Birdie garland tutorial

I'm digging this cute birdie garland tutorial over at A Little Glass Box. A little chipboard and scrap paper never looked so good. I'm seeing lots of garland decor lately for all seasons instead of just Christmas.

Heres my favorite bunny garland of the moment. I think this would be a fun craft to do with kids if you're afraid of dyeing eggs. Not afraid of the eggs so much as the kids dyeing the carpet, the walls, each other's hair ...

Syllabub, an alternative to Eggnog

I love eggnog, but some people don't. If you fall into the latter camp and still want to imbibe a traditional holiday beverage, try making Syllabub. This concotion is frothy just like the snowman. Since it's a bit boozy that's how the lyrics will sound as well after you have a few glasses ...

 Oh, frothy, the 'thoman, wuzza jolly happy sssoul ...
