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}
Thankful for You!
November 26, 2014 by 6 Comments
My in-laws have arrived, so I’m taking this time to enjoy spending time with my family for Thanksgiving, but I wanted to take a moment to say how thankful I am for all of you. I appreciate every comment you leave, and I appreciate those who don’t visit, but don’t comment as well. It means so much to me that you take time out of your day to see what I’m working on, and for that – thank you all! Wishing {Read More}
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}

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}

Nativity Silhouette Candle Holder – 12 Days of Christmas {day 3}
November 22, 2014 by 11 Comments
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}
Cake Pan Christmas Chalkboard – 12 Days of Christmas {day 2}

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}
Thanksgiving Printable Place Cards

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}
