Collected Crafty Collab Hop: Christmas Mousse

Hello to my regulars and welcome to those who are stopping by as part of the Collected Crafty Collab Hop! If you're following the hop, you should have gotten here from the incredibly talented Boryana. At the end of this post, I'll link to the next stop!

If this is your first time checking out this hop, let me share a little background with you. Chatting with Karen, Anna, and Marie, we discovered a few things:

1. We all love squirrels, but can also be just as easily distracted as the fuzzy little friends. Hence the squirrel in the logo and our affectionate name for our group, The Squirrel Girls.
2. That we wanted to create a hop series to help us use the supplies we've been "squirreling" away.
3. We wanted to bring more attention to blogs, still a vital part of the crafting community.

As it turns out, there are other bloggers out there just like us, giving us the chance to create a great monthly hop series! Each month, we will focus on a theme and supply type. We can decide whether we wish to use one or both. This month we could focus on Christmas, using an embellishments mousse, or both. As you no doubt guessed, I went for it and used both!

Mix It Mondays: Thankful For Tequila

 

Welcome to a new month, which means a new alcohol! And for this month, I'm choosing tequila! Now tequila probably seems like an odd choice for November, and honestly: you're right. This was originally supposed to be my May alcohol (because I am nothing if not a little basic). However, the world still felt like it was burning down some, so I just didn't get to it. Several months later, the world doesn't feel much better, so it's time to put a fire in my belly, at least figuratively. But don't worry: I'm going to show you why you should be thankful for tequila too!
