Happy Monday Jaderbugs! I hope y’all had a good weekend. Is it Friday yet, haha?
I am bursting with Christmas spirit these days…{was that believable}? But seriously, today is THE day the spirit is waking up from its nap. Get ready for unique posts every day all based on this magnificent holiday. In today’s post I wanted to give you a little bundle of joy. Yep that’s right today you are getting a whole collection of goodies. I have noticed a lot of pink’s and green’s this year so that is what cha getting today.

These are great for that Holiday party you are having, or for your personal happiness. I printed out one of each to use in my own decor.  Below each picture is a link to download the original PDF. I suggest doing this because the print comes out a little better. However if you don’t want to do that you can just right click and save or drag to your desktop. Then print.

First thing is this whimsical printable. I put this in a huge gold frame in our kitchen, it looks so fannn-cyyy.

You can save it to your desktop or get original PDF below.

Below is a fun printout on note paper so you can write your to-do list, a love letter, a note in your child’s lunch box or a grocery list on. I printed about 5 of these!

You can save it to your desktop or get original PDF below.

Last are some cute cupcake punch outs. I use a 2″ circle punch for these. If you don’t have a hand punch you can just use scissors. Trust me it works just as good. After you cut these you glue a toothpick on the pack and another one on the opposite side. When dry just pop it onto the top of a cupcake or cake.

I hope you enjoyed all of these FREE downloads I made you! I know I sure am…

See ya in the next post, don’t forget to make it a DIY kinda day!

Howdy Hoo Jaderbugs! I am super excited to share with you some super popular food posts from last years Holiday season. I can’t wait to show you the DIY projects I have been working on for this upcoming week because they are some great gift ideas also!

No.1

Today I will start off with this super moist delicious cake. Every time I make this my heart get’s excited. Did I mention that my family tears.it.up? Click HERE to see how I made the mini flag bunting for the cake.

The next thing I will show you are my famous red velvet cake balls. Me and seester made these last year for Christmas and let me just tell you we had a blast. The thing I love the most about these cake balls is that you can get your kids involved. If you decide to make them, make like 100 of them because the person eating all of them will never feel like they ate “ALL” of them.

{{haha}}

No.3

Now these yummy suckers will turn you into a
“Popcorn Snatcher Monster.”
I am serious. When you finish making these and let them sit for about 15 minutes…they have this warm, chewy, sweet goodness to them. It’s actually quite delicate in your mouth. I love that you control how “PEPPERMINTY” you want it!

No.4

Sometimes we spend so much time looking for “special” recipes that we pass up the really SIMPLE (awesome) ones!
This recipe is the perfect recipe to WHIP up in a JIFFY.

No.5

I am so proud of these because they totally happened by accident. Well I sorta was playing around but I locked this recipe in to “jaderbomb” because you “might” see this somewhere later on….
I made sure that is was very easy to make so enjoy!

 Well Jaderbugs, I hope you enjoyed all of my great recipes from last year! Stay tuned for many new ones this month. The first “GOOEY” one will be up sometime tomorrow!

Make it a DIY kinda day,

Good Morning Jaderbugs!
Is it really Friday? Wait… It is Friday!

I posted a picture of this craft on Instagram last week and everyone was excited when they saw the GOLD glitter. I get excited when I see GOLD glitter.

 I also get excited when I see gold glitter with a hint of light near it, don’t you? Today’s craft is super fun and will add that pop of holiday decor to any space. This is great for any occasion actually. What I love the most is you can spell out whatever you want! 

You can MONOGRAM it!
Let’s get started.

Seriously, how cute is this? I wish I could show you how pretty they look when they are lit.

INGREDIENTS:

*Tall glass candles
( I got these from Walgreens. 2 for $5)
*Mod Podge
*Wooden Letter
(I got these at Hobby Lobby. They were around 50 cents)
*Gold glitter
*Brush
*Baker’s Twine 

The first thing you will do is coat the letter with Mod Podge. I actually put one layer of glitter and now I am applying the second layer.

