Retro Blue

Our retro tree and my new blue light 1940's wreath.

This year I wanted our main tree to look like I remember Christmas to be growing up going to my grandmothers. She had a flocked tree with vintage ornaments in candied colors - pinks, blues, red and green. Silver and gold. Here is our Christmas tree, as close as it could be.

Christmas Sweet Confetti

This years Holiday treats for family and friends! I always like to try something new and my old favorites!

What we have here is:
Heavenly Pistachio Fudge
Cake Batter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Snow Balls
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Frosted Sugar/Butter Cookies
And, Cinnamon Chip Fudge Brownies.
