PRANK THANK YOU NOTES!! Send one (or two or three) PRANK THANK YOU NOTES!! Send one (or two or three) for a great cause! 

🎄 BACKGROUND: for the past several years, our church has given each kid in our children’s ministry $1 to multiply so we can give back to a great cause! My three combined their dollars and bought a few stamps. We already had the envelopes and cards! We will be able to buy more stamps the more we sell! Speaking of that…

🎄 the past two years, we have sent prank Christmas cards. But I couldn’t get my act together in time this year! So we are sending prank thank you notes instead! They’re $3 each and I’ll send them out the week after Christmas.

🎄 HOW TO SEND:
- pick a silly item from our list: bucket of dirt, pasta earrings, map of Kyrgyzstan, Donald Trump action figure, Peppa Pig neck tie, VCR, subscription to a paper clip of the month club, grocery store version of monopoly, or a miniature snoopy roller coaster! 

- DM me the name and address of the person you want to receive the card. Also send me your Venmo handle and I’ll send you a payment request! 

- your friend will get a note to the effect of, 
“Dear [friend], Thank you so much for the pasta earrings you gave me for Christmas! You know I love me some noodles and you know I just got my ears pierced! You’re so thoughtful. I can’t wait to see you at the reunion next month! Blessings, Candie McNerny”

🎄 You’ll sleep well knowing you’re delivering a laugh + a little honest confusion 🤣 ALL WHILE supporting In His Steps, which is a precious after school ministry in Canton that invests into every aspect of a growing student. They do great work! 

🎄 THANK YOU so much for your support and MERRY CHRISTMAS! 

*let me know if you have any questions!*

And thank you @broadmoor.kids for fostering the fun! 🫶🥳

Got to do a fun Christmassy spread for my girl @jw Got to do a fun Christmassy spread for my girl @jwholmes412’s beautiful Christmas party last week! I love using reds and greens in a board, and loved the orange accents too! 

Jessica and her girls did pretty much all the other food by themselves and it was the most incredible spread! 

I hope Joy and Jesus are all up in your holiday this year! 🥰
Have you tried the holiday drink menu at @rabbitho Have you tried the holiday drink menu at @rabbithole_lostrabbit?! 

I have the privilege of teaming up with four really awesome girls and we got to each create our own cocktail for this limited-time-only menu! Mine is made with Knob Creek, St. Germaine, cranberry, rosemary, and lemon. I’m so thrilled with how it turned out! 🤩

Price and I went for dinner and drinks a couple of weeks ago and not only were the drinks super fun (which I knew they would be after hanging out with these fun girls!) but every single bite was divine as well! Their food is 💯! 

If you have been, what did you think of the holiday menu? If you haven’t, when do you think you’ll go?! 🤩

If you need to grab a bottle or ten for your next If you need to grab a bottle or ten for your next Christmas gathering, you’ve got to check out @levurebottleshop! This shop is so nicely thought out (the design is 💯), is so unique (I love the cheeky descriptions of the wines written actually on the bottles!), and is CLEAN (meaning, if wine could be farm-to-table, it would be Levure’s inventory!) 

I discover something new and exciting every visit, I never miss the Budget Bubbles shelf, 🤩 and the staff is SO kind and helpful! 

Thanks, Levure, for adding a little extra fun to the season! 🥰🎄🥂 #brandpartner
