While digging through a stack of papers last night, I came across this antique Christmas graphic from an early 1900’s magazine that I’ve never shared before. I’ve got paper stacks a mile high, so it’s lucky I stumbled upon this one before Christmas came and went. I especially love the snow covered font for the lettering. {CLICK ON IMAGES TO VIEW FULL SIZE} I removed the advertising text in the image below, so it can be used as a gift {Read More}

December 12, 2014 by 9 Comments
I think I should have planned on doing 25 days, instead of 12 Days of Christmas, because more Christmas ideas keep popping into my head. You can never have too much Christmas though, can you? I have a rustic kind of gardening display above my kitchen window (see more here), that has several stacks of clay pots on it. One day those pots caught my eye, and I still had the red paint and glitter out from making the Glittered Letter {Read More}

Last night, I went to a women’s event with my friend at her church. Women from the church act as table hostesses, and they each decorate their table very festively for Christmas. The guests enjoy a meal, a short devotional, and some special Christmas music from the church musicians and singers. At the end of the evening, the final song they sang was, “O Come, All Ye Faithful”. It was a lovely rendition of the song, with parts of it {Read More}

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}
