In December, the Notebook Pages series is entirely dedicated to the holidays.
Having your most beloved photographs in print, beautifully bound in a hardcover book, I think this makes for the most perfect gift, both to give and to receive, year-round, not only for Christmas. Of course it is so much more convenient to have our favourite photos on our laptops and phones, especially that we tend to take so many nowadays (don’t we?), but I will always prefer the paper version. Why not bring back the tangible, which is also the wonderful and laudable initiative of Artifact Uprising?
• Celebrate: St. Nicholas Day, on the 6th of December. I shared our beautiful tradition here.
• Watch: Joyeux Noël
• Give: a home-made beauty product or home-made spice blends
• Make: your own gift wrapping and a simple Christmas wreath
• Decorate: with Utopia candles
• Read: about Juliette Binoche’s passion for Morocco and Mireille Guiliano’s new book
• Wear: cashmere sweater, black skinny jeans, leather riding boots and this gorgeous fold-over clutch by Mary Jo Matsumoto for a little holiday shimmer
• Cook: a delicious soup for a cold night in and Lisa’s chocolate cookies to get into the Christmas mood
• Reach out: for a good cause

It looks like we will be in for a treat when reading your Notebook pages in December. I love the images and have already opened their website to take a look. Before I check out those book links I just wanted to thank you for including my cookies on your list.
It really is a wonderful idea about the photos. I almost ordered a book of pics last week, but at the end had to postpone since our main pc is currently out of order. Thank you for the wonderful links! x
I just love the wrapping- I think wrapping a present makes it so much more special.
I was just looking at the World Vision catalogue to purchase something for xmas time which I do every year:) And those chocolate cookies look like a nice treat too. The wrapping looks wonderful so simple and elegant/rustic…
Lovely packages. Thank you for the links.
