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.

I made my sister a quilt tree skirt with cardinals on it. Most years still and in the past, we buy each other a tree ornament. Lots of memories on my tree, I find myself starring at it everyday for long periods of time.
And that is the whole point, memories :)

I, with donations from friends and family, purchased a custom doll for my one year old daughter who was born with a cleft lip and palate. I saw the doll online and not only did they share the same name, but the same type of cleft lip. The only thing different was the eye color but when the doll arrived, it had blue eyes just like my daughter. I’m super excited for her to have a doll that looked just like she did when she was born.

I love your contests, they are so fun!! The last gift I purchased is a bat house for my husband. It’s silly but he has talked about it for several years and now is the time of year to get it hung because it will take about one year for the bats to discover the house and move in. Bats eat a ton of mosquitoes and he thinks it will be fun to watch for bats to move in…so Merry Christmas to my sweet dear hubby…a quirky gift for my quirky guy :)
