More Holiday ideas/inspiration! - Reindeer!

Whew! Where did this week go?!? The little one is on his way back to TX this morning :o(   Hope you all are winding down the crazy week and enjoy your weekend!

Here are a few more ideas to Frost your holiday if you have any time left ;o)

Still getting last min cards together?! How about decorating them like this adorable reindeer! So clever! Source and template

Creating little wine tags are perfect way to Frost your hostess gift - If you aren't too crafty, just get a circle hole punch, craft paper and stickers! A great trick, pick up the really thick foam adhesive (tiny) squares - this will help your stickers to stand away from the paper a bit like you see here.  Source

Don't these make you giggle?!? These towel reindeer would be the perfect alternative to wrapping paper for a small gift or even better, homemade soap! Source and tutorial










Adorable reindeer you might be able to pull off last min! Starts with purchased truffles! Source and tutorial

Reindeer!

I just finished a crafting project that required all Santa's Reindeer, so I thought I would follow up with a post all about Reindeer goodies!

This cute favor box was made by: brenda62052.blogspot.com.  I think I will try one a little more "awake" heehee, but he is adorable non-the-less! If you have a Cricut, they have the cake box in the boxes, bags and tags cartridge. If not, I know they are starting to sell the cake slice boxes at the craft stores.

This is such a cute idea to give to all the kiddies that still believe in Santa.  It's just cereal or oats or whatever you have with a topper that says "Reindeer Food" with a poem on the back.  How fun!!! Idea and poem can be found at theidearoom.blogspot.com

Aren't you in love with him!?!?  This most adorable reindeer topper could be made and place on a gift, food packaging, card or anything you can think of! It may be hard to let him go, though! Source

Winter cake pops!

I have been dying to get into making cake pops since I didn't have time at Halloween... here are some adorable Winter Cake Pops (even a donut pop!) that might inspire you to do the same!

These reindeer guys are from on of my fav blogs - bakerella.com, she is so dang creative! Grab some candy and waffle pretzels and you are half way there! 

If you are hurt for time (or skills!) you can't escape these reindeer donut holes.  Hello!?!? How stinkin cute? They look almost like the ones above - with WAY less work - and who doesn't like an excuse to sneak a donut in among all the christmas cookies?  I think I shall make a dozen for our Christmas brunch! btw... even the eyes are easy... they are white chocolate chips turned backwards!  Source: duhlicious.com

These cake pops will take a bit more skills... and steady hand! But would look beautiful on any holiday dessert buffet.  If you can't fit them in your baking schedule, you can purchase them from beaucoup.com

Here's another simple one... use a peppermint candy stick instead of a lollipop stick and instant fabulous-ness! Roll the cake ball around in crushed peppermint while the chocolate is still drying and instant party favorite!  Source:  cleverpartiesblog.com
