Laudable Links: 3rd Edition

Can you believe it's December? So, in honor of "the most wonderful time of year," this Laudable Links is Christmas-themed!

RECIPES

• Cathie Filian's How to be Domestic blog always has great ideas.  I love these recipes for chocolate-dipped goodies.  They would be so cute wrapped up to give as gifts.

CRAFTINESS

• This adorable yarn ball wreath is super simple to make.  The Pleated Poppy's tutorial is easy to follow.

• The Crafting Chicks have a great tutorial for a cute-as-pie Christmas Countdown Garland with fun daily tasks to prepare for the big day!

FLUFFINATION (this phrase was coined by my friend Wanda and means "the art of fluffing the home")

• PeasandCarrotsToo's etsy.com store has these adorable Christmas tree napkins for sale.

• The Inspired Room has a great post about How to Decorate a Christmas Mantel.

GOOD FOR THE SOUL

• Advent season is upon us.  I posted earlier in the week the link to the outline that I follow. Here it is again.

• Another book that is an excellent resource is by Nancy Guthrie. Come Thou Long-Expected Jesus can be found HERE.
