Tout It Tuesday - #36

Happy Tuesday!
Things here at our house are a bit in overdrive. We are hosting my family's big Christmas Eve party.  My parents usually host but they had some unexpected home repairs come up.  Their living room and basement (where we usually gather) are now filled with boxes of clothing and furniture. I know we will have a wonderful evening but in the mean time we need to finish up some projects lingering projects in the living room and hallway before the 24th.  Nothing like a party for 30 to light the motivation fires, right? 

Now that you are caught up with what we have been up to, it is time for this week's features.

DIY Bunting
from Rustic Silk

I love that this doesn't involve the sewing machine in any way. Thread and glue hold it all together. 

Triple Chocolate Toffee
from The Rehomesteaders

Rachel had me at triple chocolate on this sweet treat.  Who wouldn't want to make this for a holiday party?

DIY Candles Holder out of Chair Legs
from Adventures in Creating

I never would have know these were chair legs.  I so need to put spade drill bits on my Christmas list!

Cheesy Smoked Sausage Dip
from The Hill Hangout

This one is definitely going on the menu for our Christmas Eve gathering.  

Who wouldn't love this on a crostini or a cracker?

Before we get to the party, just a couple of other things.

First,  I am co-hosting the Homemade Holiday Link Party and the voting starts today. Make sure to come back at noon to vote for your favorite 5 link ups.

Second, this Friday is the Winter Wonders & Holiday Happenings linky party hosted by Claiming Our Space, Black Fox Homestead, Life with the Hawleys, Lilacs and Longhorns, Practically Functional, The Thrifty Rebel and Yellow Spool. Each of us will have our own project or recipe to share so make sure to stop by to check out what we have each created as well as to link up your own winter or holiday inspired posts.
