Holiday bake-off + crafts

The holidays are busy - seeing friends, going to parties, spending time with family + a pile of holiday things to do - send out cards, decorate your home, bake goodies.  This weekend I'm doing both.  I'm getting together with friends for our annual bake and craft off.  A full day {or days} of non-stop baking, crafting, wine-sipping, junk food-eating, christmas carol-singing fun!  I can't wait.

We take turns at the craft table and in the kitchen.  We spread our projects out all over the house.  We start early and don't stop till it's late and the bottles are empty.  It's a fantastic holiday tradition and you get so much done!

Since my home is lacking holiday decor that's where my focus is.  Baking can come later.  I've got three crafts I am going to start on finish.

:: a christmas fabric banner

Enjoy your weekend and the holiday fun and preparation.
