Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #299



Messy Messy Fail - Let's just call it the Great Christmas Tree Fail of 2019 - we purchased and brought home a 9 foot concolor fir tree and it REFUSED to stay upright.  It fell over 3 TIMES until we found another older tree stand and managed to get it stable.  The tree stand I purchased from Walmart last year that was supposed to be for 7-9 foot tree proved faulty - the little spikes that sit inside the cup of the base completely ripped out and there was nothing to keep the base of the tree steady.  I'll be emailing Walmart shortly.......

Tidy Victory - Our one real tree is up in the library room along with two tiny trees I purchased last year for the kids' rooms.  Just three more to go :D

Happiness is Homemade Link Party #299 Features!


As you can tell, I am a dessert person.  I really hate cooking, but when it comes to baking that’s a whole different story.  On my blog you won’t find recipes, but I do enjoy featuring them here at the Happiness is Homemade Link Party.  Here are two fabulous desserts, I may just cook up in my kitchen.

Spiced Eggnog Pudding!


Eggnog, in my opinion has always been a controversial item.  Personally, I LOVE it!!!  During the winter months I cannot get enough Eggnog. So, when Ashly from Simply Designing shared her Eggnog recipe, I knew I would want to try it.  The Spiced Eggnog Pudding Recipe sounds decadent and you can find it here.





With December just a few days away, I am excited to be featuring two very easy craft projects I thought you might enjoy.
