Messy Messy Fail - I fell off a ladder today. But it was only the 2nd rung. I still hurt the meaty part of my left thumb which palm readers refer to as the Mount of Venus.Tidy Victory - I got the dead branches cut off of the magnolia thanks to the ladder.

Canine Christmas with a “Bark-Worthy” Tablescape!!
Welcome to the lake!!! I’m so glad you could join us for this Canine Christmas Tablescape!!! It was inspired by our dog, who like most Golden Retrievers, is still very much a puppy, even though he is 18 months old, and 80 pounds!!! When I saw this Golden Retriever table runner at Homegoods I knew I just had to do a Tablescape with it!!! Then this year I found the adorable Golden Retriever plates at Dillard’s, and the table kind of took off.
The best gingerbread espresso martini
If you are team gingerbread and love a good espresso martini, this gingerbread espresso martini will be your new favorite winter cocktail.
Nicolle from Our Tiny Nest shares, A few weeks ago, I made this delicious gingerbread syrup. And then I got the idea, since I loved it in my coffee, why not put it in an espresso martini?
The result, it was delish!!!! You will definitely want to serve up these gingerbread espresso martinis for your holiday gatherings! Sharing my recipe below.
Christmas Decorating With Dried Orange Slices
Decorating with fruits and vegetables is an old-fashioned craft I love. Many of us display fresh fruit in season in bowls and centerpieces. It’s December and citrus season is here. Today Comfort Springs Station is sharing her love of oranges – not only as a favorite snack, but as a decorating element. It’s great to use for Christmas and even into January for winter decorating.
Snowflake Cookies (Sugar Cookies with Royal Icing)
Rose from Rose bakes, has obviously been baking for Christmas. These Snowflake Sugar Cookies are made with my all-time favorite recipe. It’s an easy recipe that takes a little more time, but you will get perfect cookies every time, so it’s worth the extra steps!
Wood Slice Winter Scenery Décor
In this tutorial, Steph Creates Things shows us how to create a stunning winter scenery display using just one wood slice from Dollar Tree. You’ll need a few other materials like a miniature truck and camper ornaments, which you can easily get from Walmart. If you’re like me, you might already have them on hand. So, let’s get started and create this craft together!
