I love the holidays!!! 
(Sorry, just had to say it again! 
)
‘Tis the season for holiday parties.
Last night’s get-together was a dual Avon-Pampered Chef party hosted by my sister and her friend, Kate.
Apparently, I was really in the holiday spirit and ended up buying $30 worth of Avon products from my sister! Marie bought the Color Protection Shampoo & Conditioner from my sister a couple of weeks ago and raved about it, so I figured why not? It’s practically a third of the price of the stuff I have in my shower right now! The other items that I purchased… umm, I have no idea how it happened!? 
‘Tis the season for red wine and appetizers.
My sister served a bunch of plated appetizers, including veggies & dip and pita chips & hummus. I brought Spinach-Artichoke Dip.
I ate a lot of Spinach Artichoke Dip last night.
‘Tis the season for delicious holiday baked goods.
I also ate a lot of holiday baked goods last night.
‘Tis the season for family and friends.
Please note my sister and Marie’s outfits in the above photo. They’re both wearing their Clothing Swap finds! Love it! Don’t they look stylish!?! I totally need to host Clothing Swap soon!

I love the holidays too! SO much.
The holidays are great! I’m so glad that you are having a great holiday season!
My mom recently did a Pampered Chef/Jewelry party and it was great having built-in appetizers for the party!
I want to go to a dual Avon + Pampered Chef party…with great friends/family! And if the wine flowed, even better
How fun!
And i love spin/artichoke dip. I need to make some now!
I love the Christmas season too. We are fortunate our husbands do too. I have friends whose husbands don’t even want a tree up and God forbid Christmas music.
It is the season of love.
I love the holidays too! Hopefully today is more holiday movies and good times with my boys!
I was at a holiday party last night, too, and think I ate the same stuff you did
So cool about the clothing swap!
The holidays are my favorite time of year! I just went to a Christmas party Friday night – so fun!
Those cookies and cupcakes look fabulous! Yum.
Whenever I go to Avon parties, or Mary Kay/Pampered Chef, etc I can’t help but buy stuff. Mostly because I feel pressured to do so!
Love the holidays! We just put the lights on our tree and outside and despite the event that is every year with lights not working etc, its still so much fun!
Holiday parties are always so fun!! And considering I never even go into Sephora because I don’t trust myself around $60 eyeshadow palettes, I’d say that $30 on all those Avon products is a pretty great deal!
All the food looks so pretty and so well displayed.
Aww looks like so much fun! I once accidentally spent $100 on makeup at a Mary Kay party so don’t feel too guilty about the $30 you spent!
will be glad if u share the christmas tree pic for the jingle event on my blog,,
I love the holidays too. Everything looks so bright and clean covered in snow, the lights twinkle at night. I just love it!
Looks like a ton of fun!! Holiday parties are the best
It’s so hard not to get sucked into buying beauty products! Every time I go into Sephora, I come out at least $20 poorer. But hey, it’s the holidays, you deserve to pamper yourself a little.
’tis the season
Such a festive post, thanks for sharing! Christmas is such a beautiful season!
‘Tis the season seems to be motto these days!!! Looks like a fun party
Enjoy your goodies!!!

I love parties like that….shopping, eating and wine all in one! We just had a Christmas party at our house last night and I just love how festive everyone is this time of year…Cheers!
you should look into doing a clothing swap for bloggers! that would be fun…like a clothing swap/secret santa all in one
I love fun parties like that!
I hope your foot feels better today. I spent a lot of time yesterday rolling on a tennis ball for my IT band!
this looks like so much fun!!!
I love Avon products, it’s understandable!
The clothing swap outfits look great! Reading that post a while back inspired me to want to host one. Waiting until the spring but I can’t wait!
what a wonderful evening indeed!!!
this is fantastic! i love the holidays! thanks for spreading the holiday cheer. im a huge fan
I love the holidays too! All those treats look so good!!
I love holiday parties!! Those cookies look so good
yum
I love the holidays too
Every event feels so themed and the food is awesome (I want some of that spinach dip!!). Hooray for your new buys
If only it could be Christmastime all year long, and we could eat nothing but spinach artichoke dip and cookies forever and ever…
Hooray for holidays!
$30 in Avon isn’t too bad compared to what you could have spent on Pampered Chef stuff. That stuff is soooo expensive!
I would have spent so much more than that on Pampered Chef… I am an addict!
