Sunday Rewind: A sparkly Christmas chair. (Porch decor…)

December 21, 2014 Leave a Comment

Our front porch is kind of funky.  I long for a nice, symmetrical porch and entry way, but alas, I have a small front porch and an odd window ledge next to the front door.  Instead of the beautiful porch decor I envision, I create little holiday vignettes by the ledge instead. During Halloween last […]

Sunday Rewind: DIY Glitter Christmas Sled

December 14, 2014 Leave a Comment

Last year I made over an old sled for Christmas, using my Cricut and some great glitters from Michael’s.  This project was super easy to do, and even if you don’t happen to have an old sled in need of a make-over, you could also just make a cute sign on an old board. I […]

Sunday Rewind: Spicy Buffalo Chicken Dip

November 2, 2014 1 Comment

My friend Kirsten makes THE most delicious spicy buffalo chicken dip. The way everyone tends to jump on her when she shows up at parties with this stuff, she’s lucky she hasn’t been injured in the enthusiastic frenzy from people trying to get their hands on it.   It’s like spicy crack.  (I assume.) It’s just a few […]

So often people think that you need to go to the holiday/seasonal section of a store and buy your home decor or holiday decorations.  Not […]
