Have yourself a Merry little Christmas...

Even though Christmas has now passed---I want to post our cute (if I do say so myself!) Christmas card I created on tinyprints.com. They have so many unique cards and this one with a little pink in it was just perfect! We didn't send out a ton this year because I got them out a little late. But I will definitely use that site again.

Here's the back!

There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy....

 

from Hostess with the Mostess blog 

Too bad I am not having a Christmas party this year... because I keep running across the most adorable and tasty looking ideas! Like this cute vintage pastel Christmas dessert table from Hostess with the Mostess blog! Always good inspiration on there. This reminds me of going shopping when you really don't have money to spend... you always find what you really like--same as looking party pics---when you aren't having a party. File away for next year when I'm feeling less pregnant--and more domestic diva. Oooh, but it makes me really crave iced sugar cookies. :)

DIY Rock Candy Christmas trees 

You still have a chance to go all Martha for the holidays. Here are the instructions to make these cute little rock candy Christmas trees.

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me...

Ok. Maybe it's the holiday tunes but I'm starting to feel more festive! I've run across some CUTE Christmas decor online and in catalogs lately. Some loves that I am putting on my list....

1) Pottery Barn Burlap Sack Advent Calendar

I love this! It goes with my "decor" and the pockets are great for all kinds of goodies!

2) Christmas ribbon wreath

I can't post the image of the next one on my list...(copyrighted!) So you'll have to click on the link to see the adorable Christmas ribbon wreath. It is all handmade and so sweet! 

3) Boxwood Topiaries from Ballard Design

I need two of these babies for my front porch!

4) Happy Holidays tree garland from Pottery Barn

 Another Pottery Barn pick--this Happy Holiday garland. I think it would look great on my mantel!

5) Walk in the Woods dishes from Rosanna, Inc.

Rosanna, Inc. has great stuff! All her collections are super-cute and her holiday patterns say "Christmas" with a modern-twist. I am loving the baby blue background here. I already have her "12 Days of Christmas" plates--which I don't think you can order anymore.

They inspired my whole holiday color scheme.. (as far as one can have a holiday color scheme)

(Imagine Nutcracker music playing here...Sugar Plum Fairy's dance, maybe?)

from Kate Landers Events... sigh.

How cute is this?? I haven't even had my little girl yet... but oh my! Look at this Nutcracker Suite Ballet Party featured on Kate Landers Events' blog! Waaayy over the top and waaaay expensive, I'm sure!  But so sweet. Check out more pictures of the ballet-inspired party here.

Her website is full cute ideas---and lots of pictures! I'm going to start storing up ideas for Baby E's first birthday...hmmm....

ooh! Just look at the Madeline inspired party... adorable!
