It's a well-known fact that I love the dots! And so it's only logical that I would completely fall in love with pom pom garlands! I first saw them on Alicia's blog and then followed her link to Kiddley. These just make me SO happy!
I particularly loved seeing the use of beads with the pom poms because I gots beads! I recently picked this up, container and all, at Goodwill for $2.99.
Even though I already had quite the crazy assortment of beads and bits leftover from Miranda's little girlie days, I still grabbed this up lickety split when I saw it!
I spent most of Christmas day mashing these beads up with some pom poms...
...and got these! Yum yum yum! I LOVE them SO SO SO SO much! As long as there are pom poms in the world and random beads hanging around, looking for a home, I'll be making these for the rest of my life! I've even been DREAMING of pom poms.
I also recently saw on Kristina's blog where she made homemade pom poms! SWEETNESS! She directed me to a tutorial over on Bella Dia.
Hmmm...so many pom poms, so little time!
Also, I was talking with my wonderful Mom about Limoncello. I did not realize this was the drink that, apparently, did Danny Devito in! LOL! So this one's for you Mom!
It's VERY sweet. Tastes like lemon meringue pie or if Lemonheads (the candy) were sweet. If you like Lemon Drops, you'll love this stuff! We keep ours in the freezer because it's the best when it's ice cold!!! Yummmmmmmm.......
Oooo baby, you know I LOVE my lemons and that looks so amazing I can almost taste the frosty, sweet-tartedness just from your image. My first taste of limoncello was in the form of a homemade Christmas gift a couple of years back and it was wonderful...a little more on the tart than sweet side which I seem to prefer. Time for a BevMo run I think.

Oh, I've been wanting to try the Limoncello. I'm not much of a drinker but it seems like it would be so refreshing here in Houston during the blistering hot summer months!

I loves me some beads and pom poms! I've cleared out all the xmas decs, though, so none for me till next year. I need something to get excited about next year, anyway.

Renee, Is it not true I bought you your first Lemon Drop about five years ago at that restaurant on the coast a few miles south of San Francisco?
Good Times!
