Jingle All the Way
Jingle All the Way by Tom Shay-Zapien is such a sweet book for the holidays. This adorable pup responds as you read the storybook. A couple of years ago we got this as a Christmas present and it's a favorite for us to pull out for the holidays. I absolutely love the illustrations which are little toy models that they created and then photographed. I can't tell you how much I want to try this for one of my own children's books. It brings it all to life in such a special way. Jingle All the Way is about a little stray pup who is a good dog. You'll fall in love with him too. How can you not with this little cute husky pup staring back at you? Check it out when you have a chance! Reading the story Jingle All the Way with Jingle the pup is now part of of our family Christmas tradition. Sometimes he sneaks his way into our reading time throughout the year too. We just miss him too much to have to wait a whole entire year! Jingle makes us very, very happy.

Christmas Birdies Gift Tags & Ornaments
Spoonflower is having a Gift Tag Contest this week. For this contest I decided these quirky Christmas Birdies would make for fun gift tags and ornaments for the tree. You can use any of the matching coordinates in the Christmas Birdies Collection for the backside of the ornament or find material that matches, stuff in some batting, sew up the sides and then sew a ribbon at the top to use to hang upon the tree. They would make cute and very affordable secret Santa gifts! Hint...hint!
If you would like to see the entire Christmas Birdies Collection please click here. Within the collection I have a few snowflakes fabrics to choose from, some fun designs with the entire cast of characters and a cheater quilt. Here is one of the designs that is part of this collection.
Also check out my Zazzle shop where you will find tons of items for sale with the Christmas Birdies designs. Here are just a few of the items at my shop!
At my Society6 shop there are art prints and throw pillows with the Christmas Birdies designs on them too. Here are just a few of the throw pillows for sale at Society6.
Thank you so much for taking the time to check out these wacky characters. Hope they brought you a little Christmas cheer!

Hope they brought a little smile to your face this holiday season! I'm just sure there is a children's book here somewhere. Stay tuned I might just be crazy enough to put something together before Christmas is here.

Pretzel Kisses
Pretzel Kisses
Found this recipe on Pinterest and had to try it! This tasty little treat did not disappoint!! I also thought why wait until Christmas to make these, so as I was watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade I created this pretty little batch you see here. They turned out so cute looking that I bagged some of them up and gave them to our friends when we showed up for Thanksgiving dinner. They are festive, tasty and super easy to make.
My friend gave me the heads up that for 1 bag of pretzels get 2 bags of Hershey Kisses and 1 bag of Christmas colors green and red M&M's. I sent my husband to the store to get the bags of goodies. I was actually wanting the round pretzels with a hole in the center but our store only had the square shaped pretzels and those worked great too.
Here are the super easy directions:
Bag of pretzels (whatever your store has square or round)
2 bags of Hershey Kisses
1 bag of holiday red and green M&M's
Cookie sheet
Preheat oven to 225 degrees.
Spread the pretzels on the cookie sheet to lie flat. Put an unwrapped Hershey Kiss on top of each pretzel. Put in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes and do not walk away. You just need to give it enough time to slightly melt at 4 minutes tops depending on your oven. Take the cookie sheet out of the oven and place on a cooling rack and gently push an M&M down in the center of each Hershey Kiss so that the chocolate touches all the edges of the pretzels. Let cool on the cookie sheet. I put ours in the refrigerator to speed up the process after it cooled a bit on the cookie sheet. Then I ate some, got them kid approved and then bagged them up for our friends to enjoy.
Easy, great and cute to add to your cookie tray this holiday season! Thank you Pinterest for once again not failing me!!
Check out this great blog where I found this sweet treat recipe!
