Holiday Season

So before all the hoopla begins I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. This is the first Christmas that my brother will not be here for. 

Please keep all military personel in your prayers this holiday season. It breaks theirs and their familys heart to not be home to celebrate. 

Now on to all the fun things I have made. Of course you have seen all of the presents I gave my best friends. But now there are cookies to be made! Here is a preview of them all:

So as many have been wondering about, an update on my health. They still are not positive on everything going on and I go back in February for more testing. For now they had me get another dose of Iron IV. I once again picked a good date to get it. The first time I got a concert by local country artist, Derek Anthony:

This last time (a week ago) we had a special visit from Santa and local Firefighters!!! 

Needless to say I blushed!!! Plus these firefighters know how to manhandle if you get my drift. :)

So for now, my and my puppy wish you and your family all the best this holiday season!

Merry Christmas!!

Best Friend Party

Every year me and my 2 very best friends (out of the many), the ones I consider my sisters, get together and have a Christmas party. This year Pintrest was my drawing board. If you have never been on Pintrest they have a lot of fun usually easyand cute craft ideas. For Christmas this year they each received 3 gifts.

#1- paint swatch calendar. It was simply made by cutting FREE paint samples to a 2" width* and gluing them to either paper or cardstock the size of your frame. *I used an 11x17" frame so if you use smaller reduce the size of your paint samples. When done insert into frame and use a dry erase marker to create the calendar.

#2 - scrabble letter coasters Mogpodge scramble letters onto cork tiles and seal with modpoge for a coaster.

#3 Hot Chocolate in jars (not pictured) and stir sticks. For the stir sticks I dipped candy canes into a dark chocolate and let harden over night.

Super simple and all done in 9 hours.

Okay mow to go party. Merry Christmas y'all!
