Welcome to the Happiness is Homemade Link Party 565. We are excited about another month of sharing, linking, reading, Pinning and inspiration.  Linda, from A Labour of Life is our hostess for the month of December!  Thanks, Linda❤️  

As I said last week though, when my life gets overwhelming I seek inspiration from all of you. Something a little different this week because Sebastian is here visiting. Today’s features are specially selected by Seb and I together.   But enough about me, lets talk about you. Come dazzle us with what you are making, baking and creating this week! .

Happiness is Homemade Features

 

Jam Thumbprint Cookies

On thing I love about the holidays is ENDLESS desserts!  Cookies, cakes, pies, pastries … on and on.  These beautiful Thumbprint Cookies from Cincy Shopper are yummy and so pretty for your table! . . This blog contains Amazon affiliate links.❤️   . .

Easy Reindeer Mason Jar Christmas Craft

My Grandson is here for the holidays, so his first pick is from 24 Hour Family. Complete a fun and easy Reindeer Mason Jar Christmas Craft to create decorative pieces that you can keep or hand out to loved ones as gifts. These reindeer mason jars are adorable and do not take long to make when using the right supplies. . .

Party Panache, New Years Party Food Ideas

Next up is a feature that Seb and I both loved. Perfect for New Years Eve. Charcuterie boards not only make an impressive presentation, they are fun to make. There are infinite possibilities and combinations. Anything goes,and you don’t even have to cook! This is a cute and simple charcuterie clock made with crackers, salami and cheese. . . .

How to Make Easy Almond Checkerboard Cookies

Another unanimous choice, these charming cookie creations from Ann’s Entitled Life. Not your average everyday cookies. They are a visual masterpiece with striking colored squares that make them look like a work of art. As enticing as they are to the eye, they are equally delightful to the palate. . .

Treat yourself to a wonderful gift — a Shark upright vacuum cleaner!  It works great for all kinds of cleanup but especially PET HAIR pickup.  

Best Pet Hair Vacuums!