After you coat your letter with Mod Podge, sprinkle with your glitter.
*sprinkle
*sprinkle
*sprinkle

Cut a piece of baker’s twine and gently wrap it around the letter (or number).

Once you wrap your twine around your letter then you will wrap your twine around the candle. BTW, I bought my candles without any sticker or wrap on it. It came clean and crisp just like the picture.

VOILA! Peace on my window seal, at night, while I eat Nutella on toast, and drink a Dr. Pepper, while watching RHWOA, then taking my chewy vitamins because I can’t swallow pills…. YEP.

P to the E to the ACE from my crib to yours.

Don’t forget to GLITTERBOMB something!

It’s time to do another  Live Hangout Today! I will be hosting, and Gina from The Shabby Creek Cottage and Karen from the Graphics Fairy-DIY will be joining us also, with 3 cute Handmade Ornament Projects! You can watch it live here at 11:00 AM PST / 2:00 PM EST! If you miss it live, you can still watch it here afterwards, although there may be a bit of a delay in between before it shows up again.

Hope to see everyone there!!!

I can’t believe it’s already December. I think like last week I went to Hobby Lobby and the Christmas decor was already 50% off. Do you think that is all a big gimik just to get us to buy things? They prolly pay so little for things that even selling it at 50% off they still come out way ahead. I don’t think I will ever understand that.

So last night we decided to finally put lights “outside” of the house. You know that thing where you constantly try to out do yourself each year. Wahhh Wahhh Wahhh. This year turned out to be an epic fail. I know what your thinking. How hard can it be to put up lil ole lights outside your house. Did I mention that I have those big “old” looking lights and when I plugged them in I realized one was burnt, so then I tried to screw it in more THEN I electrocuted myself and burnt the ENTIRE string? Oh yeah. That happened.

Let’s get off this subject because I have designed a super cute outfit that would look great on everyone. If you click on the picture it will make it much bigger. I also included the links below for you so you can purchase them strait from here! Gotta run Jaderbugs!

I SPY with JADERBOMB – DECEMBER Game List

Quote of the day:
“If you don’t have confidence, you’ll always find a way not to win.” -Carl Lewis

Happy Sunday! I am so excited to reveal the new list for December. Before you say anything I realize I am posting on the 2nd and it starts on the 1st. I can’t even begin to tell you how swamped I have been for the last week! I kept saying, I will do it later to myself… Well later finally arrived, a day late and a dollar short. (teeheheeee)

This month is super fun. I like to make December all about the fun, magical things we experience. So enjoy!

{{{a good thing to do is make this picture your screen saver so you will NOT forget to play the game}}}

You can print it out, put it on your fridge, at your desk or just keep it in your pictures album on your phone. It’s also good to set a daily reminder on your phone.

The HASH tag for every picture you post will be

#ispywithjaderbomb

(it’s very important that you put this in the comment section for each picture)

If you are new to this game I host every month let me tell you a little about it. It’s a fun game that anyone can play. It’s a simple way to stop and smell the roses. I know, that sounded so cliche but you understand. We all live busy lives and sometimes we miss little things that are really HUGE important things. It’s not hard to mess up because each day represents that day in the month. Don’t worry if you skip a day, we still want you to pick right back up and start taking pictures!

Share your pictures on your INSTAGRAM, TWITTER,FACEBOOK or wherever! I am in love with instagram.  I love that I can post a picture to facebook or twitter right from it. 3 in 1. These are little things that make me happy.

Follow me on INSTAGRAM. My handle is

Some fun apps that I am ALWAYS using to add flare to my pictures are:

Camera+ 
(this app has a ton of filters to make your pics amazing)
LensLight 
(I love this app because you can add sparkle and shine to your pictures)
Collage Day 
(FREE, this is the one stop shop to add washi tape or whatever to your pics)
PicFrame 
(use this to put more than one picture in one frame and you can write on your pics here)
 BubbleFrame 
(this app allows you to put your pics in BUBBLE’S and cute bubbles at that)

I hope you enjoy the month of December! See you in the next post.

Don’t forget to join me in the Live google hangout I will be hosting this week! The Graphics Fairy and Shabby Creek Cottage will be co-hosting with me!
