Ohhh Jessi! I am SO jealous. Your Bella party looked amazing. All that talent in one house - beautiful ornaments, handmade goodness and cookies. What else is there? Geez, another reason to get out of Los Angeles!
Fun! That key ornament is SOOO gorgeous. That table full of cookies is just heavenly!
You threw an awesome party Jessi! And you're so lucky to live nearby a bunch of crafty friends. Cool!
Jessi, what a wonderful time you girls had. Such gorgeous gifts and cookies that look so yummy.
