Host a Holiday Cookie Baking Party!

Do you love the holidays? I know I do! I love them all, but Christmas is my favorite. I really enjoy spending time with family and friends and here are some super cute and clever ideas for hosting your own cookie baking party.

These cute as can be Spot-To-Jot Stockings from South House Boutique are perfect for a multitude of ideas. Yes, the cuffs are chalkboard cloth. Use colored chalk or chalk markers. And each stocking can be personalized AND used again and again.

Here's a very clever idea. Attach the details of your cookie party on a tube of frosting. Tuck inside a personalized stocking for each guest and hang on their doorknob. You may want to add a cookie cutter as a nice touch, too. You can also upgrade to a tree branch button from A Remark You Made for the button used on the toe.

These goody bags from South House Boutique are carefully crafted from a premium, all natural jute fabric with a label (3.50 inches x 2.75 inches) of the most wonderful chalk cloth so you customize each bag for any occasion, any recipient.

Approximately 8-inches tall by 6-inches wide with a 3-inch gusset. They are a great size to be used as goody bags for party favors. These are perfect to give to each guest to hold their cookies from your party.
