I love sparkly balls!

No Kurt does not have sparkly balls. But that'd be nice! Kind of like my own Edward Cullen.

I'm talking about sparkly ornaments!! I participated in Megan and Julie's Ornament Swap and got paired with Jenn from Bliss to Bean! Seriously, she is the cutest. I stalked her blog and she posts so many good looking recipes, and her and her husband are just so cute!

Anyway, this girl knew the way to my heart, and got me TWO ornaments, an awesome card, and some really yummy tea/fruit bites! Feast your eyes!



Seriously...go check out her blog! And check out what ornaments I got for her! Julie and Megan, I had so much fun doing this and LOVE my new ornaments!

While we are on the topics of ornaments, there is nothing more special then collecting/buying ornaments that mean something. Kurt and I have such a variety of different ones on our tree, but I think my two most favorites are this tradition we've started the past 2 years.


After we cut down our tree, Kurt saws a little extra off our stump and we make them into ornaments :-)

Also, don't forget to enter the giveaway on Ashley's blog for the 12 days of blogger giveaways!!

I think that is such a cute idea that you can have a little bit of "kurt's wood" all over your tree that just keeps growing! Lucky bish!

Love the Sparkley balls, but I was a little disappointed when they weren't Kurt's, totes thought he turned into a Christmas time vamp. Hot Shit!

Have a Merry Christmas, maybe rub the Sparkley Balls for your 12 Christmas Wishes!

And I LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE the idea you and Kurt do for ornaments.. I must steal this idea- (gotta have a tree first)Cut me and slice and send one to me ;)

Jess said...

I love your ornament idea! If we got real trees (but we can't because of the kitties), I would do that. Every year that we've been together, we've gotten a new ornament with the year on it.

J and A said...

Cute ornamnents and I love the tree stump idea. Genuis! Darn artificial tree!

Beth said...

i love the ornaments you got. i did a few ornament blog swaps last year and got some really cute ones. who doesn't love a good pair of sparkly balls?

Carolyn said...

OMG! That tree stump ornament idea is ADORABLE!!! Someday when you have like 50 of them, you could make a tree with just those!! SO CUTE!!!

Lindsey said...

uh, how cute! I love that y'all made those ornaments. Look at you miss creative.

Seriously I hate you for your photog skills. I tried taking pics of my tree ornaments for hours and they looked like complete shiz. Yours look worthy of a ornament catalog magazine. I don't really hate you, but that's not fair.

Going to see what you got the Bliss to Bean chick.

Holla atcha girl.

Jessie said...

Janna Renee said...

I did the ornament swap too! It was so fun! I love your "sparkly balls" but more importantly- I love the wooden ornaments you make...those are such a good idea!

Megan said...

Awwww, I love the ornaments that she got you!! Especially the sparkles!!! And that ornament idea with the tree is totally adorable. I wish we had a real tree to do that!!

Nobody said...

Oh my gah!! THE SWEETEST FRIGGIN' TRADITION EVERRRR!! <3

Elle Sees said...

ok, i'm totally STEALING this idea. love it.
PS: Just a few hours left to enter my STYLEMINT GIVEAWAY for 5 shirts.

Raven said...

ok that ornament tradition you guys have with the cut off stumps is THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD. No lie. Number one, you cut down your own tree, which is FABULOUS, and then those stump pieces! Please keep doing this every year so when you guys are 60+, the tree will be COVERED in these! oh gosh I love you guys.

Unknown said...

Oooh I love that bling bling ornament:-)
