the ghosts of christmas past.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, happy holiday!
’twas the night before christmas and all through the house…WE WERE CRAFTING! we arrived in poland on the night of december 23 so when we woke up on christmas eve, we had two things on our minds: get groceries and decorate for CHRISTMAS! although the grocery part was a bit challenging, we were able to find some essentials (that have somehow lasted for three days of CLOSED everything!) but our mission to decorate was SUPER successful! we spent the day… Read more »
