November
We spent Thanksgiving with family in Wausau and all camped between my mil's
and sil's homes. We drank wine, ate yummy food, Michelle and I took a trip to
Hobby Lobby and came back to get our craft on. Kids had a blast playing
with all of their (2nd) cousins and the older kids kept them all entertained.
It was absolutely lovely.

| cousin love. Julka/Larson/Revie/Witt clan Pinterest Party It all started out with a couple of pins off of Pinterest, followed by more than one comment on how we should have a Pinterest party, and wouldn't that be fun!?! My friends, Christyand Katie were my co-hostesses(??? is that right??). We planned, conspired, pinned, traveled to a hour away Hobby Lobby (more than once…with kids! even) but the outcome was oh so worth it! It was a very successful (EPIC) event. Since we were going to have more than work station, we decided to keep the guest list small (figuring 2 to 3 gals would be at each table). Photos are courtesy of Christy and Katie :) |

Each guest were asked to bring an appetizer that they had pinned off
of pinterest.

| this is mine, I LOVE it!!! |

the pin off of pinterest takes you to Etsy but it was pretty easy to figure out what we needed to do. We found cute Christmas scrapbook paper at HL, Katie chopped, sanded, drilled a small hole into what will be the top of the wood blocks, and precut the paper. Then we SPARKLE mod podge the paper on to the wood. Added pretty ribbon. And waaaala! |
 |
| very vintagey. very sparkly. very merry christmassy... |
 |
| these were the party favors I made for everyone |
 |
| everyone were asked to make a pinned craft (winter or Christmas theme), wrap for a gift exchange. |
