New Years Features

Lets start with the obvious shall we, an amazing Tablescape. Decorative Inspirations has shared a creative and fun New Years Eve Table. I am in love with this concept and will be pinning this to my boards for future inspiration.

Declutter in Minutes

Next up is a perfect post for starting the New Year Fresh. Declutter in Minutes shares some great tips for actually Decluttering our Christmas Ornaments.

One way to reduce holiday stress is to declutter your holiday decorations while you’re on your way to decorating your home.

If you have difficulty deciding what decorations to let go of and want to know how to start decluttering, check out this guide to help you declutter your holiday decor easily.

Punch Tin Lantern

Starting 2023 with some sustainable inspiration. Upcycling and recycling are very important to me so I adore this Punch Tin Lantern idea from Sum of Their Stories. How pretty is this and it saves a can from the garbage so double win.

New Years Eve Treats

Rounding out this weeks features is some tasty treats from Hunny I'm Home. She is entertaining this year for the New Years Celebrations so that involves food obviously. When you’re hosting a NYE Party you have to have plenty of delicious recipes to serve your guests! Whether you’re celebrating at home or with your friends, you can’t go wrong with these adorable New Years Eve treats. Since they’re no bake snacks, they’re quick and easy to make. And when you add some gold and silver decorations on top, they’re the perfect way to celebrate the new year.

Special Feature

And y'all know how hard it is to limit our features because there are always so many awesome options. So I always have to give an additional shoutout to something that just captures my attention. '

So this week there were so many amazing recipes and I thought I should share a few but truth be told the holidays are coming to an end and the schedule from Organized Motherhood just kept claiming my attention. When and How to use a Cleaning Schedule just spoke to me this week. (food will be shared next week I promise)

Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes

Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes

Make classic scalloped potatoes extra creamy with cheese. We love scalloped potatoes, but this time I decided to make it a little different. Nothing like bringing together melty PHILLY Cheese, grated Parmesan and thinly-sliced red potatoes in this creamy, cheesy dish the whole family is sure to love.

I was lucky to get one picture of these potatoes before they dived in.

Cheer for Eggnog Biscotti

Cheer for Eggnog Biscotti

Well, I wasn't going to make cookies this year, but then a friend stopped by and brought me a bottle of eggnog. 
Eggnog Biscotti. Share NOW. #eggnog, #cookie, #biscotti, #eclecticredbarn


So, when given eggnog, make biscotti. The recipe calls for both eggnog and rum, but this already had it in there, actually bourbon. The recipe makes a lot so I will give them to my neighbors - adults only. I will make something for the kids. You could always make these with just eggnog and no liquor.

Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop!

Welcome dear friends. Here we are only a few more days to Christmas. My daughter took me out to lunch today and then we looked in the stores of our small town. It was a lovely day. Since I have been done for a few weeks, we just enjoyed looking. 

The weather was nice but it looks like we will be having a cold Christmas here in Florida although most of the country will be cold as well. I keep telling people, I might be making snow angels after all. lol! Try and stay warm!

Have a very blessed Christmas!

On to the party!

Pallet Wreaths and You're The Star

Happy Monday! Christmas is coming very soon. I always get so excited. I have everything done and I have been enjoying the time. We have gone out to dinner and walked around to see the lights. It is very festive here, even though it is Florida and no snow. 

Our small town decorates like you wouldn't believe and the shops stay open on the weekends and there always seems to be some activity going on. 

I hope you are enjoying getting ready for Christmas.

Decorated Blocks and Thursday Favorite Things

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party

Thursday Favorite Things. Share NOW. #linkyparty. #TFT #thursdaayfavoritethings #eclecticredbarn

Happy Thursday. This month is flying by and Christmas will be here before we know it. I did my cards and mailed my packages yesterday. Then I wrapped my presents and put them under the tree. 

I am so excited to be done. I am still deciding on whether or not to make cookies. I like to bake but I don't like all of those sweets being around. How to you feel about all of those desserts? Do you bake?

If you stopped by my DIY Sled Tray, you saw these decorated vintage blocks with trees. I created a post so you can make you own set. I hope you check it out.
