Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #199



Messy Messy Fail - I thought I was being so thrifty and crafty, making my own fresh wreath from a ring that I saved from last year. It turned brown and dried out in a day - was the heck MAN?!?!?!?!

Tidy Victory - Our Nightmare Before Christmas tree is up and decorated (for the most part) - didn't QUITE turn out as I had envisioned but it was still fun!






It's time for Happiness Is Homemade Link Party!

It's December and that means Christmas is right around the corner.  It's time to get inspired for the upcoming holidays with creative decorations, recipes, and crafts.

Happiness is Homemade Link Party

My name is Lisa from Blogghetti and I'm excited to be sharing some of my favorite links this month.  Be ready for Christmas overload.  I hope to find some great holiday recipes that just may become your family's new favorites.  Being the time for all things festive and fun, I plan on choosing some fabulous Christmas DIY projects and holiday decor.  I think I will also try to find something that will help us to be more organized in the upcoming New Year, too.  It's definitely going to be a challenge to limit it to a few features since ya'll link up some awesome posts.

Check out this week's features

Happiness is Homemade Link Party: Christmas is Coming!

I just love this DIY Wine Cork Angel Christmas Ornament from Growing Up Gabel. The angel is just darling and the whole project is easy to do.

Every Christmas Eve my family and I make trays of appetizers and eat them while watching a holiday movie or playing board games.  These 25+ Gluten-Free Christmas Appetizers from Fivespot Green Living  has me drooling.

Another tradition in my house is to decorate cut-out sugar cookies.  I may have to persuade my adult kids to do this now but I can tell they love it.  This Holiday Cookie Decorating Box from Just Measuring Up would be perfect for kids (of all ages) to have so they can make masterpieces out of the sugar cookies.  Great gift idea or just for fun!

How cute is this Christmas Tree Serving Tray from Hazel and Gold Designs?! It would be perfect to serve those decorated sugar cookies on with some mugs of hot chocolate.  Easy step-by-step directions are a bonus.

Here's one to save for the New Year to help you become more organized.  In many homes, the kitchen is the hub of all things and can often be unorganized.  I love the tips and storage ideas from The Dedicated House's Under the Sink Organization post.
