BAKING UP A HOLIDAY BLOG HOP

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I used to do a LOT of baking and cooking for all the holidays, but especially Christmas!  The last few years it has become less and less and less...  so far this year, NOTHING.  Which as I sit here and type makes me very sad!  So maybe with this blog hop and all the creative inspirations, my desire to do more will come back!  

Baking and cooking are two of my favorite things to do!  And spending time with family and friends is another favorite thing!  So I decided to create an invitation to a CHRISTMAS BRUNCH!  I'm thinking about theme options:

PAJAMAS and PANCAKES

JINGLE and MINGLE

EAT, DRINK, and BE MERRY

TREE and TREATS

But, in order to even carry out a theme and choose decorations or menu, you have to INVITE your guests!  So, Here is a vintage theme invite you can save and print for your Brunch!  Just click on it to open in a new window and then save it to your own computer.

Be sure to visit each stop on this HOP because 

Paulette at Create with TLC

has shared LOTS of wonderful images and each of the

Design Team members is sharing a different one!

SNOWMAN BUBBLES & HOLIDAY CUTUPS printables

This is a topper I did a few years ago and when I went to print that file, I was not happy with the quality of the print ~~ So I redid it!  The snowman image is from Paulette at Create with TLC.
It was part of her WINTER SCRAPPIN CLUB 2007.  I have made my own bubble wands with wire and plastic beads along with a bottle of "miracle bubbles" as the label on the bottle already calls them!  These will be on my craft table tomorrow so I will get pictures of it all then and post on Sunday or Monday.

I also redid the topper I used years ago... I created the concept of a "HOLIDAY CUT-UP".  I did one for Easter and Halloween and Thanksgiving too!  This one is redone for CHRISTMAS.

In the baggie this gets attached to, I included two cookie cutters and a 3x4 ziploc baggie that has sprinkles/jimmies in it.  I included 2 TBSP of the topping with the two cookie cutters and attached the topper.


Both of these toppers sell for $2.50.

This topper gets put onto a 3x4 baggie with oatmeal and colored sugar or Christmas Sprinkles used for decorating cookies ...

The Reindeer topper is created by Paulette too! I just added the wording...


MERRY CHRISTMAS
RhondaSue

Merri-MINT

This topper is used to put over a 3x4 ziploc

bag with the red and white mints in the bag.

The image is from Paulette in her Nov 2008

Club.  The striped background is also from

her and I layered, turned and made it a plaid.

Merry Christmas

Toilet Paper Snowman

Marci Coombs created a really cute snowman craft!  We are using the idea for a group of kids to make at our "KIDS DAY" at the local Theatre.  To add to it, I generated a tag using her poem that the kids can attach to be able to give it as a gift to someone.  These are free printables for you to click on and open in a new window and save to your own computer for your own use.  Be sure to visit the original post at Marci's website and share some love with her for sharing the original idea!

CHRISTMAS TOPPERS

I always put myself through so much stress to finish projects last minute.  I wish I could learn just once to do more ahead and get things done way before the last minute time frame!!!  But I thoroughly enjoyed making this project for my fellow co-workers and really am glad that they all seemed to like them too!

I have been shopping for MONTHS to prepare for a Christmas themed craft show.  But in early November, my neighbor decided she wasn't going to do the craft show and since I've never done this particular one I really didn't want to do it alone.  SO...  I have had lots of stock building over the past several months to get enough supplies on hand for my own booth.  Well, I let my daughter and her friends eat most of the specialized candy...  But I have had quite a stash of MUGS being saved for many different kinds of projects.  Starting the first week of November I focused on stocking up more on Christmas mugs than anything else.  I actually was able to get 34 different mugs!  And guess what?  There are 34 employees on the payroll at work!  HOW AMAZING IS THAT?

Inside of each mug I added one candy cane, 8 Hershey Kisses, one pkt of SwissMiss Classic Hot Cocoa, a small ziploc baggie of mini marshmallows.  I also made Reindeer Noses and Elf Pillows to add to the gift bag.  Then to put it all together I made a topper tag of SNOWMAN SOUP.

There is one girl that I have gotten to be friends with that collects penguins.  And low and behold, she was the name given to me for the SECRET SANTA GIFT EXCHANGE too yet!  WOOT WOOT!  I had fun splurging on penguin goodies everywhere I went shopping!  You can spot the penguin mug above right?  It even had a hat used as a lid to the mug!  And the goodies inside went into a penguin drawstring bag!  And the only bag different from the rest to put all 34 mugs into was the penguin bag you see on the left side of the pic!  I had so much fun putting ALL of these together!

After each mug filled with its sweetness got put into its own bag, I added a REINDEER NOSES and an ELF PILLOWS packets to each bag.  Then folded over one inch or so at the top and stapled the SNOWMAN SOUP topper to that. 

This is the front view

The picture I took of the finished project was so blurry you couldn't make them out... so I am sorry to say I can't share what they all looked like completely finished!  Very disappointed in that...but you get the mail idea I think with everything else I've described I hope.

And then to top it off, I baked 28 loaves of Banana Bread yesterday.  Everything from 2" up to 8" loaves.  It was the first time I used that recipe and it was SO SO SO GOOD! I just couldn't stop!  We delivered them to four of our neighbors as a gift for Christmas.  I gave one to my "penguin friend" today.  We are eating one.  I put the little mini's on snowman plates and surrounded them with REINDEER NOSES (round circle pretzels with a hershey kiss melted inside and a red m-n-m pressed into the center of that then cooled to set up solid again) and a few wrapped Hershey kisses too.  These plates of goodies went to our daughter's boyfriends dad for Christmas and another neighbor.  They all liked them and put smiles on their faces.

This is my favorite time of the year!  I love to do all these R.A.C.K.s...  and it is so heartwarming to see everyone's smiles and happiness!

**R.A.C.K.s = Random Acts of Christmas Kindness
