on wednesday 12.12.12 I hosted our annual book club ornament exchange at my house – I decided to incorporate our mutualloves for pinterest into the gathering and it was so much fun! after weeks of preparing, it was so fun to get together and enjoy – I had so much fun with you all… the holidays this year were my most stressful of all time- I had literally something every single evening in december- along with teaching and wedding planning; however, i enjoyed this evening so much. thanks for all that came and shared in the holiday spirit.
here are a few pictures from my portion of the holiday pinterest party:
my ornament – a city of charlotte and cowboy boots from paper skyscraper
the chalkboard signs are from world market
originally, I had planned to buy red and green gum balls and was going to put ‘blowing you christmas wishes’ on the tags – but decided that we all love the red and green holiday m & m’s …
the santa hats were so easy … mini brownies, cream cheese frosting, and the top of a strawberry
old milk container from world market to let the wine ‘breath!’
i used permanent gold paint and stencils to monogram the mason jars
