First and foremost I AM a child of God, Daughter to the King! Recently married to a wonderful man, Michael. Mother of 3 (2 adult sons, 1 teen age daughter) Step mom to 3 (2 adult daughters, 1 adult son) Love all things simple. My home is where my heart it! Create in me a clean heart, O God;and renew a right spirit within me. Psalms 51:10
that I will be working on this year. Hopefully I will get them all accomplished before the holidays.
You can get a tutorial to make this wreath by checking out Eddie Ross. Although I love this one, I will be doing mine in more traditional colors that will compliment my decor. I just think this is beautiful and very classy.
I will also be trying my hand at this wreath for outside.
And I think these are adorable….gonna make these for me
Traci at Beneath My Heart has a wonderful tutorial on making these coasters. So simple and easy and you could make them very expensively. How cool is that?
One other little goodie, I think I might make is a decorated altered clip board. This project comes from Jill over at Controlling my Clutter. You can also find another great tutorial at Candy Shoppe Designs.This is to cute for words. I plan on making a holiday one to keep my notes attach too during the season. Take a peek….
Now I think these are adorable too, and really easy to make, you can find a wonderful tutorial at Mama Thompson. I think this is something you could even do with your children, and how proud they would be with the finished product.
Mandy over at Moody Girl Projects made these great Christmas Chalkboards, and we all know how much we love those. I think having a bunch of small ones throughout the house to write little messages on is a great idea.
So now I have shown you a few things that I plan to make over the next few weeks. How bout you?
I do, but unfortunately it is packed away this year due to a upcoming move. But never the less, I have a great place for you to check out one. I wish I had mine to show you, but Jill over at Controlling my Clutter has a awesome tutorial on making your own. You can also find another one at My Sisters Jar. It’s a great way to keep yourself organized during this hectic time of year. Because I am a list maker, this really comes in handy.
I am really in the mood to get started on decorating for the holidays. I don’t have as much time this year with all the family and traveling that we are doing, so I am going to break my own tradition of decorating the weekend after Thanksgiving.
I hope to get lots of pictures to post to share with you, but until then I will share some that I got inspiration from, and I hope they inspire you to. Courtesy from Country Living. (you will note the country flair) I always do a primitive tree at Christmas.
This picture (below) is my favorite, something about the glow of the tree and the stocking hung….Love it!! Just the simplicity of it.
Aren’t these packages fun. They look to good to open. This is something I do every year on my front porch.
What are some of your decorating styles, tips, etc. I would love to hear them.
Don’t forget to follow me this holiday season, look for the follow button on the sidebar.
whether I am ready or not, right now my head is reeling from all the things that need to get done for this much anticipated
holiday. We love Christmas at my house. Everything about it. The time spent with family, old movies, smells, food, pretty lights, and packages around the tree. So for me, that means breaking out the pencil and paper and organizing my thoughts. Everything from what we will have for Christmas Dinner, to our Christmas Eve treats.
But before we get knee deep in all that, I thought I would share with you a TV listings for your viewing pleasure this holiday season. Mark you calendar or set you recorder.
