Linksies

I am utterly exhausted at the moment - for once not exaggeration - but I think I should probably do some dishes since I don't want my house to develop any funky aromas. That kind of sounded like too big of a task until I got on pinterest and saw this homemade chai concentrate recipe a friend posted. Amazing how reading about/seeing pictures of tea and spices mixed together makes me start to feel better almost instantly... (And it's a lot cheaper and i bet tons better than going to Starbucks, which I was daydreaming about.)

I'll also post this link another friend shared, because I *wish* I were this crafty: really cool handmade gifts under $25. I actually am attempting to make some gifts this year, but obviously can't post pictures here. And I'm doing it with some trepidation, because I'm one of the least crafty people I know. Unless cooking counts? But the cool thing about pinterest is that browsing all these creative links makes me feel more inspired to do things, even if nothing I do turns out remotely as awesome as other people's. And it's kind of fun.
