Marianna's Lazy Daisy Days: Tunnock's Teacakes Christmas Puddings

Tunnock's Teacakes Christmas Puddings! This is so adorable. I am just in love with this. At some local LA venue I also threw a fun DIY Xmas bash this year and it just turned out to be awesome. It was a fun bash and the best thing is that I was able to host it in the budget.
