NYE Easy appetizers and cocktails!

Who's ready to kick off the new year?! 2016 was an absolute blessing from God and we are looking forward to see what adventures 2017 has in store for us!  This year we are taking it easy and planning to celebrate with family in our new home. Our community also has a block party that we may stop by to say hi (Our street is literally THE coolest :)  So in order to get the night started I've gathered two amazingly easy appetizers and two fun cocktails!  Lets start with these champagne jello s hot s shall we! (This recipe was found on TASTY and you can watch the whole video on their Facebook Page) I don't have any pics yet since mine our still setting in the fridge! No worries though I will share as soon as they are done!  Ingredients: 2 Cups Hot Water 4 packets of unflavored Gelatin 1 bottle of Cream Soda 3/4 Bottle of Champagne  Sprinkles Recipe: Boil the two cups of hot water and dump into a glass baking pan.

Christmas Cranberry Craft

Who's ready for the most simple Christmas craft ever?! No, seriously this will take you a whole five minutes and give your holiday decor a fun creative boost!  I was given an extra bag of cranberries from my mother and was originally going to put them in my mason jar of of birthday flowers (my birthday flowers always resemble Christmas flowers anyway LOL) when I thought that seemed super unoriginal.  Then I thought, I still absolutely love my wooden beads I made months ago and figured I would try the same idea out with the cranberries.   Materials Needed: -bag of cranberries -needle -fishing line All you are going to do is sting the needle through each cranberry until you get to your desired length. Once I had my cranberry strand long enough I simply tied the two ends of fishing line together into a knot.  At the end you will want to lightly rinse the strand and let dry on some paper towels.  This helps remove any juices from stringing the need
