Rustic Sign for Christmas – 12 Days of Christmas {Day 5} The project I had planned for Day 5 of my 12 Days of Christmas was a bust. It just wasn’t turning out as I’d envisioned it, so I was wracking my brains to come up with another project. Then I realized I didn’t have a sign planned yet, and I love doing signs for Christmas. While soaking in the bathtub later (a.k.a. my “office”), I looked up at the rustic {Read More}

We don’t have recycling pickup, since we live outside the city limits, which is why you will frequently see projects created by me from things most people take to the recycling center – like tin cans and glass jars. That means I have lots of tin cans and jars to craft with…lots. If you save glass jars too, this Day 3 project for my 12 Days of Christmas celebration is for you! I almost feel guilty calling it a “project”, because {Read More}

I hope you rummaged through you recycling bin yesterday, and have gotten started making yourself a Cookie Cutter Window Candy Jar – you could whip up several of them in an evening! I’ve been happily munching on the soft peppermints in my jar for several days. At this rate, I’ll gain 10 pounds before November has even ended! Day 2 of the 12 Days of Christmas celebration won’t make you gain any weight at all, but it might make you want {Read More}

I’ve been as busy as an elf in Santa’s workshop, getting ready for my 1st (and possibly annual, if it goes well) 12 Days of Christmas event, and it’s finally here! Thanks for joining me! My goal was to create projects that aren’t difficult, and don’t require too many supplies, and today’s project fits that bill, so let’s jump right in! If there’s one thing that there is a lot of during the holidays, it’s sweets, and I wanted to come up with {Read More}

I know many of you, (not including myself), are already working on some Christmas crafts and decor. I really need to get on the ball, but inspiration just hasn’t struck yet. I have been playing around with a few antique Christmas clip art images though, and wanted to share some with you, as well as ways you can modify it to suit your projects. These holly frame images came from an early 1900’s magazine, and were used as a headers {Read More}
Antique Bird Prints

This set of beautiful bird prints both came from a 1920’s bird book, and show birds resting on evergreen branches. They are perfect for framed art, and would make lovely greeting cards as well. I’ve included two printables using one of the bird images, layered over 2 antique postcard images that I previously shared.. {CLICK ON IMAGES TO VIEW AND PRINT FULL SIZE} This bird is called a Coal Titmouse.
