Just as the decorating was finishing up, snow started to fall! Unfortunately it has almost all melted now, but maybe it is a sign of things to come? Hope so!

The button wreath, above, is a little decoration I made for my mom last year with my stash of vintage buttons. If you look closely you’ll even see some vintage rhinestones! Love those so much! I even put a couple of my snowflake tags on the tree! A little paper fun added the perfect vintage touch.

I was playing around with my snowflake punch and found out that: snowflake punch + aluminum foil = FUN! These look much cooler in person, the camera didn’t capture the sparkle like I would have liked it to. They are fun and really, REALLY shine! Try it, it’s fun!

And… at the very last minute, I broke out the baker’s twine and strung a few of the snowflake tags, so fun and festive!

Christmas can come now and I’m so excited I can hardly wait!! I’ve got some extra special presents for people this year, how am I going to wait 2 more weeks to give them to them!?!?!

Here’s some awesome Christmas inspiration from Amber!:

I asked Amber to showcase some Christmas layouts featuring Elle’s Studio products to get us in the mood for the season and she totally rocked it!! After checking her beautiful layouts out, it has put me in the mood to pull out last years photos, some tea, and my scrapbooking supplies! I love how she used Elle’s Studio products here and there, even cutting them out!! So much fun and details to look at! Make sure you click on each layout to check out a larger version of the photos! FUN!!! Thanks Amber, you are awesome and did an outstanding job!!

There’s my little strawberry!! Isn’t she a cutie 🙂 We had fun on Halloween, I ended up taking her with me to a harvest festival. We had fun and she was a hit!

These were the cupcakes I baked for the harvest festival. Chocolate spider webs, big black icing spiders with orange and black sprinkles topped the vanilla and chocolate swirled cupcakes. They were YUMMY!!
