Carrie, what a fabulous round up of gifts. Would it be so wrong to buy these for myself! Cheers to you and your family this holiday season!
Carrie, thanks for sharing all of these great gift ideas with us. Just beautiful & that cocktail looks wonderful for the upcoming holidays 🙂 I am gonna go check out those websites now. xo
This looks delish, how simple, festive and fancy! Can’t wait to try.
Perfect drink for the holidays! I have a few things to add to my list for Santa now:)
What a nice article! We have a young cousin who discovered this year that she must go gluten free. She is 16, so she is old enough to explore recipes on her own and learn how to cook for herself – after lunch I showed her your site and we printed the gluten free pie crust. I wanted you to know how good it felt to show her some yummy possibilities! Can’t wait for my cookbook to arrive.
Your recipe was posted.
Carrie,
The cocktail was a hit last night at grub club!!! Yum! I tripled the batch just to make sure we had enough 🙂 4 hrs of conversation, good food and these yummy drinks and I only had a bit leftover! (Which I am looking forward to enjoying myself at home;)
Merry Christmas!
