Couontdown to Christmas 2014, Day 8 ~ And a little catch up

 Whew!  A little catch up is in order!!

So.

We made it in to town on Thursday, and even Tay didn't have too many meltdowns.

Success!!!

 

 

 

We picked up Starbucks

{Vanilla Beans and Cake Pops}

 

And Kenners even held off on eating hers so that I could photograph its beauty when we got home, lol!!
 

Friday was another busy day spent preparing for our upcoming craft bazaar.

But we managed to fit in a craft:

 

Washi Tape and Cookie Cutter Ornaments.

 

And then Saturday was the big day!  Bazaar Day!!
 

 

 

 

 Sierra had a table that she shared with a friend, and Makenna and I shared one as well.

Even Kam and Tay managed an entire day spent down at the church!

We had such fun visiting with friends ♥


And last night, after a full day of church, and celebrations, we headed over to my parent's house

for pizza and to decorate their tree.



I love this tradition so much!!









 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 What have you been up to????

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Christmas Bazaar

It's that time of year . . .
Christmas Bazaar time!!

Oh how I love this season!!!

From the first of November until the 1st of January,
I just love the sights and activities of the season!

Our church held their second annual bazaar last weekend,
and the girls and I excitedly set up our table, and kept watch for two days!

Christmas gift tags

It always amazes me how much stuff it seems like we have made up,

when we're busily crafting at home, vs. what it looks like when we get down to the bazaar

and set it all up on the gigantic table, lol!

Crayon Keeper


The first day was terribly slow, but it gave us an opportunity to visit, craft, relax.
All of which we never get to do, so it was nice!

Handmade necklaces 


And come Saturday, things picked up, and Sierra and Makenna made friends
with other girls who were sentenced to manning their own table ;) 

 

Tissue holder 

 At the end of the weekend, we had made friends, a little extra Christmas spending money, and
had a wonderful time!

Sock Snowmen

Can't wait to do it all again next year!!

Christmas Bazaar

 My big girls and I have been busily crafting for their first ever Christmas Bazaar!

It was held last weekend, and it was such fun!

We made gift tags . . .
 

 Hot Cocoa Packets, Snowmen Candy Bars, Jewelry, Hair Clips,
 

Little Post-It Note Holders . . . {I found this idea on my friend, Heidi's blog, and she got the tutorial HERE ~ Seriously CUTE and easy!!}

 

Baby Blankets, Scarves, Bath Salts, and lots o' other goodies!

Sierra and I did a mock set up at home before the big day :)
 

And then . . . the BIG DAY!
I was chasing the littles while the big girls held down the table ;)
 

And then . . . the unthinkable . . . we found out that someone was selling BUNNIES!
 

 

 

 We begged the Daddy for one, but it is not to be.  Which is okay {we're kind of holding out for a kitten, anyway!}

Y'all, Thanksgiving is in TWO days.  Then Countdown to Christmas is just around the corner! 
Holy smokes, time's a flyin'!  Whatcha been up to?
