I don’t know if anyone out there was following my blog way back last Christmas, but I made a comment that I wanted to make Nativity costumes for my all of my grand kids. I looked online and I checked costume stores and there were some cute, expensive ones, but they all came in separate sizes and I wanted something that would be one size fits all from age 2 to 10! I know that I was kind of nuts to think that I would find something, but guess what I did!
Here is my December calendar!
This month for my calendar, I decided to make a fun little garland using mini cupcake liners and doilies! I think that it turned out pretty cute. You could use this idea with regular sized cupcake liners and doilies to make a bigger one and of course you could change up the colors to use for any season!
I had the opportunity to attend a Blogging event at Poppy seed Projects yesterday and it was so much fun. Thank you Tauni, at Snap for arranging this fun event! We got to go to their store and shop and they had a fun project for the little kids where they made a turkey with their hand print on a cute little wooden plaque .
I bought this darling vinyl and I knew exactly where I was going to put it when I got home!
I love this saying because it reminds me that we can have fun with Christmas and be Merry, yet we also need to have those silent, quiet, reflective times to remember why we are even celebrating this holiday. Perfect!
Hi everyone. Today I am doing a guest post over at The Wood Connection. I am showing how to make this fun whimsical Christmas frame. Be sure to visit them to see a full tutorial on how to paint and glitter this cute little project along with a great technique on how to paint and glitter the wooden dots!
If you are visiting from the Wood Connection…Welcome! I am glad that you are here and hope that you will stay a while and take a look around and that you will want to come back again and again!
Here are the printables for this frame. I have done both 11 x 14 (which is the size frame that I did) and 8 x 10 sizes. Continue reading
I got a few lanterns at Ikea a while back for the holidays. I made up a couple of them and I love the way they look and the ambiance that they create with the lights in them. They just glow so pretty with the stars cut out of the top of the lanterns! I am really a sucker for lights in my house. I have them everywhere, even when it is not Christmas!
I am way excited about my project for today! I found this at a little boutique a few weeks ago, but you could totally make your own and it would not be very hard to do! I am in love with the concept of this banner!
So “Velcome” to my Lab!

I just love making new friends…don’t you too? Continue reading
Here is my Oct. Calendar. I am just loving my new board and the fact that I can decorate it every month! I know that I am weird, but it is like my very own bulletin board. I can see my whole month at a glance and I love that it is a CUTE glance!
I wish that my calendar were really this empty, but that is only wishful thinking! :)
