Took a quick day trip to Solvang to celebrate Julefest. Of course, when you’re in Solvang, you have to get Arne’s famous aebleskiver. We get ours a la mode 🍦😋. On the way home, we swung by Firestone Walker’s Barrelroom while the car was charging!

I finally visited the Montana Shop L.A. over the weekend and picked up some new markers that I can’t wait to test out. I have a weakness for art supplies! 🎨

Was going to go hiking today, but opted for art and beer instead. The sculpture is one of the pieces in the “Stampede: Animals in Art” exhibit at the Denver Museum of Art and the flight is from Wynkoop Brewery.
