Snowman Soup

It was really chilly here in Fresno today and my favorite thing to do on chilly days is to cuddle up on the couch, watch a movie and drink hot chocolate. As I was drinking my hot chocolate it reminded me of Snowman Soup. So I decided to make some.  Unfortunately I had to use two different types of ribbon. I didn’t realize I didn’t have enough of the plaid ribbon. But besides that little mishap I like the way they turned out. Simple and cute!

Christmas Bags

Happy Saturday everyone. I hope that your weekend is filled with holiday crafting and baking. My mom is making tamales today and I can't wait to eat them. Yummy!

When I started out with my Christmas decorating this year I realized I didn't have all my stockings. I really didn't want to buy new ones because only some were missing. So instead of stockings this year I made Christmas goodie bags. I added initials to the bags with ribbon along with a little bell.

The bags did come out a little bigger then what I wanted them to be but now I can stuff some really fun gifts inside. I used two fat quarters for each bag, bought two rolls of ribbon, a bag of bells and used paper for the initials that I already had. Total price for one bag turned out to be around $5. I can live with that.
