It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

UPDATE: Here is the link to Maddycakes on Fox Channel 10 this morning. I love my Maddy's reaction when the reporter takes her M&Ms! She did really great especially considering she got up at 5:30 am. Her behavior now is another story....we are off to take a nap!!

Maddycakes will be on Fox Channel 10 Live tomorrow (Monday). I am very excited and nervous. They are filming in my party location so I'm very excited about that. I was asked to have the place decorated for Christmas with children working on a holiday craft. They will be at my location at 7:30 in the morning...I pray that Maddy is cooperative tomorrow morning! I will share a few pics of the Christmas decor in the store. I will share more tomorrow. This is really why I wanted a fireplace in my store...for Christmas.
Once again to show that there is no need to break the bank for decor or party items~ the red wreaths, stars, stocking hangers, and Noel sign~ I got from Dollar Tree. I got the sleigh from Goodwill sometime in July for 50 cents. The rest I owned. I got the red and gold trees from Dollar Tree. Yes, they looked kind of cheesy all alone but when I put them all in a row~ I think they turn out nice. I didn't have much space between the chargers for centerpieces and these worked out perfectly! Plus they were only $1 each! I also got the ornaments that I used as napkin rings from $ Tree. They were 3/$1. I just alternated the gold and red. If you have a Big Lots were you live, you can get 4 chargers for $5. They come in silver, gold and red.
I really love my Craigslist hutch...here it is all decked out for the Holidays!

I already owned everything on the hutch. I'm a big shopper during after Christmas sales for additional decor. I have no problem packing it up once I buy it for the following Christmas season. Then when I open up my boxes, I feel like it's my Christmas and I'm opening up presents because I forget what all I bought during the clearance sales!

  5. I love your shop....How cute were the gingerbread houses the children were making.
    Do you have a recipe for those?
    Maddy is so cute. If someone had taken the m&m's from one of my 3 kids at that age world war 3 would have broken out!!!!
