Yep, we’re talking about that sweet little cupcake carrier from The Dollar Tree.
We made easy cupcakes from a cake mix and topped them with homemade buttercream and crushed soft peppermint (also from The Dollar Tree).

 Then we added some black tulle and a bow to finish it off.

One cake mix made 18 cupcakes, and filled two cupcake carriers making this one very inexpensive gift for co-workers, teachers, neighbors and friends!

Land of Nod Holiday Party & a Discount Code!



Last week I was honored to get the opportunity to host a Holiday party with the girls from Small Fry and Land of Nod. In Utah we are lucky enough to have a tremendous group of bloggers so it was fun to get to celebrate with some of our favorite blogging friends. 



The florals were done by Lizy from Lizy's Lilies. She is crazy talented and it was amazing to see her work in person. 



We used her eucalyptus garland to drape on our winter wonderland backdrop and then topped it with the goody gumball garland. I mad the backdrop using a queen sheet and puffy paint! It was a fun addition to set the mood for the evening. 


The event was held at the Awful Waffle down in Provo and it was the perfect venue! 





We decorated the place with tons of Land of Nod goodies. 





My favorite part of the night was just catching up with all my favorite blogging buddies and friends. 




We were also lucky enough to have the Land of Nod Creative Director Danielle Kurtz with us for the party. 



Near the end of the evening we had a raffle drawing for some of the cutest Land of Nod toys! 

How adorable is this pig rocker



All the attendees went home with a set of 12 days of Christmas ornaments and cookies from Cookie Haven

Feature Friday: Maple Leaves & Sycamore Trees

Today I am featuring the home of Kat from the blog Maple Leaves & Sycamore Trees.  Here is what she says she loves most about her home:

Even though it's simply a 1980's rancher (high five for dark paneling, brass-accented ceiling fans, and sweet linoleum flooring!), we totally love our home. Our once-teeny two bedroom house underwent a "major renovation" that was completed (well almost...) last year when we converted our two-car garage into extra living space. Best decision ever! It has really opened things up so even though it's still a small home, we don't feel cramped any more. Each room has undergone transformations. And since we're major tight-wads, not a lot of money has been spent while doing it. What we love most about our home is looking around at all our DIY projects and major Craigslist/thrift store finds and feeling a sense of accomplishment. We've all had a hand in transforming it, and that feels great. We're creating a home that reflects both Mitch and I as well as our three boys: a comfortable place that we all truly love. 

Enjoy!
