Blog Love: 12.22

Here's what I've been loving lately...

I've already printed several of these gorgeous {and free!} gift tags. The second set {the one with the snowflakes} is my absolute favorite!

This would be a delicious dish to serve on a cold Winter's night.

As an avid organizer myself, I love what she said about wanting what you already have.

A handmade teacup candle would make such a sweet gift for a friend.

This would be a great way to showcase precious family photos over the Holidays or even throughout the year.

These napkin rings created by Layla have me thinking it's time to create some festive rings of my own!

Well, I still have some more wrapping left to do ~ eek! ~ so I'd better go.

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!! :)

I've had such a lovely time decorating our home for Christmas that I decided to link up to The Nester's Christmas Tour of Homes 2010. Enjoy!

Merry Christmas!

Holiday Decorating

It's the most wonderful time of the year! I love everything about the Christmas season; having and attending festive parties, baking Christmas cookies, and especially decorating! Here are some of my favorite Holiday spaces in blogland thus far:

Apple Cider Donut FAILURE

Yeah, so I found this delicious recipe awhile back and decided to give it a try:

{FIY that is most definitely not a picture of my donuts}

The batter smelled amazing, looked amazing, tasted amazing...

and then I burnt the donuts. Every. Last. One.

Some things are better left to the professionals...

Please feel free to share your own cooking, baking, or decorating disasters to help me feel a little less pathetic for wasting 3 hours of  my life on donuts...
