Festive Treats

December 19, 2010 By Spoonful of Sugar - 25 Comments

I love to make Christmas special (it is all in the details!) and made up some treats this weekend for our festive entertaining.

We had some special friends for dinner last night and these are the mini chocolate boxes I put at each place setting (filled with Lindt balls).

We will be celebrating Christmas lunch at our place this year (4 generations!) so I am working on some pillow boxes that I am going to fill with Christmas lollies.

I only have to work two days this week and then can’t wait to get started on the Christmas baking. It is being to feel a lot like Christmas ……
