5:00?! That takes some dedication to wake up early! :D
ReplyDeleteMe too! <3 I did have a pretty busy month! Hopefully you had a good November too! Actually, my mom is the dedicated one! *winks* I will go with her whenever I can drag myself out of bed! We usually go with my dad before he goes to work... we walk on the treadmill or "bike" three miles, then do either free weights or the machines trading off arms or legs... It's good! Until you are feeling wiped out around 3 o'clock! :0
DeleteWow, you guys make your own maple syrup?! That's so awesome. I would like to live somewhere where maple syrup is not so rare and expensive. XD The Christmas cards you made are really nice - you have some good drawing skills. :) Thanks for sharing your November! I hope you have a wonderful December. xx
ReplyDeleteYes! We do! :D Last year, we didn't collect maple sap to evaporate, but I hope that this year we can. It is quite the process and a lot of hard work, but the maple syrup we get is so much better than anything store bought! Thank you! I enjoy hand-lettering! I'm glad you liked reading about my month, and I hope you have an awesome December as well! <3
DeleteI meant to comment on Wednesday but totally forgot but knew I had to bc I loved this post so much!
ReplyDeleteIt seemed like you had a busy month, especially with NaNo!
Those leaves are so pretty! We get fall fro about a while and then....snowwww alllll the way. ;DD
AHHHHH! I'm actually reading Heart On The Line right now, it's such a fabulous book! Child of Mine is also an AMAZINGGGGGG book and I have srsly reread it 4 times, maybe even 5. ;DD
You can order from Canva?? *gasp!* No wayyyy!!
AW, Bella is so cute! AND YAYYY, im not the only one who buys their pets adorable sweaters?!?! We have like 6 for our uh cats....xDDD
AHHHHH that turkey is ADORABLEEEEE. xP :DD
Ooh room tour?? I'm excited about that!!
I loved this post and sorry about my rambly long comment. XDD
I'm glad you commented, Victoria! I alway's love reading your comments! <3
DeleteNovember was definitely busy for me! And Nano added to an already busy month! But it was good... I can't believe I got so much written! :D
The fall leaves at that park were radiant! They seriously popped with so much color! Now, the leaves have all fallen and snow is on it's way!
Is it??? I can't wait to read Heart On the Line! I love that cover so much for some reason! :) And I am on chapter 7 of Child of Mine, I'm enjoying it so far!
YES!!! I didn't know you could, but you can! I designed and ordered some nativity skit/musical church service postcards to hand out for my church! They turned out so good! I was really happy with it! (I made a nativity scene on the cards out of different shapes so I didn't have to pay extra for any of the pictures... Had to get creative!)
Bella is the sweetest! She is not feeling good so if you could please pray for her. She is 16 years old and has fluid in her lungs...
YAY! We love to dress up our little babies! *winks*
The fruit turkey turned out so fun! =)
Yes, I made a room tour video and then I took some pictures and am going to post them sometime... probably in December's wrap up post!
I'm SO glad you liked reading this wrap up post!!!
And I love ramble long comments.XD
