This and That

Momma sure loves her some egg nog this time of year and I already went through a carton!
The kids also really enjoyed decorating their Barbie Ginger Bread House.

They also made these snow flakes to hang over our table on Christmas Eve as we are going with a Winter Wonderland theme. I got the tutorial through Vanessa's blog after I saw it on Natalea's blog. I rented all the table wear and some decor so that I could just return it un-washed once the party is over. Hey, anything helps :)


The kids are also going to be sending Santa a letter- with style because we won this Santa Writing Kit from The Creative Patch.


My Creating Vintage Charm issue came in and it brought me such joy to see my decorations scattered across the pages :)


I also received a little surprise in the mail- from sweet Claudie. It included a cute planter, Christmas ornament, apron, neat soaps etc. Thanks girl!


Have a great week!

You are sure in the Christmas spirit over there, Sandy! I love eggnog too, but it helps me gain about 5 lbs over the holiday season- yikes!

You didn't have to put my gifts here gf. It was just a little something for you to enjoy, that's all. Isn't that soap yummy??? Those dolls heads? ... well... not sure, lol. you'll find something to do with them I know it.
LOVE the fact that you rented, right on.
Oh I remember the days when my kids made houses like that.
Congrats on your mag. It all looks so pretty and bright.
Ok I'm all mushed out.

I've never been sure what eggnog is. Although I love Starbucks Eggnog Latte (don't go near the place all year, but the moment they start selling this stuff, I'm there.)

My kids are too old for Santa letters now, but I unashameably use them to communicate to their dad what I would REALLY like for Christmas. Not sure tickets to NY to see Alan Rickman on stage are going to materialise under the tree this year though. Ah well, Christmas is a time for miracles. :)

I started drinking egg nogg right before Thanksgiving and won't stop until the store doesn't have any more! Love it!

Wishing you a beautiful Christmas season.

Hi Sweet Girl,

You are such a wonderful Mother! You are always doing such fun things with your kids and your decorations make everything so special. I love eggnog too but have stayed away from it. I am already up on the scale and need to get serious after Christmas getting back down.
I am glad that you are enjoying the season. Hugs to you!!!

Love,
Tam
