Merry {almost} Christmas!!! To celebrate the 5 day countdown, I have decided on a part two Christmas edition for my five today!
– ONE – This week I baked some cinnamon bread in mini bread dishes
{$1 at Michaels} for a few Christmas gifts. I love how they turned out. Depending on how much time I have to prepare the loaves, I’ll either use the {Easy Cinnamon Bread recipe} or {Cinnamon Crumb Cake Mix}.
– TWO – The easiest Christmas tree appetizer ever. Just slice a block of cream cheese diagonally, stick together and drizzle jam or pepper jelly on top. Garnish with a green pepper star and green onion stump and serve with crackers!
– THREE – I received the most adorable gift from my friend Laura this week! Shearling Darling has been my favorite Essie color this season for our regular mani/pedi dates so I was so happy to finally own a bottle of this gorgeous color. And the mug! Oh my. I am such a sucker for an awesome coffee mug!
– FOUR – Christmas in a pot! Give
your home a quick festive lift with some help from the fruit on the
counter, spices from the pantry and clippings from your tree.
You can find the recipe {here}.
– FIVE – Prezzies, prezzies and more prezzies!!
Check out my seester’s pretty wrapped gifts to the family! Did she knock it out of the park with her wrapping this year or what?
Dear best tenant ever, if we bring you bourbon
for Christmas will you renew your lease? Thanks. Love, your awesome
landlords, Matt & Christina.
I started wrapping Christmas presents this week and am loving the $1 Target wrapping paper I picked up and of course Laura’s Bow Tutorial {found here}!
I wish you all the merriest Christmas!

Your bread was packaged so beautifully! And I love how your friend tied the nailpolish to the mug – what a great idea! So much beautiful packaging going on in this post.
