Happy Holidays!

Well I had all these plans to blog about my parties, treats, etc. but I failed to calculate how little time I would have over the holidays! Now that things have slowed down, I hope to pick back up where I left off and share my Christmas festivities with you!

Every year I try to have at least one party around Christmastime because I love the holiday and look forward to sharing my recipes and decorations with friends! This year I decided to have an ornament swap, mainly because I have absolutely no ornaments! I envy my friends who have collected ornaments since they were very small and now have a tree overflowing with memories. So I thought what a great way to both give and get an ornament!




Here is the invitation. I actually printed it on my printer at home and after a few aligning tweaks, I think they turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself!


I am going to save some recipes for my alphabet countdown but here are some pictures:





Here Leanne and Julie are showing off their ornaments!


I am not very crafty, but I have a ton of glass vases I have collected from throwing showers and I wanted to incorporate them into my decorating without spending a lot of money. So I picked these pinecones out of the woods by my house and got some fake snow at Pottery Barn and threw in a few ornaments and ta-da!




Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!
