Favorite Things Party
Each year a great friend, Melanie, hosts the most fun party - "Favorite Things!"
We are put into groups of 6-7 girls and we bring our fave thing(s) for each member in our group. It is so fun to see what everyone loves - there is makeup & hair supplies, kitchen goods, jewelry, crafted items & all sorts of fun stuff! This year I made a "Girl's Night In" goodie bag for all my ladies - you can see it below.
It was also a great night because Rebecca came into town from Amarillo for it - extra bonus :)
These are the treats I brought to the party. I think everyone loved them except Rebecca who hates coconut. But Mel doesn't like coconut and really liked them - go figure!

Christmas Activities
We made a few bags of yummy Snickers Kettle Corn to pass out to some neighbors. We actually scaled back on our recipients this year - I sure wish I had the time to make some to everyone we know!
Just wanted to share an little idea for something fun to make and eat this holiday season!
Is there anything better than chocolate, kettle corn and Snickers? I think not.
I hosted our church's women's Christmas dinner this year. It was a lot of fun - we moved couches and chairs out of the way and brought in tables into the family room (below) and the sunroom. We had almost 50 women over - the food was so yummy (traditional turkey dinner)!
Some of the ladies serving out dinner - yum!
Halloween catch up
This was the cute plate of goodies that Tess made in my Halloween Treat class back in October. We also made a cute candy corn pudding parfait that I didn't photograph. Nothing says Halloween like caramel apples, a cute vampire cupcake and some individual s'mores :)

Santa came already?!
Look at this beauty that followed me home tonight!! Don't you just love having something to look at all day that makes your heart sing (since my kids and hubby aren't home)? Even better - proceeds go to breast cancer research! I love the glass bowl too - I just love everything :)
The picture reads brighter than "she" really is. Yes, I think she deserves a name - I'm taking suggestions (Ruby, Pinkie, ??)
