You may have noticed that its been pretty quiet around

The Everyday Home.

I will not lie…I am taking a much needed bloggy break and

spending time with my family.  Me and the babies have been baking

up a storm and I am just enjoying this special time.

Hope you are also enjoying this Christmas season.



I don’t know about your home…but I have three little ones who

can’t wait for a certain someone to show up tomorrow night.

 

I told Roo, my 4-year old grandson, that a special man was

coming tomorrow night and asked if he knew who

I was taking about.  

He said…”The UPS man?”



Oh boy… that’s not a good sign, huh?

Happy Eve before Christmas Eve, my friends!  

 

This week, the Co-Host is Anita!

 

Hi this is Anita from Cedar Hill Farmhouse

and I am hosting the scoop this week.

At Cedar Hill Farmhouse last week I shared how I make

beautiful ribbon bows. I’ve put together a simple 4 minute

video to show you how super easy these are.

And now onto our guest host for this week, Mary Beth from

Cupcakes and Crinoline!!

Hello lovely people! I’m Mary Beth from Cupcakes and Crinoline

and I am so honored and happy to be Guest Hosting today

here at The Scoop!

I’m a wife and mom to three boys who loves to create. My blog

is where I share my love of all things home ~ cooking, baking,

crafting, small DIY projects and some kid stuff thrown in. In the

last two weeks I’ve done a whirlwind of Christmas related posts

and I would be so happy if you have the chance to stop by and say Hi!

My task as a guest host is to pick a few of my favorite projects ~

I found it almost impossible. Every single link was wonderful

and amazing in its own way but after going back and forth

(and back and forth again and again) I weaned down my picks

to the five below.

My First Pick is this bounty of natural decor from Mary at

Home is Where the Boat Is. If you’re looking for some last

minute inspiration to decorate the outdoors be sure to take

a look at Mary’s Potting Shed Christmas Nesting & Feathering

post. We’re getting a break in the weather this weekend and

I’m going to be borrowing some ideas for finishing up my outdoor decorating.

Chateau Chic shares her lovely kitchen filled with holiday

cheer including vintage ornaments {which I adore} and the

perfect touches for any Chic Vintage Home. The mini ornament

garland and the vintage hanging scale made me swoon!

Penny from Penny’s Vintage Home shares an entire festival of trees

~ if you love shabby chic and lots of pink like I do you will love

her tree tour ~ fabulous!

I don’t have a fireplace or a mantel but someday when I do

{I dream big!} I would love to decorate it as tastefully as Debra

from Common Ground has decorated hers for the Holidays.

My final pick is the Christmas Decor in the Great Room shared

by Shirley from Hospitality Designs. The entire room is amazingly

decorated but this cotton wreath and stained glass window really

caught my eye. There’s also a HUGE tree that is decorated

beautifully with a basket of gifts beneath it ~ if I can find a basket

the same size I think I have another idea to finish off my decorating.

I am so thankful to the Ladies of The Scoop for allowing me to

guest host this week ~ I had so much fun going through all of the

lovely links shared and choosing my favorites~ I felt like a kid in a

candy store.

Thanks, Beth – so happy you could join us this week

as our Guest Host.
