Last post before Christmas! That is pretty exciting. I joined an amazing group of bloggers for a Christmas Night tour. I think this is easily going to be my favorite tour yet. Have you ever been to a progressive dinner? Where you start appetizers at a neighbors house, drinks at the next and keep moving around to see all your neighbors homes and eat dinner in small bites along the way. End at dessert! Although there is no food on the tour...there are over 25 homes you can easily peep into. Easier than a Progressive Dinner. I hope you make it over to the blog today to see our home at night. And I just and I just want to say Merry Christmas to you! I honestly wish I could have you all over to our home to do this tour in person. Thank you for supporting my blog, what a gift you have given to me. xxxxx

My favourite section is Wrapped with Love. It’s filled with gorgeous ideas on wrapping gifts and making them look as special as the gift inside. It is divided up into colour themes which a section devoted to making labels and cards. Wrapping symbolizes the excitement and anticipation whilst the presents are sat under the tree. The wrapping can be just as exciting as the present itself showing both love and care. Cake Galore completes this book, with delicious recipes which can be made with (and eaten by) the whole family. Cakes and biscuits incorporating dried fruits - sweet bites of yumminess which everyone will enjoy. Christmas muesli, marzipan hearts and even chocolate truffles.
