Another yummy favorite treat is Mint White Hot Chocolate!
The best White Hot Chocolate you can find at the store!! I get it at Albertson's and you must mix it with milk, not water. Yummier that way! Add a little mint and wala....yummy and way cheaper than Starbucks!
This time of year I'm always on the look out for Glass Ornaments. I started collecting glass ornaments a few years back along with my sister's, sister-n-law and mom. We got the idea from my Aunt who has the coolest Christmas tree with hundreds of glass ornaments on it!
These are a few of my favorites!
...also picked up one of my favorite Decor Magazines yesterday!
The inspiration is endless!!!
.....and last but not least I spent time with my favorite person last night! My husband! We packaged some quilt patterns!! My husband has been so supportive and I love him so much!!
