Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #301 Features

How to Make a Snowflake Wreath

I think this blog post gets the award for COOLEST WREATH EVER! Check out this tutorial for this STUNNING Snowflake Wreath from Celebrate and Decorate.

Hazelnut Lattes on Christmas Morning

Every Christmas morning after we are done opening presents, I always make a delicious eggs benedict breakfast for my husband and myself. It’s not a lot of work but still requires some effort. I’ve decided to make this Hazlenut Latte on Christmas Morning from Love My Little Cottage for myself after breakfast so I can enjoy a little quiet time.

Christmas Tree Puff Pastry Appetizer with Pesto Sauce

Lois from Walking on Sunshine shared this masterpiece at our blog hop – Christmas Tree Puff Pasty Appetizer with Pesto Sauce. Let’s just say she had me at PESTO SAUCE!

20 Fun Grinch Crafts for Christmas

Kelli from 3 Boys and a Dog is speaking my language – she’s got a fun round up of 20 Grinch Crafts for Grinchmas. We love the Grinch at our house – funny story, we recently attending our town’s annual Christmas parade where there were several Grinch’s handing out candy. The best Grinch would crunch up the mini candy canes in his hand before he gave them to the kids with a smirk on his face – how’s that for being in character?!?!?! I loved it!

Welcome to Happiness is Homemade Link Party #300!

Oh my goodness – I can’t believe this is our 300th party! I honestly can’t remember when I first joined the hostesses but I do believe it was back around #145. I have always had so much fun hosting with all of these lovely ladies and I am so proud of how long we have been partying together!

My name is Katie and my blog is Love My Messy Messy Mess. I also share lots of things that I love on Instagram and Facebook – come check out all my wares! Life is all about making messes and tidying up victoriously, and that is what I celebrate!

December is here and we are busy getting ready for the holiday season at our old farmhouse we call Starry Acres. I REFUSE to decorate for the holidays before Thanksgiving, we just got all of our trees and decorations up!

I’m a music teacher so our calendar is FULL of performances throughout the month of December. But there’s nothing like Christmas music to get you psyched for the season of giving!

Before we get to the party link, you MUST check out these fabulous features I have picked for this week’s party! I had the most dreadful time picking only 5 features, but I think my chosen posts are incredible!

Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #300 Features

Bringing Home the Christmas Tree DIY Wreath

I’ve stated it before – I am a sucker for a cute holiday wreath! And it’s even better when you can make one yourself!!! To put the cherry on the sundae, this wreath even features one of my favorite iconic holiday items – A LITTLE RED TRUCK! I just can’t take it – check out this Bringing Home the Christmas Tree DIY Wreath tutorial from Deb at Deb’s Buzz and get your craft on!

Crunchy Buckeyes

Making buckeyes has ALWAYS been on my Christmas treat bucket list – and here is the perfect recipe to try! This Crunchy Buckeye recipe from Tracey at The Kitchen Is My Playground is a fun twist on a classic treat. I think next weekend I’ll be making these!

Crock Pot Christmas Wassail Recipe

This recipe for Crock Pot Christmas Wassail looks so tasty and so EASY to make! Thanks to Arlene from Flour On My Face for sharing this, check out how to make it!

DIY Tomato Cage Christmas Decorations

Audrey from Munofore has this FANTASTIC round up of ideas for making DIY Tomato Cage Christmas Trees. I love being able to reuse and repurpose items around our house and I KNOW I have some unused tomato cages out in the barn!

Holiday Eggnog Bread

My dear friend Lisa from Bloghetti has shared this yummy looking Holiday Eggnog Bread for the holidays. I know, I know – you either love eggnog or you hate it – but I for one LOVE IT! Make this recipe and judge for yourself how you feel about eggnog.

Are those features I picked fantastic or what?!?!?!?! I hope you gave them each a click and left some comment love on their postss.

Happiness Is Homemade Link Party of the Week

2 Comments

Hey there, Sweet Friends, Happy Sunday, and welcome to the Happiness is Homemade Link Party, #299. Today, is my final week as your host. I am Cynthia at Create With Cynthia. I hope you enjoy all the creative inspiration and will link your favorite project below.

Now let’s get started. Are you ready for the party?

Happiness is Homemade Link Party #299 Features!

As you can tell, I am a dessert person. I really hate cooking, but when it comes to baking, that’s a whole different story. On my blog you won’t find recipes, but I do enjoy featuring them here at the Happiness is Homemade Link Party. Here are two fabulous desserts, I may just cook up in my kitchen.

Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Ball!

Kristy from Mommy Hates Cooking is showing off a super easy and fun twist on a dessert. The Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Ball is one I plan to serve up this holiday season. You can get the recipe here.

Spiced Eggnog Pudding!

Eggnog, in my opinion has always been a controversial item. Personally, I LOVE it!!! During the winter months I cannot get enough Eggnog. So, when Ashly from Simply Designing shared her Eggnog recipe, I knew I would want to try it. The Spiced Eggnog Pudding Recipe sounds decadent and you can find it here.

With December just a few days away, I am excited to be featuring two very easy craft projects I thought you might enjoy.

Christmas Greenery Snowflake!

Trish from Uncommon Designs is showing off her Christmas Greenery Snowflake that you can check out here. The Snowflake looks so easy to make and all the instructions are right on her website.

DIY Cone Christmas Trees!

And finally, our next DIY is from Pamela at DIY Vibes. Pamela has you covered this holiday season. What doesn’t go more perfect with a Snowflake than a Christmas Tree. These Christmas Trees are easy to make and allow you to create your own one of a kind decoration. Check out the tutorial here.

Sinea’s Featured Pick of the Week

Hey there, Sweet Friends, Happy Sunday, and welcome to the Happiness is Homemade Link Party, #298. Today, I am the host, Cynthia at Create With Cynthia. I hope you enjoy all the creative inspiration and will link your favorite project below.

Now let’s get started.

Happiness is Homemade Link Party #298 Features!

Vintage Turkey Printable Postcards!

Today, we are starting with Lisa at Fresh Vintage by Lisa S. Aren’t these Vintage Turkey printable postcards just adorable? My mind is spinning with ideas for what I’d like to do with them. Of course, mailing them out to family and friends would be fun enough.

Rustic Harvest Wresth

Michele from The Scrap Shoppe created this adorable Rustic Harvest Wreath. She speaks my language when she says, “think outside the box when it comes to your wreath form.” I love how she used Vintage items to create a look of new and old.

The Chocolate Tahini Fudge

And now for some yummy dessert options for your holiday. Claire from Claire Justine is showing off her Chocolate Tahini Fudge. Who wouldn’t want to take this to a holiday party? Check out how she made the Chocolate Tahini Fudge.

Snowball Cookies in a Jar

And finally, I am sharing another dessert as I’m always looking for desserts to take to parties or give to my favorite friends and family. Jenn at Clean and Scentsible is showing off her Snowball Cookies in a Jar. Don’t they look so yummy and fun?

It’s November, and we are in the final countdown to be celebrating Thanksgiving. I hope these recipes and projects will make your Thanksgiving holiday more festive.
