with no rhyme or reason we all give ourselves just a little bit of extra "frantic" for our holiday celebrations! whether you are a hostess or a guest,
there is always much to do last minute.
i personally have just returned from them myself,
and FINALLY able to sit here and give some helpful tips to you darlings!
just hours left until christmas eve gatherings...
i'm sure there are some of us that need to clean, bake, shop
and do the ever so dreadful wrapping!
certainly, we all wish we had a buddy the elf to pick up the slack for us!
it becomes easy to panic at the last minute but please, don't stress!
no better place to start then here,
so sit back, relax and make a list of what you might have to do...
shop til you drop, or until they close!
remember if you are still looking for gifts for your loved ones,
most stores are open until at least 8pm this evening.
need some assistance?!
*remember special doesn't need to be expensive,
special can be a great DIY gift!
its always nice to receive a handmade gift,
it means the you were thought about in the process ;)

clear glass balls, some mop & glo and glitter!
1*pour the mop & glo (2 tsp) into ornament,
swirl it around making sure the entire inside is coated.
2* dump out the excess mop & glo into separate cup - YOU CAN CONTINUE to reuse it.
3* funnel in extra fine glitter then shake up so the glitter disperses evenly. dump out the extra glitter into a seperate cup - YOU CAN REUSE THIS TOO!
4* place top back on the ornament and adorn with a bow of your choice .
glass wine goblets, chalkboard paint & chalk!

it really doesn't get much easier then this. all you need is time to let this beauty dry!
1* tape off the portion of the glass that you don't want to be painted (in my case i only did the bottom)
2* follow instructions per the type of paint you are using ~ grab a box and let it sit upside down to dry for up to 8 hours!
3* for some extra flare find wine glass charms in your local craft store & of course no wine glass would be complete without a great bottle of wine!
hope these tips and ideas
help make the last of your christmas shopping & prep easy!
up next hostess with the mostess, christmas/ christmas eve style!
