Christmas Cookie Swap


This cookie swap was so much fun to plan!  I was SO excited when I saw Hostess With the Mostess new printable designs! I was looking for the exact colors and style of the printables.  You can find the Cookie Swap Printables I used here:  http://www.etsy.com/listing/116400584/printable-party-collection-holiday
There is nothing better at Christmas time than a cookie exchange.  My mom growing up always made 15 different kinds of cookies and she still does! I also LOVE baking and especially making cookies at this time of year.  This Cookie Swap was SO fun and SO tasty!  Enjoy!

Winter "Mint" Party

This Winter "Mint" Party was SO much fun to style and create. Since Wonderfully Made Events website has just been redesigned by Jacquelinne Altom at Smitten: http://www.smittenblogdesigns.com/ I thought what better way to celebrate than to throw a Christmas in November photo shoot. I LOVE the colors mint and red together so I decided to stick with the mint theme and create a bunch of mint treats for the dessert table.

Decorating for a Christmas Dessert table is SO fun! For this Mint dessert table I used old vintage window panes, pinecones, old painted frames, pieces of wood, vintage sleigh, wreath, ornaments, flag pennants made out of scrapbook paper from Hobby Lobby & twine, decorated tape by Martha Stewart used on drinking jars, presents wrapped in paper from World Market. I found all my cake pop sticks, cupcake liners and paper straws at World Market. Ice cream cups and flag topper was bought at TJ Maxx.  Wooden Signs are made by Joanie Ennessy. 
This dessert table was made up of, Chocolate fudge MINT Cupcakes, Homemade MINT Fudge, Vanilla MINT chocolate covered pretzels, Iced Mint Mocha fraps, Chocolate dipped MINTOreo’s, MINT Chip Ice cream, Pretzel MINT Chocolate rounds, Mint Fudge Chip Cake Pops and Mint Vanilla crème Mousse. All made by Wonderfully Made Events.
A BIG thank you to my sister Christina Bos who shot all the photos for this event!
