Every year I try to come up with
a little something special
to celebrate the season
with my daughter...
This year we decided on a
"Crafty Christmas Play Date"
To get started I needed the
perfect invitation and when I
found this "Cool Yule" invite at Tiny Prints
it was the beginning of everything!

Once I had the invite,
the party really came together...
We started with a
signature cocktail of

Since we had plans to be crafty & creative,
we were going to need a cool headband
to get in the mood!
Gingerbread Houses
were waiting to be decorated...
And the girls loved it!
Letters to Santa were written & mailed!
(it's so convenient having a mailbox right across the street!)
And don't cha just love the "Jumbo Pen"?!
Sweet Treats were made...
Dipped Jumbo Marshmallows
are always a good idea!
And Sweet Treats were consumed!
I must say, the add-on of the
coordinating "Cool Yule" stickers
really inspired some fun favor
ideas as well...

These were some of the contenders
for the Party Favor!
(and now I have some neighbor gift ideas as well)
Ultimately, we went with the
"S'mores Kit"
But my daughter loved the dipped
Jumbo Marshmallows so much,
that we made them one of the kitchen crafts!
The girls ended the playmate
with popcorn & a Christmas movie!
Thus our
"Crafty Christmas Playdate"
was a smashing success
and the perfect start to
a wonderful holiday season...
Ho, Ho, Ho!!!
