{Real Parties} Annual Glam Christmas Brunch

My girlfriends of, dare I say, 20 years have been doing a Christmas get together on and off for the last 10 years.  Last year I decided to do a "glam" brunch because it fits this group to a "T".  This year it was requested that I host it again. I think we have officially declared it an annual event.

Last year I used hot pink, black, silver and white.  This year, I tried to keep it a little more traditional with the red.

I apologize for the lack of pics but hopefully you get the feel:

Stay tuned for next years "glam" brunch...
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!!

{Free Printables} Apple Cake Pops: The Perfect Teacher's Gift

I recently had a friend/neighbor ask me to come up with an edible gift for her son's teachers. It happened to be for teacher appreciation week but I have since received orders as teachers 'holiday' gifts.  I chose one chocolate and one vanilla in each bag with a printable that reads:
 
If teachers were APPLES...
I'd pick you!
