i am just getting a chance to blog about a fun blogger holiday social i was able to attend at alice lane home back in december, hosted by alice lane and kirsten of 6th street design school.

i dragged my friend jessica with me {and my baby bump}, and was able to mingle with some old friends, and new ones!

they had a great spread of desserts laid out for us, and you bet i had my fair share.

we got to check out the amazing store, and mingle with some amazing local bloggers.

they even sent us home with a little vintage glass ornament favor.

thanks for the fun evening!  see more photos from the event, here.

invitations were done by fifth and hazel

here is a list of the talented bloggers that were there:

last week i was invited to attend a rhodes blogger demo at the rhodes bake n’ serve headquarters.i had a great time, mingling with fellow bloggers, talking with old friends, and meeting new ones.deborah (she also does the zupas blog with me), heather, me, and susanwe were able to sit down and watch a demo on how to use rhodes freezer dough products.i loved watching them make the kaiser rolls. i was impressed at how easy you can whip up these fancy looking rolls in no time.it was good for me to see a few demos, since as i love to cook, baking, especially breads is not my strong point. so, it was nice to see an alternative to making it all from scratch.the best part of the night was getting to sample a lot of the recipes you can make with rhodes dough.my favorite was the bacon cheese nibbles, and the butterscotch bubble loaf (pictured above).oh, and the cinnamon rolls weren’t too shabby either.they also sent us home with a ton of goodies, product, a cookbook, and an apron!a big thanks to rhodes and dianna for the invite! {all pictures by dianna of whatever dee dee wants}
