Friday Flair Link Party // Eggnog Edition

1 · Dec 13, 2012 · 31 Comments

We’ve made it friends… The week is coming to a close and it’s time to celebrate with a little Friday Flair Link Party! I have to admit I am woefully behind on some of my Christmas tasks. I have been trying to take a picture of the family for over a week now so that I can design our Christmas card for this year. So far, the weather and our schedule just hasn’t cooperated. I tell ya, when the kiddos were younger life seemed to be so much easier. I may have to send out Valentines at this rate instead of Christmas cards. Oh well!

One of our families favorites at this time of year is eggnog. That’s where this weeks inspiration photo comes from…

Katie from Epicurean Mom has a fabulous recipe that I am dying to try. I think I will add that to my ever growing list.

Friday Flair Link Party // Peppermint Cupcake Edition

2 · Dec 6, 2012 · 28 Comments

Well, It’s (almost) FRIDAY… Time for Friday Flair! I just returned home from our 2nd Christmas party for the season and it’s only December 6th. These parties start earlier and earlier every year. Tomorrow night we are heading over to have a gingerbread house party with some new friends here in Lincoln… We can’t wait! The girls and I LOVE making gingerbread houses. My friend Christene (in Las Vegas) hosts a gingerbread making party the first weekend of December every year and I was soooo sad to miss it this year. Here’s a look at my gingerbread house that I created last year, plus a great Gingerbread 101 post from Christene a couple of years ago. It’s an oldie but a goodie.

Our inspiration photo this week comes from Sweet Revelations. It’s a stunning photograph of some dark chocolate peppermint cupcakes that look divine!

I don’t think you can get anymore perfect that that. Just look at that frosting, it’s looks like a little ruffle of silk… heavenly.

Now, who’s ready to PARTY?!

Welcome to Monday, the first week of December… are you feeling it? This magical time of the year? We spent the weekend putting up our tree, the lights on the house and dressing up the little red barn for the season (if you follow me on Instagram, you know about the little red barn) We had a bit of a false start over Thanksgiving when it came to our holiday decorating… We started setting up our 12 year old tree, only to find out that 75% of the lights no longer worked on the tree, so sad. Well, I wasn’t too bummed, the tree was way too big for our little rental house, so I took the opportunity to find a slim Christmas tree during all of the Black Friday whoopla and then we started over again. Today I’m working on dressing up the rest of the house and can’t wait to share what I’ve been working on. I have some fun stuff for this week!

Last night I spent a few hours pinning away while going through last week’s Friday Flair and had a ball looking through everyone’s amazing creations. Here are a few that caught my eye…

Who’s ready for some Friday Flair fun? Better yet… who’s ready for some Christmas inspiration? I am having so much fun getting the house ready for the holidays.
