A Preview of What's to Come

I know this whole blog is supposed to be about what I do in 2012, but I have an early post! We had a Tacky Christmas Sweater party last week, and Pinterest came to the rescue for a few appetizers. I forgot to take pictures of everything, but below are a couple pictures of my creations from the evening.

This is the Cheese & Olive appetizer tree I made (you can find the recipe here). It was a fun appetizer, and surprisingly easy to make! It does take a little time though. I also made spinach bites and pretzel hugs. Everything was pretty simple, but very yummy! I'm quickly learning that sometimes the simplest recipes can be the tastiest.

I didn't keep my creativity to the food. I also made my tacky sweater. Brian's was actually a sweater I bought at Kmart last year for myself for our party. If you notice the wrapping paper on the wall next to our head, that's courtesy of Michael and Meredith, the hosts of the party; both infinitely more creative than I am. They had wrapping paper all over the house. It was a perfect backdrop for pictures!

I had a lot of fun making my sweater and the appetizers for the party, but I also had a lot of time to make it all since I've been on Christmas break. We'll see how it goes once school starts back next week.

Happy New Year!
