This year was the perfect year for me to have a friend volunteer to open her home in the Marietta Christmas Candlelight Tour today. I say that because I’m not doing too much decorating in our state of transition. We will likely be moving into our new home some time around Christmas or New Year’s. […]
Noel Burlap Wall-Hanging
Helllooooo!!! Just seeing if anyone is still out there and reading!! I may be the world’s most unpredictable blogger this year. (more reason to sign up via email over there ——> so you don’t miss anything when I do post!) But, really…I’m sorry….and yeah all the “real bloggers” will tell you not to apologize when […]
It’s Almost Christmas – 2014 House Tour
I can’t believe Christmas is this week! I swear time just goes faster this time of year. This year, I didn’t go too crazy with my decorating, and I kept it simpler than some years. I think I only bought 2 new items too, which were both used in my dining room centerpiece. I used […]
DIY Winter Wall Art – Wallternatives Decals
This is a sponsored collaboration post with Wallternatives. I only advocate products or services I personally use or believe will be good for my readers. I’m still working on decorating my house for Christmas, and I’m always looking to change up the décor slightly each year. So, this year I’m adding some new wall art using […]
DIY Gift Bags
I always have these great visions of wrapping beautiful gifts and then the busyness of the season gets the best of me and I just wrap up the boxes and put on a stick on bow (if I make it that far). So, this year I decided to make some gift bags in advance so […]
DIY Mini Pallet Ornaments
Today, I’m joining 30+ bloggers for a fun Handmade Christmas Ornament Blog Hop. I love to be crafty at Christmas, so I jumped at the opportunity to participate. I’m just in awe of all of the creativity. I have difficulty throwing away Christmas cards when I receive them, so I have quite a stash. I […]
Our 2013 Christmas House
Welcome to our 2013 Christmas House! I know it is late in the season for a house tour, but it is my reality. I could blame the weather (bad photo conditions), but truthfully, I was still tweaking my decorations yesterday! 🙂 And, since I know it’s probably too late for you to do much with […]
DIY Christmas Wreaths
I had made the burgundy poinsettia wreath a few years ago, and this year I was inspired to make and embellish other Christmas wreaths. The feather Believe wreath was just a bit of an embellishment. I bought the white feather wreath at the after-Christmas sale at Target last year. I had intentions of using it […]
Easy DIY Burlap Christmas Tree
I had some supplies on hand and was in the mood to make some Christmas crafts. I’ll admit my first two ideas didn’t work out too well. I saw burlap trees at Target that had scalloped pieces all around with glittered tips. Looked simple enough, so I gave it a try. Well, I was cutting […]
Christmas and New Year’s
We celebrate Christmas with my family on the Sunday after Christmas, so this year it was the day before New Year’s Eve, which meant celebrating just continued from one holiday right into the next holiday. Bob and I made it a nice extra long weekend to allow time for us to really enjoy our time with family and […]
