Holiday Cup Cozies

Very festive, don’t you think? & can you believe that they were made from $1 bin Christmas socks? (gosh, I love Target!) Get the DIY “how to” at party-wagon.com.

Holiday Cards

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend.

We finally did a little holiday decorating last night and to get in the mood we put on some holiday music & had a little dance party. Now we just need a tree -hopefully we’ll get to it on Saturday morning! It seems like the older I get, the faster the time goes (especially between Thanksgiving & Christmas!)

If you haven’t ordered your holiday cards yet, I wanted to share one of my favorites..aren’t these sweet by Jelli & Ink?

She also makes the sweetest Birthday invites!
