I have an ugly front door. Admittedly, the dead mums aren’t helping, but still, it’s ugly. It’s a sturdy metal door, but that’s about all that can be said for it. It’s gotten dented, and marked up, and it’s just very bland looking. A few months ago, I asked my husband if I could paint our ugly front door. He said he didn’t care, so I went online, searching for inspiration to decide what color to paint it, and I spotted {Read More}

December 1, 2014 by 12 Comments
I can’t believe my 12 Days of Christmas crafting event is almost over, and I really can’t believe I pulled it off! I wasn’t thinking things through carefully when I scheduled it – with Thanksgiving, a visit from my inlaws, and one of my college sons coming home for over a week falling smack in the middle of the event, but I survived – I just pulled a lot of late-nighters to get everything done. I think I deserve to {Read More}

Let’s face it – Christmas is an expensive holiday. It’s hard enough to buy gifts for your immediate family, but when you add on a gifts for the teachers, and a gift for the hostess of the party you’re going to, and a gift for the great aunt, who you only see once a year, it can become outrageously expensive, and your fa la la starts to fade fast when you realize how long your gift-giving list is getting. Don’t despair – you {Read More}

For the last several weeks, my kids have been mentioning ideas of gifts they’d like for Christmas, and I told {Read More}

Before I show you the 8th project for my 12 Days of Christmas, I thought I’d share a little about my Thanksgiving. If there’s one thing that could be said about it, it was memorable. That’s good, right? Well – I’ll let you decide. As I mentioned before, my husband’s parents came to spend Thanksgiving with us. As I’ve also mentioned before, I don’t like to cook. I do it out of necessity, but I’m much more relaxed with a {Read More}

November 27, 2014 by 5 Comments
I know most people love glitter, but I rarely use it, because I end up with glitter in my hair, glitter glued to my table, and somehow even my animals end up sporting glitter, but there’s just something about the holidays that requires a little sparkle that only glitter can give. Today’s Glittered Letter Apothecary Bottle banner is super easy, and requires only a few supplies.
a Rustic Christmas Bushel Basket

Welcome to Day 6 of my 12 Days of Christmas crafting celebration! Wheww… now I know how the elves feel, trying to get so many things made for Christmas! They are probably smart, and start in January, instead of waiting until November to think, “maybe we should start working on Christmas projects now.” I think I work better at the last minute than I do starting months in advance, anyway though. Today’s project involves this old bushel basket I got {Read More}
