Simple, winter themed decor. (Using what you already have, of course.)

January 4, 2018 18 Comments

I’ve previously shared some of my tricks and tips for organizing my Christmas decor  (hint: store it by color!) But just because I have un-decorated Christmas does not mean that I am ready to start dragging out the Valentine’s decor or spring anything.  It’s still winter, people! So how do I decorate with a winter […]

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 […]

Quirky Christmas decor: a winter chair makeover with paint and epsom salt!

December 20, 2013 2 Comments

Back in October, I used scrapbook paper and paint to transform a boring thrift store chair into a spooky Halloween “Sit for a Spell” chair to use as part of my Halloween decor  by our front porch.    I decided to give the Halloween chair a winter holiday makeover and use it as part of […]

Beginner crochet pattern for a fun and easy coffee cozy.

December 19, 2013 Leave a Comment

My friend Rhonda is a crafty genius.  She can do a little bit of everything, including crochet things.  I cannot crochet.  I think I have a mental block about it for some reason.  Maybe I had some sort of yarn trauma in my childhood I have yet to come to terms with.  I don’t know. […]

I am so behind in getting our home ready for the holidays!  This year I’m going with a white and gold color scheme and I am really liking the simplicity of the neutral (yet sparkly) decor.  I thought I’d share a bit of what I’ve managed to get done: my rustic white & gold holiday […]

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 […]
