DIY Holiday Centerpiece

One of my go-to ways to decorate for the holiday season is to simply take a few clear vases and fill with ornaments, greenery or cranberries. Or fill the bottom of the vase with artificial snow and top with your favorite ball ornaments. Put a few of these filled vases together for a beautiful centerpiece. So pretty and takes only a few minutes to put together for the holidays.

Glitter Reindeer DIY Decoration

{image via livingetc.com}

I am all about reindeer. It all began with that adorable little reindeer named Rudolph. To this day it is my all time favorite Christmas special and I could watch it a thousand times before Santa's big day. To create your own take a simple reindeer figurine or toy and cover with glitter. Wouldn't this little deer be great on a holiday table setting or as a centerpiece, or even on a mantle? So cute!

Drippy Icing Cake

This cake was my first attempt at a drippy icing cake adapted from Andrea Sweetcake's cakes on Flickr. It was a last minute birthday cake and there are a few things I think could use some work but it turned out okay. I love making little gumpaste figures such as bears and other animals and this little kitten was no exception.
