Sunny Side Up {fun & festive holiday ideas}

Hi everyone!  I'm Erin from Sunny Side Up and I'm so excited to guest post at Ginger Snap Crafts today!  December is such a magical month and we definitely live it up around my house!  I thought I'd round up some of my most popular Christmas posts to share today.  Even though the holidays are winding down, it's always fun to get new ideas for next year!  I blog about a lot of things like decorating, fashion, scrapbooking and my family, but my true passion is organizing!  This year I converted my scrap space into a Christmas wrap station to stay on top of gift wrapping.  Worked like a charm!  :)

Every year a good friend of mine throws a "Favorites Party."  It's a tradition we all look forward to and such a fun party idea!

Our family has a fun tradition of making Christmas Pretzel Hugs for friends and neighbors.  Such a tasty and simple treat!
