Mitten Moments

Well, the countdown is on and we are only one week away from Christmas! Can you believe it? I have gathered some amazing last minute Christmas inspiration for my Mitten Moments, this week!

I can’t wait for you to see it all!

My Personal Mitten Moments

I am a girl who has been blessed by an amazing group of girlfriends. We were lucky enough to get together, this weekend! There are six of us and most of us have been friends since kindergarden. If you know how old I am, you know that’s a long time!

“It’s not that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but it’s your best friends who are your diamonds.” – Gina Barreca

Speaking of how old I am, myself and one of my gal pals are having a big birthday in February. I’ll just let you guess the number of that big birthday. Since we don’t see each other as often as we would like, the other gal pals surprised us with early birthday gifts!

How lucky am I?

Someday, I’ll blog about how much my life is better because of them!

Remember the dollhouse I’ve been working on? Well, the big reveal is going to be on Christmas…for our granddaughter!

It turned out so cute and I can’t wait to share it with you! Look for that post in the next couple of weeks.

Recently On The Blog

Did you see the fun Christmas tree hop I was in, this week? Myself and eight of my blogging friends gathered to bring you some of our decorated trees and tree inspiration.

I shared How To Decorate A Traditional Christmas Tree.

It’s always fun gathering with friends to bring you relative and amazing content.

Isaiah 9:6 – For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

A Few Of My Favorite Moments

My good friend Stacy from Bricks and Blooms shared 3 White Wine Spritzer Recipes You Should Try. They all look so yummy and perfect for holiday entertaining.

You still have plenty of time to get the ingredients!

Who is still in need of a yummy desert to serve for Christmas? If so, my friend Michelle from Thistle Key Lane has an amazing Apple Spice Bundt Cake Recipe that is sure to be a crowd pleaser!

Apple, spice and everything nice…yes, please!

I love the next project I am going to share with you! Rachel from The Ponds Farmhouse shared this Easy DIY Air Dry Clay Christmas Ornament. It would be a great project to do as a group, with your littles/grands, or alone.

Rachel shows us multiple ways they can be used.

If you don’t have time right now, definitely put this project on your list!

My good buddy Jennifer from Cottage on Bunker Hill showed us How To Make A Snowflake Wreath using cinnamon salt dough. She always has the prettiest ideas for wreaths!

How cute is this?!

And Now…

Here are some other WONDERFUL moments I found:

These creative ideas to display your vintage collections

This beautifully decorated upside down Christmas tree

This sea salt soap gift idea

These yummy Rugelach cookies

Well, that’s all my Mitten Moments for now. I hope you enjoyed all the goodness, this week.

As always, I’m so grateful for you visiting my blog! It warms my heart! Also, if you don’t follow me on Instagram and Pinterest, I would love for you to join me over there, too!

Have an amazing week ahead. I pray its full of lots of Christmas joy!
