Candlelight at Christmas-time is probably prettier than candlelight at any other time of year.  Today I’m making easy DIY Christmas luminaries using empty jars, wax paper and simple marking pens. Measure and cut a piece of wax paper to fit around your clean glass jar.  I used a pretty blue metallic marker to draw snowflakes on […]

This post brought to you by BIC®. The content and opinions expressed below are that of http://thevspotblog.com/.

Last minute Christmas decorations in no time flat.

December 24, 2013 5 Comments

Where did  December go?!  How is it possible that it’s Christmas Eve?  For the first time in years my shopping isn’t done, and there are a couple of bare spots in my home that don’t have that Christmas magic.    I thought I’d share a little inspiration for some last minute Christmas decorations.   It’s […]

Gingerbread House Gift

gingerbread house kit

I don’t usually make Gingerbread houses at Christmas time. They are so cute – and a great family activity. But they’re also super messy. And you have to buy a ton of supplies and then you end up eating all the candy before you put in on the house. That’s why I love this Gingerbread […]
