My last book purchase of 2023 (cashed in book token nephews got me for Christmas). I will save this Vintage #Krampus postcard collection till next December. I have a huge To Be Read pile that should last me till then.
My year in books 2023 was large due to many being graphic novels/ art & photography books and also escaping the social media argument algorithm freed up more time. Got into reading more True Crime and Thanotology books in 2023 http://www.goodreads.com/user_challenges/39098355
Baked over 150 cookies Saturday in preparation for a cookie decorating afternoon with friends. 4 different recipes ( chocolate sugar cookies(vegan), gingerbread cookies ( vegan), lemon sugar cookies(dairy free), and vegan sugar cookies).
Made vegan frostings: royal icing ( various colours) and buttercream (green)
Had much silly fun! Happy HoHo!
Oh and the cutters included : #jiji #ghostsofgingerbreadpeoplepast #krampus#starsandmoon#bellandcandle
Last chance for First Class orders is end of day tomorrow, after this I will be switching off first class delivery and only allowing special delivery which unfortunately comes with a hefty additional fee. So if you fancy something for Christmas or some cards get them quick!
December 5th is #Krampusnacht in the #Alps.
According to local #geomythology, the devilish #Krampus - a half-man & half-goat demon - leaves his cloven hoof-prints all over the rocks in the #Dolomites 😈⛰
Were you naughty or nice this year? Cause it’s Krampusnacht, the night Santa’s fearsome counterpart comes to collect the bad kids! #ArtAdventCalendar
My #linocut print shows Krampus, the scary horned creature of Alpine folklore, complete with birch rods, and naughty child in a basket. The origins of this character are debated but there are traditional parades called the Krampuslauf or Krampus 🧵1/
