Karins Kottage Happenings

I have had so much fun lately with fun Christmas get togethers with friends and family. I decorated my dining room in pink and white and gold. Kind of Sugar plum fairy meets Elf decor haha. It is always so much fun to decorate my chandelier for Christmas.

The hardest party of creating a festive Christmas festive Christmas party was getting on our table and hanging paper snowflakes that I made. Why is it as I age, getting up on tables now makes me nervous that i might fall? When I was younger I could do it with no problems at all! Hahaha

You can see more about my Sugar plum fairy brunch and recipes here.
