In my usual fashion, I have spent much time reading other blog's, and ignoring the fact that its been two months since I posted anything. However, I have learned SO much about blogging from reading other blogs. A few of the big things that I have realized the need to focus on in my posts are more pictures (and better quality- can't wait to get the DSL camera I have been wanting for FOREVER!), a little less writing, and sticking to one topic per post. So, here is a little over view of a few things from Christmas.
For those of you out there who are avid DIYers, I found a very creative idea for a festive centerpiece bouquet from Martha Stewart. Its very simple, and easily made by even the newest DIY convert, yet so pretty!
Her directions said only to use the white flowers, but I added the green thinking it would be more Christmas-y. In retrospect, I think that I would have liked the all-white look better, but it still turned out nicely. Don't you think? (Yes, yes, I know, I needed to iron my table cloths.)
And it's not Christmas with out Christmas cookies, right? My friend Jess and I have made it an annual thing to get together and bake 4-6 different types of cookies in one night. It was a blast and they were DELICIOUS!
Peanut Butter blossoms on the left, chocolate cake cookies in the bottom center, my grandma's gingersnaps (my favorite) on the bottom right, and good ol' chocolate chip on the top center and top right. Mmmmmmm....
Merry Belated Christmas everybody! :-)
