It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ...



It certainly is looking like Christmas at our house this week . My kids are well into the routine of checking their Advent Calendars (first thing in the morning & before breakfast!) to consume the little chocolates inside and count down the sleeps until Christmas.

The tree is up, almost all the gift shopping is done (but none of the wrapping), and my credit card is looking a little bit worse for wear. Yes, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ... except for the cupcakes!

I have had no time at all this year to bake any! So this is last year's collection of cupcake ideas I came up with for various occasions. I really like simple, easy ideas that work.

Thanks so much for following my little blog throughout the year and I wish you and your family's a happy & safe Christmas.

Let it snow, let it snow ...



It's almost Christmas!

Doesn't it seem to turn up on the door step so fast? so, for St. Nick's impending arrival, I have designed this very traditional Christmas Printable Design Set – "Let it Snow".

For some reason I always hear Dean Martin singing that in my head whenever I type it!

This is a modern take on a very traditional theme – a little bit fair isle and a little bit modern silhouette.

I wanted to create the illusion of a beautiful winters dessert feast when designing and photographing this table – I hope I succeeded.

This DIY Printable Party Set is available in my Etsy shop and includes cupcake toppers, monogrammed party dots, bunting, water and wine bottle labels, large and mini candy bar wrappers, straw flags, gift tags and gift cards. All for just $10. Just print, trim & create.

I hope you like this set and I hope it captures the idea of a white family Christmas for you.

Let it snow, let it snow, let snow!






2" Party Dots with graphic symbols and Christmas sayings.
Use them as cupcake toppers, favor tags, wine glass charms, paper ornaments and more.
I love how these silhouette graphics turned out – especially the sleigh, reindeer & tree.
The Printable Set includes these 2" Monogrammed Party Dots. Use letters A to Z as paper ornaments with your family members' initials for your tree, as wine glass charms or place cards for your Christmas table.
Add straw flags to a skewer with marshmallows for your hot cocoa treats.

Set includes four wine label designs
This silver-plated sugar scuttle and fruit platter are recent additions to my growing collection of silverware!

Large and mini candy bar wrappers. Mini designs are perfect for Hershey's Nuggets.
Use for favors, teacher treats, hostess gifts or on your Christmas table.

The set includes "Let it Snow" Bunting and six folded gift card designs
Small gift tags – perfect for candy canes, lollipops and favors.
I love these new cellophane Treat Tubes. Sixteen tag designs in the set.


Six folded gift card designs and eight large gift tags designs.
