Christmas Pinterest Projects 2015


The Santa Belly M&M holder is really cute. 

My Santa Belt Cookies for my cookie Exchange.  What I experienced while decorating these cookies is~ make sure all your food coloring is fresh before decorating cookies.  The night I was decorating I found out my black food coloring was all dried out.  I had to melt chocolate chips at the last minute for the belt.  It was a pain because I don't work well with chocolate.  To my surprise, I pulled it off.

Santa Belt Candy Bars.  Really cute and easy.  I couldn't give them away, too cute.

Cupcake Socks


I saw these cute boot socks and had to make these cupcake socks.  I saw them all over Pinterest.  I used the Starbucks coffee cup cozy as the template for the cupcake wrapper.

Fourth Annual Cookie Exchange 2015

Decorated cookies inspiration by Tidy Mom

I will never have people bring appetizers again. Too much work for everyone, the party is at 1:00 anyways. Next year is going to be bring two dozens and go get your cookies everyone.   Very simple.  And the ornament exchange will stay the same (white elephant).
