Messy Messy Fail - I truly think I fail to move the Elves on the Shelves every other night. I should set a timer or something - this SHOULDN'T be difficult. They discipline purposes are being snafu-ed but it's my own fault.
Tidy Victory - All holiday decorations are up, presents have been purchased and we are NEARLY ready for the holiday. Bring it on St. Nick!
We are deep into Christmas decorations, shopping, entertaining and holiday stress fun. But it's time for Happiness is Homemade Link Party 251, so sit back and relax for a few minutes while you link up, Pin or enjoy the features others are sharing.
This week has been super busy, with friends over for cocktails and then out to dinner, a sorority sister annual Christmas dinner, volunteering at Ronald McDonald House, and participating in an annual Christmas tablescape blog hop. And, to top it all off, I haven't been able to talk since last Saturday. A cough and case of a hoarse, froggy throat that either sweaks or rasps is no fun when all you want to do is visit with friends. Sweet Shark has been filling me with Sudafed, Claritin, nose spray, cough medicine and throat drops. Finally, Friday, I stayed home, didn't whisper a word, stayed in my jammies until noon and binged watched Outlander. Hope this crud doesn't come to your house. I'd much rather be singing Christmas carols.
So that we all can devote a little more time to family and holiday time, this will be our last link party for 2018. I have so enjoyed being your hostess for December. We will return on January 6th.
The Happiness is Homemade Family wishes you all a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and safe travels.

The features for our Happiness is Homemade Link Party 251 are so cute. Lots of great ideas for your holiday celebration.
Let's start with these precious little treat cups created by Brandy at Gluesticks. Whether for a kids' party, a grownup party or just for fun, these party cups with snacks will make every smile. And they add to any holiday decor.
You know I love creating projects with my Cricut, and Angie at The Country Chic Cottage used her Cricut to make a pretty DIY project for a mantle or table. The downloadable graphic is a keeper for sure. She gives you complete instructions for creating this glowing display.
IF you love bows on your Christmas tree, but don't love making them, this hack from Lindsey at Repurpose and Upcycle is for you. She has a video included to show you how easy this method is.
I'm a lover of farmhouse design and Jenna at Rain on a Tin Roof has created a farmhouse fantasy in her home. This is one to Pin for inspiration. So many cute details to brighten any home for the holidays.
I love little desserts. I love pretty little desserts even more. Since Sweet Shark's favorite cake is Red Velvet, I was really attracted to these sweet morsels from Erin at Delightful E Made is perfect for any holiday cooking swap or party.
I hope you enjoyed these features. Let's see what you have to share!
