12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE! Once again it’s time for our annual 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop. This is our kick off post full of the best Christmas ideas from years past to get you excited for next Monday when the blog hop begins.

This event is always something I look forward to participating in because not only do I get to share some of my Christmas ideas I also get so inspired by what the other amazing and creative bloggers share.

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for four weeks we will be sharing Christmas tips, recipes, projects, and ideas on our blogs. So, be on the look out for our posts.

Also, continue reading because there is a giveaway you will for sure want to enter.
