Things I'm Thankful For This Holiday Season (in no particular order):

1. Makeshift holiday decorations (because it’s hard to find Christmas trees in Korea). 2. Giving is so much better then receiving. 3. Making a friend’s bachelorette party weekend invitations and helping that bachelorette celebrate her upcoming nuptials. 4. Handmade Christmas decorations (can you tell I was having fun with my hot glue gun)? 5. Surprising… Continue reading Things I'm Thankful For This Holiday Season (in no particular order):
