Day 8 & 9 - Candy Canes & Snowmen! ~ 25 Days of Christmas from @fromjesstoyouVA | #Bloggerstribe #Blogmas

Welcome to Jess' 25 Days of Christmas
~ Day 8 & 9
Sorry I'm late in getting out December 8th's post so I'm joining it in with December 9th's post! **hehee** Still no snow where I am living but we have a LOT of rain! Please enjoy!

Do you like my Santa Candy Cane Holder? 😊 Also I bought these KoolAid Candy Canes at the DollarTree on December 8th!	8 Stripy and minty and yummy to lick---the candy cane's everyone's holiday pick.

9 When you roll 'em and stack 'em as high as you can, the tiniest snowballs make one big snowman!	As you saw in my Day 5 - blogmas update we have no snow ... so I'm leaving you with Olaf! Have you seen Frozen 2 yet? We saw it when it released in theaters and LOVED it!

Thanks for joining the fun! Happy Blogmas/Vlogmas Everyone!

Well I had soo many plans today ... but it is/was Cyber Monday so I did last minute online shopping, then I found out that an Christmas present order that had arrived was wrong so I had to fix it (it took them 2 hours), then I dealt with my kids and stuff for my clients that I do VA work for .... but what really through me off was finding out early this morning that my head cold has gotten worse. 😷 I'm coughing up "crud" and will definitely be going to see my doctor tomorrow since the sudafed I've been taking hasn't been working. 😝 Thankfully I don't have a fever. YAY! 👏

Anywho ... one major event was that ...

Day 11 - Love is all around ~ 25 Days of Christmas from @fromjesstoyouVA | #Bloggerstribe #Blogmas

Welcome to Jess' 25 Days of Christmas ~ Day 11

11 Just two weeks till Christmas---to feel nice and snug, get your family together in a merry group hug!

I am a photographer. I was born with a camera in my face and grew up being acquainted with always having a camera in my hand (this was in the late 80's to early 90's childhood ... way before cellphones with cameras were a thing). Therefore, YES I do have TONS of photos of my own children posing. However, I do my best to keep their faces off my public social media accounts. So the only photo I have of them snuggling / hugging without showing their faces (without trying to wrangle them to pose right now -- sorry I just didn't have the time) is the photo below that I had posted on my Instagram acct about three and a half years ago. 😍 But it is one of my faves of them together. ENJOY!

Day 7 - It's Creamy Creamy #Cocoa Time! ~ 25 Days of Christmas from @fromjesstoyouVA | #Bloggerstribe #Blogmas

Welcome to Jess' 25 Days of Christmas ~ Day 7

7 Stir up some cocoa---mmm! It's so yummy (and it gives you warm feelings deep down in your tummy)!

Day 1 - I finished a novel! ~ 25 Days of Christmas from @fromjesstoyouVA | #Bloggerstribe #Blogmas #BookBlogger

This year I am doing my own version of 25 Days of Christmas and we will be following my Santa and penguin countdown ornament calendar that I've had since 2007. I've always found this countdown adorable ... so I'm going to try my best at daily blog posts. 🤞 Hopefully I'll be on top of it for you. 😊 😉

Day 4 - Holiday Songs with Book Recs! ~ 25 Days of Christmas from @fromjesstoyouVA | #Bloggerstribe #Blogmas #BookBlogger

Welcome to Jess' 25 Days of Christmas ~ Day 4
I over worked myself on Dec 4th (yesterday) as with how I wanted to put together this post and it being my weekly When & Where am I Wednesday on top of everything else I planned for today .... I over did it and in turn this post is a little late. Sorry! But I hope you'll enjoy all the parts I included in it!

I personally love listening to holiday music. My kids have asked occasionally throughout the year to listen to their Christmas Music cds before bed. But for the most part we start listening to Christmas music mostly starting around my birthday on November 10th. Typically I enjoy listening to my music on random "shuffle mode" like when I had a 5 disc cd player ... and that still happens now that I constantly use Pandora and its shuffle mode. So here are all the "radio stations" on Pandora that I "shuffle" through: Christmas Radio Country Christmas Radio Family Christmas Radio Holiday Music (Holiday) Radio Pop Goes Christmas (Holiday) Radio

4 The three weeks till Christmas won't seem very long if you make time each day for a holiday song.

To go along with this "holiday music" theme I have decided to create a video for you!! It is titled: DECEMBER TBR & Holiday Song Book Recommendations

Day 3 - Christmas Room Decoration ~ 25 Days of Christmas from @fromjesstoyouVA | #Bloggerstribe #Blogmas #BookBlogger

Welcome to Jess' 25 Days of Christmas ~ Day 3
Today's Santa Countdown quote is much like yesterday's ... basically dealing with our Christmas tree which, as I stated yesterday, our Christmas tree that we have had up since November 12th-ish and decorated since November 30th. So below is today's quote and what I had shared yesterday of my Christmas tree ... BUT be sure to check out AFTER that info for the video I created to go along with it all as I found "another way" to decorate too!!

Day 10 - Jess' Christmas Card to YOU! ~ 25 Days of Christmas from @fromjesstoyouVA | #Bloggerstribe #Blogmas #BookBlogger

Welcome to Jess' 25 Days of Christmas ~ Day 10
Do you like receiving Christmas/Holiday cards? When I was younger I religiously (without actually being religious about it) would send out tons of holiday and Christmas cards to just about everyone I knew yet over the years -- because of trying to be money conscious -- I'm lucky to get out just to those in my immediate family. Therefore, I have created a video holiday card for YOU!! I hope you like it! 🤩

If you can't see/watch the above video then click here to watch it.	10 It's good to remember your friends near and far --- a greeting can show them how jolly you are!

They say that things just cannot grow beneath the winter snow

"Snowbound" by Janice Kay Johnson was such a disappointment. I picked it up from Amazon.com since they had it free if you had an iPod or a Kindle and it was on the top of the list for supposedly being so good. But ehhh. =0P

It's about a teacher who is driving back (in a snowstorm) from an out-of-town event with a group of her students (8 teens). They decided to take the quickest route back ... not knowing that that highway closes in the winter. Thankfully the route they took has a lodge on it. The owner of this lodge is a gentleman who just got discharged from the military, and is dealing with his own set of problems. During the teacher (and her group's) 3 night stay at the lodge waiting for the storm to let-up, the teacher and the owner build a connection ..... and they see if they can make it work afterwords.

I mean the setting was good and so was the plot/point of the story. But if I wanted to read about war scenes then I would have picked up a nonfiction or history type of book, not a romance. And even though the story was a short one, for how she dragged it out making so everyone was so indecisive .... I was just happy to see it end.

2 out of 5 stars.

Busy as a Beaver

Hello everyone,

I know I should have at least 3 new videos up by now but I have gotten busy again.

The Advertising/Marketing Co-Op Campaign that the Elizabeth City Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (at my other job) has started up the beginning of this month. So, I have been busy trying to get things in order for the almost 30 videos I'll be creating for that. I have currently been working on the video for that office as the "Elizabeth City" video ... and after a few more changes you should be able to see what it looks like.

Also, I got my first job recently!! I'm going to be taking photography for a wedding happening on August 8, 2008. And the bride is being very sweet in allowing me to use the photography taking and making a video out of it. So, in about another month or so you'll be able to see that.

More things to come soon!!

Take care, Jess
