DIY: "Stock the Bar" Shower Invites
A couple of my faves are getting hitched in 8 short months, which has been extra fun for me as I have a bride-in-crime to bounce ideas and vendors and such around with. Makes my bridal diarrhea of the mouth to the innocent friends more tolerable!

Gift Thy Neighbor
So we moved in to our new home 6 months ago and I still only know a couple of the neighbors! Eek! Between traveling all week to Birmingham, out of town almost every weekend for weddings, Clemson games, and otherwise and being DIY house project-attempters in every other waking minute I haven't exactly been the most open-door policy newcomer!
To be fair, my neighborhood literally is 90% couples with little bambinos, all of which seem to have paired off into teams of roaming stroller gangs. Besides taking Finnley for her walks, our only neighborhood social outings have consisted of a couple of sunset booze cruises in the golf cart - still working on our theme song.
So I made some gifts to spread some holiday cheer! Seriously only 2 people out of 12 were home when Patrick, my brother and I wandered the streets handing out our hot cocoa mix, one of which had literally no idea who we were. Ha! Thought that counts - good thing I put our address on the label!
Hot Cocoa "Snowman Soup"
1 cup unsweetened hot cocoa mix
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (mini melt better!)
1/4 cup crushed peppermint candies
Lots of marshmallows! More marshmallows!
Fashion some tags and write some instructions (I happened to have hot cocoa stamps and cutesy things in my grandma stash of scrapbookables!)
1. Mix ingredients in a large bowl
2. For each serving, stir 1/3 cup cocoa mix into 1 cup boiling water or warm milk
Yummy and adorable!
But then again, maybe this is why we have no neighborhood friends...
