I think our family must be going out to eat too often, because lately I keep finding inspiration for projects from paper placemats while dining out. We went out for breakfast on the day my middle son had to return to college, after Thanksgiving break. On the table were paper placemats, that had the mealtime prayers of 4 different faiths on them – you don’t see that very often, do you?

Burlap Christmas Banner Printable – 12 Days of Christmas {Day 8}
November 28, 2014 by 15 Comments
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}

Antique French Advertisement in Fancy Scrolled Frame Clip Art
November 21, 2014 by 2 Comments
This image is actually a combination of two images from an 1800’s magazine. The scrolled frame border originally had different advertisement inside of it,that wasn’t terribly pretty, and the antique French advertisement originally had a boring border, so I combined the two to come up with a much nicer version. This would make a great image to transfer on furniture, flour sack towels, etc. {CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE} Here is the frame without the advertisement inside. Here is {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!

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 bought several magazines from the late 1800’s, that have so many beautiful images and antique advertisements, so you’ll be seeing lots of them in the coming weeks. I fell in love with this advertisement for sewing thread, with a hand on it. I think this would look awesome enlarged as a sign for a sewing or craft room. I’ve removed all the background from it here. Here it is before I removed the background. Here is the complete advertisement – isn’t {Read More}
Thanksgiving Printable Place Cards
November 16, 2014 by Leave a Comment
With Thanksgiving only a little over a week away, I created some pretty place cards that can be personalized with your guest’s names, and there is a place on the back for each person to write what they are thankful for. Even if you don’t have company coming over to share a Thanksgiving meal, these could also be used with your children, making them a nice keepsake to remember what they were thankful for, and to help them remember that {Read More}
Antique Hymn Printable Music – Brighten the Corner Where You Are
November 15, 2014 by 10 Comments
I love the title of this music page, from an antique hymn book in my collection. I love that it speaks to the fact that we don’t need to wait until we can do some “deed of greatness”, because we may never do anything if we do. Instead, we should use whatever gifts God gives us to “brighten the corner where you are”. {CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE AND PRINT MUSIC PAGE} I hope you brighten whatever corner God {Read More}
