Holidayze.

Christmas is supposed to be vacay time is it not? I used to feel relaxed around Christmas, letting my parents do everything, and kind of just showing up ready to shred some wrapping paper. This year, I had to buy gifts for my side, and my boyfriend's side, and then you have to bake, and cook, and get pretty and its cold out. I love Christmas, I just didn't realize it took so much effort. Cheers to getting older? NOT

Back on track. I was doing my usually morning browse of blogs. I look at roughly 20 per day. Its a bit of an obsession. I came across this really kind of funky Holiday Decor. I would definitely do this as my own Holiday Display. Would you? Do you prefer the traditional red,green and gold?

Tell me your thoughts!? Please? Please?

Holiday Sweet.

12 days in counting till Christmas People!

Can you tell I'm excited!? Maybe this Christmas post will help put everyone in the mood.

Sweet tables any time of the year can be pretty drab, unless you happen to be at my house where my mom tends to over-bake. ( I am totally serious, over 40 different kinds of miniature cookies, iced and dipped to perfection.) I came across a spread of a sweet table on Austin Weddings and it looked so festive and bright that I had to post it. If you have the sweets, buy the little red or green papers, it will definitely help you in expressing your theme.

Balls.

Alternative ways to use a very cheap Christmas ornament. Balls!

They always look great and shiny! Try your own.

DIY Bows.

Ola! Sorry for not posting in a while, but its Christmas! Well, sort of. You have to understand that I am completely obsessed with Christmas, to the point that I have this creepy grin on my face whenever I see Christmas lights or hear a Christmas song. My boyfriend and I went for a walk a couple of weeks ago, and there was a very tiny light show going on at City Hall. I had to watch it twice, with the creepy grin in all its glory.

On to better things. I don't feel I have completely finished the Gold Coast, AU as of yet. So, please expect a few more venue posts for that destination. I will hopefully get to post some more Holiday/Christmas themed parties, or events within the next couple of weeks. While your all anxiously waiting for those, ( you are anxiously waiting right??!! ) check out this great DIY Bows tutorial. It's pretty easy, and gives you presents quite a modern edge. Hope you like.
