Hello! Lucky “Woodland Friends” hellolucky.com.

Tomorrow is December 1st and the beginning of the holiday season! The houses along my street are being decorated with lights and wreathes today. It’s time to start thinking about cards before we get too busy and forget…I always do! Here are few I’ve found that all feel kinda folky and share the color red. All great choices. Stay tuned this week for more holiday cards, decorating ideas, and gift guides.

Tis’ the season for cookie recipes. Check out gourmet.com’s new online cookie feature: Gourmet’s Favorite Cookies 1941-2008. I was eyeing a few that I want to make right now.
