Christmas favorites at Inspire Me Monday

Taking a little time off so you will find this week’s link party directly below.  Wishing you all a Happy New Year!!! I love and appreciate all of you!  I will double up on the features next week! 

Welcome to Inspire Me Monday! We had a beautiful weekend filled with family and friends. I’m feeling pretty good heading into the week with just a few last-minute things to get done and work on our Christmas Eve party. Kids aren’t too busy with work so hopefully we can all get out and create a few more memories for 2023. I’m working on a quick little getaway for us up to the local mountains so they can ski for a few days.
This is the last year they are all home so I’m cramming it all in. And when I say that, they all 3 might be leaving in the fall for school, definitely 2. As a parent, you think of the day each one will leave 1 at a time but you never think they would all go at once. Our oldest 2 transfer after 2/3 years here locally at Junior College for their last 2 years at a university and our youngest may be headed out as well, so crazy. Time truly flies by!  I can’t wait to see what you have for this week’s link party, wishing you a wonderful week ahead!

My Wee Adobe is sharing 2 ways to make beautiful Velvet Christmas Ornaments! I’m done crafting for this year but I would love to try these next year.

How fun are these melted snowman bark from Organized Island. My kids would have loved these when they were little!

These Dollar Tree Christmas DIY Clothespin Poinsettia Ornaments are just adorable and affordable from Creatively Beth

I updated a 2011 post with some new pictures of the first Christmas ornament I ever posted on the blog and people went crazy for it. The old ugly picture are still my number 1 reference on Pinterest during the holidays, It’s so funny. Epsom Salt ornaments!
