Christmas Chocolate Cream

I finally found a seasonal beverage I LOVE. 

As we've sledded, skidded, and spun out, I have found a new bev. to enjoy!

School got cancelled Thursday and Friday, so it has been a happy 4-day weekend! 

And it might even turn into a 5-day weekend. :)

No complaints until we have to make the days up. :( 

When I went into the Liquor store the other day, I wanted something like 

Bailey's Irish Cream - which is when I found this. 

(Richard isn't too fond, but he likes 90-proof Peppermint Schnaps, if that says anything.)

Tres Leches Triple Cream is delicious!! 
Three ways I have greatly enjoyed are either:

2/3 Water

Hot Chocolate packet

1/3 Triple Cream

or

1/2 Cold Milk

1/2 Triple Cream

2 TBSP of Nesquik or 1 Hot Chocolate packet 

or

2/3 Eggnog
1/3 Triple Cream 

Ladies, I don't believe it will disappoint!!

Chirstmas Bouquet

 First Christmas craft of the year!

I used a vase that I already had and rope/twine from Hobby Lobby (It was in the canvas bag section and about $4). I started by hot gluing the first two inches of rope around the bottom edge of the vase. Then I just wrapped it around and around and glued in-between some of the rows. I continued all the way up and even did an extra row on top just to make sure it covered the glass completely. I taped the end before I cut it off just in case it tried to unravel on me. Then I hot glued in on the inside of the vase to hide the end!

As for the greenery - it was all from the Dollar Tree for $1 each! I bought one tall green guy (in the back), two gold pine cone stems, two poinsettia stems, and then a gold crazy stem that I cut off and used as a short filler in the front. I stuck them in there and arranged until I was happy.

Voilà! Not too shabby for < 10 bucks.
