Creating Christmas with Sugar and Spice and a Give Away

Hello Sugar, are you ready to Spice up your life? lol!  I am so excited that it is my turn to host our ‘Creating Christmas’ party!   I have been having so much fun seeing some of the links at the other parties.  Please share with these other great gals if you haven’t yet!
Remember, Share Your Cup will return next week.

Everyone knows that a little sugar helps to make life just a little bit sweeter!  And we’ve all heard stories of how the children have visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads during Christmas time.

A Christmas decorated with ‘Sugar and Spice’ is delightful for both young and old!  That’s how I feel each time I enter our basement kitchen.  Kind of like a kid in a candy store.
The hoosier is filled to the brim with goodies galore!
