Trimmings

For a moment, I wished every season had a "tree" to decorate...

Then I realized it wouldn't be near as special that way.  Perhaps that can be my excuse for NOT decorating for all the other seasons...to make Christmas decorations more special...

See that ribbon on the wall? Add a few clothespins and it's a SUPER-easy way to display our Christmas cards.  Here's another idea that I used last year.

Love my wrapping paper this year (and probably next year too--there's a ton of it in the Sams-size roll).  It's reversible.  And, it's not Christmas specific, so it's good for Hannukah and maybe even weddings or birthdays too!

 

A view of our kitchen side nook.  Although you can't see them, the four frames on the wall usually have my "HOME" pictures in it, but have been switched to holiday photos along with the frames all over the main level of the house.  Makes everything look a little more festive and is CHEAP decorating! 

I hung our stockings on the railing in the kitchen this year since we don't really spend much time by our fireplace down in the playroom.  And yes, Paxton has his own now! :)

Now, if only all that rain we had last night could have been snow....

Christmas Stocking Photo Tags

Instead of doing all the things I *should* be doing today, I was inspired to make these photo tags for each of our Christmas stockings as I was in the middle of decorating the house for the holidays:

I made Paxton one too...but he doesn't have a stocking yet!  I gotta get on that...

Supplies: 

  • Pressed Petals Chip Chatter Alphabet
  • Imaginisce Polar Expressions Rub-Ons
  • Imaginisce Polar Expressions Ribbon
  • Clear Scraps acrylic circles
  • Crop-a-dile
  • large white eyelets
  • alphabet beads
  • artistic wire
  • StaZon black ink
  • glue dots

Special Order Signs

I spent the past weekend working on some special-order signs.  I love the process of taking someone's idea and turning it into a final product!  

This first one is a gift for my customer's family friend:

This 5ft long sign will be an outdoor property sign -- can't wait to see it "installed"!

And this one will be displayed at Hope Summit's new "Encounter" worship services:


Only 7 days left to take advantage of the November Special!

Monogram w/Name Overlay

I added this style of signs to my order form a few weeks ago and forgot to post about it! It's a favorite!  These all happen to be last names, but how cool would it be to have one for each person in the family's first names to hang all together on a wall?

Size: 1ft x 5.5in
Personalized just for YOU!  Only $40! Order Today!

Boo Banner

This is a fun little Halloween banner I made (with Ayla's help) to hang in my office doorway. I have it hanging so that the "Boo" side peeks into the kitchen, but it didn't photograph well that way, so I just turned it around to show both sides.
