I have a sweet holiday giveaway for you today from my friend Cupcake Julie’s holiday shop… Tinsel and Twirl. Julie’s my friend who has the amazing holiday decorations for Christmas each year including the house-sized nutcrackers that she and her husband hand made (Check out this post and this one too). The first time I saw her decorations I was amazed by how many sweet-themed ornaments she had managed to find or even make! And I knew right away that my next tree would definitely have to be sugar coated.
Below are some of the ornaments on my tree right now that I have from her shop.
Ice cream cones, candy garland and cookie pops!
Cake Pops and Gingerbread houses!
Cute and colorful Gingerbread Boys… and girls!
Gumball glass ornaments.
And lots of these little guys. They’re fun and flexible and love to hang out on the tree.
Want to see more?
Here are some of her other decorations that I couldn’t resist.
