I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season full of friends and family and a whole lot of fun and memory-making!  Whether you were cooking, crafting, decorating, or entertaining, I hope it was also full of creative moments!  We’re so close to jumping into the new year but before we start counting down, let’s take a quick look back at the top five most popular posts of December.  These are the posts that you all read and shared the most {as always, thank you!}.  To see more information and all the details on each post, click on the blue links … and be sure to pin your favorites, especially the holiday ideas, so you’ll remember them for next year!

In December, I mixed up a simple but delicious cranberry pomegranate cocktail recipe that would be equally great as a mocktail {just leave out the vodka} {pin it here} …
