Warehouse Christmas Dessert & Made with Love Monday #5

Last night was the annual Christmas Dessert at our church The Warehouse. It's always such a fun event and last night was no exception! As I mentioned yesterday a friend and I were in charge of the coffee bar and dessert tables...lots of tasty hot drinks and yummy desserts were had by all! Here are a few photos to recap last nights festivities!

We offered 3 specialty drinks and a recipe for each...

Vanilla Latte

Peppermint Hot Cocoa

and Caramel Apple Cider. AND I even crafted a few Christmasy accessories for myself to wear!

A Felt Pom Pom Flower Pin

and some Rosette Hairpins...tutorial for these hairpins coming soon!

And now, I welcome you to Made with Love Monday #5! Last week was my biggest party to date so I thank all of you who stopped by and linked up your craftiness! You all amaze me with your talents! My {FAVORITE} link from last weeks party were the Stockings posted by A Creative Momma.

Not too Shabby! {Some Dollar Store Crafting}

A friend and I are in charge of the coffee bar and dessert tables out our church dessert tonight. Budget is limited so we had to get crafty on the cheap...which means a trip to the Dollar Tree! Here are a few of the table decorations we came up with...

We picked up frames, wrapping paper, votive holders, flameless candles, bells...lots of fun stuff! A BIG thanks to Kristen at Betty Crocker Wannabe for sharing this adorable printable! Perfect for my coffee bar tables!

We can't have open flames in the facility we're renting so we picked up these battery operated flameless candles and {cuted} them up a bit with some paper ribbon and mini candy canes! I love how they turned out!

We're doing a few fancy hot drinks which require various syrups and toppings and since the bottles are not cute at all...we wrapped them up in some candy cane paper and hot glued a peppermint candy to the bow! So fun!

Stay tuned for a full post on the finished coffee and dessert tables tomorrow along with Made with Love Monday #5! Happy Sunday friends :)

Trying out a new ruffle...you like? Faster and no pinning required. For the amount of ruffles I make, I think we have a winner :)
