Karins Kottage Linky Party- Christmas Week

Welcome to Karins Kottage LInky Party- Christmas week!

I don’t know if you have noticed but I have been slacking on blogging lately. After returning from Europe at the beginning of December I have been under the gun. The day after we got back we had a family party! Then another party for the Young Women in my church. Plus getting everything ready for Christmas has been a trick!

I have realized that blogging takes a lot of time.

Balancing home life, church life and blogging life takes a lot of effort. I just wanted to let know how much I appreciate each one of you.

The fact that you come over and take time to read my blog makes me so happy!

Highlights from Karins Kottage Linky party

Debbeesbuzz is sharing a fantastic Christmas tablescape that is swoon worthy!

I love how she created the centerpiece using wooden slabs stacked. There are so many ideas and details you really need to check it out.

I am a sucker for Christmas tree charcuterie tray. Look at all the goodness on this platter!

Claire Justine always has amazing recipes and ideas on her blog .

Fresh Vintage by LInda is sharing her Christmas home tour! This is just one of her amazing ideas.

You need to hop over to see her beautiful home and ideas.

The DIY Dreamer is sharing this amazing wooden Christmas Tree lantern tutorial.

This is such a great tutorial and would make an amazing gift for friends or family!

Karins Kottage Happenings

We have been busy with our family and having fun.

We held our annual Sugar plum fairy dinner with our grandkids and daughters and son in laws.

Then I held a fun Young Women’s church activity on how to make Christmas pancakes.

It was so much fun!

The girls really got creative in making their pancakes.

This was the winning pancake! Grandma got run over by a reindeer!

I hope you enjoy the party! I can’t wait to see what you will be sharing this week!

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

  • Karin,
    You are a busy lady! But I know you love every minute of it.

  • Thank you for hosting, I know it takes a lot of time each week in preparation I appreciate it!
    Wishing you a Merry Christmas!

  • Karin, thanks so very much for featuring my holiday tablescape and the generous comments you made about it! Blogging is a lot of work, and frustrating at times too. I don't know how you do all you do with the Italy project, grandkids, church volunteering, etc.! I struggle to keep up my blog and I don't have near as much as you to juggle. Wishing you the happiest of holidays!

    • Debbee You are the best! It is taxing at time for sure. At times I think I need to take a long break and then I come back and start posting again. I have been at this for over 12 years now which is kind of mind boggling to me. I really appreciate all your support each week. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas in every way.
      Hugs,
      Karin
