Christmas Beverage Bar

Sharing photos today of my Christmas beverage bar.  It's been real cold here in Georgia and hot chocolate and coffee drinks are my go-to beverages of the day.  Yes, I like to change out my Keurig for the seasons and this cute red one will be on deck through Valentines Day.  I knew when I saw the red buffalo check banner at the Target Dollar Spot that I just had to have it. Gingham and buffalo checks go with everything.  I found the red truck on sale at JC Penny and love using it in my vignettes.  It's loaded down with Starbucks peppermint mocha pods.

Flocked greens are all the rage this Christmas, so I ordered the flocking kit on Amazon.  After it arrived, I decided I wasn't in the mood for all the flocked mess that I would make.  I got some snow spray from Michaels and sprayed the greens with the snow spray.  Very easy and not so messy!

The tiered tray was on sale at Hobby Lobby so I brought it home to add to my collection...a tiered tray for every tabletop is a must, right?!

I found the cute red truck napkins in a little shop in Senoia, Georgia.  That reminds me...the store had their Christmas decked out with red truck decor and it was adorned with a big red truck at the top. SO cute!

As I'm writing this, I'm enjoying a hot cocoa and watching a Hallmark Christmas movie.  It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Starbucks Happy

Being a frequent Starbucks drinker, I love this little gift for a hostess, house guest, teacher, or just as a "Happy." I used a Starbucks frapp container, added some shred, placed a Starbucks gift card inside and attached a ribbon with a "Happy Fall Y'all" sentiment. I have a special someone in mind who will be receiving this from me real soon:)
The ribbon really does say "Happy Fall Y'all!" Please excuse the photo {I've been blogging for three years and using this very inexpensive camera the whole time...Lord me.}

If you follow me on Twitter, you know that it's no secret I LOVE Starbucks! I've been known to make multiple trips to the drive-thru in one day! This sign inside Starbucks makes me happy!
Goodness gracious. The Pumpkin Spice Latte. Love 'em!

Couldn't resist posting this y'all!

What to nibble on with that latte? Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins...Lord have mercy!
Not an everyday habit, but oh what a delicious treat!!!

What's your favorite Starbucks beverage? Are you like my Mama...you just don't get it? "What's all the fuss about that place?...she's always asking me!

Well I'm off for a quick Starbucks run!!! Thank you for stopping by today!

Celebrating Miss Janice Day!

That's what husband calls it-- "Miss Janice Day"! It's my birthday and I'm celebrating...it'all about ME! Cards, presents, facebook birthday wishes, e-mails, texts, happy birthday tweets, a cute dress, a cute pocketbook, dinner, cake & ice cream...and pink champagne! Ooh la la! Everyday should be "Miss Janice Day"!

"HERE'S WHAT I WORE" My dress is the 'Carolina Cup' style designed especially for moi, by Annabelle Laroque.
The silk monogrammed sash sealed the deal on this dress for me!

I carried a 'Bosom Buddy Bag' available from The Pink Daisy. The pink and lime green sandals are by Jack Rogers. I wore my pearl necklace and pearl stud earrings along with my rollring wedding band by Cartier. My lipstick was 'Laser Pink' by Chanel, my pedicure was 'Lovie Dovie' by Essie, and my fragrance of choice for the evening was 'Mademoiselle' by Chanel. My iPhone cover was lime green and my ponytail was adorned with a Chanel barrette.
I first saw these precious pocketbooks in the March/April issue of Southern Lady Magazine and just knew I had to have one...the 'Bosom Buddy Bag' from The Pink Daisy.

After a fabulous dinner out, we enjoyed desserts with pink champagne!
