I can not imagine that anybody does not know who Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings are, but if you don’t, I know you have heard Amy Winehouse’s album Back to Black. They played the music on that album. I think the first time I heard them was 2006 or so and I loved it. Sharon Jones is fierce soul awesomeness. Her voice is like the best of hot toddies, sweet and strong. They appear in Cole Haan’s (@colehaan) latest campaign and are set to release new music for the holidays. Can’t wait.

I am about to be knee deep in Christmas cards, but I wish I had some of this pantone to play with while I made them (@sugarpaperla). Sad puppy face.

I expect to ship out the last of my aforementioned Christmas cards on Monday, so I am really looking forward to doing holiday things with the kids and making art journal pages, though I am pretty sure they will not turn out as neat as Sandy Allnock’s (@sandyallnock).
