Christmas Countdowns

Can you believe its only SEVEN DAYS until Christmas? I can- because I’m surrounded with Christmas Countdowns. I might have gone a little over board this season. Usually I create one, maybe two renditions of a countdown for a holiday. I do that because different people like different things and well, I like making them.Read more

The smell of warm lemon-butter cookies, or pumpkin bread throughout the house is a dear one to me. The Holiday season feels to full of joy and love when I and the people around me pour our love into food. Its tangible, its giftable, and its delicious. Each year I try my best to make aRead more

Thanksgiving Favor/Placecard

I really enjoy things that do double duty. Lamp that organizes? Neat. Spatula that also plays music? Awesome. Thanksgiving Favor Box that can be used as a place card? Super cool! This box is very simple to put together. It requires just a smidge of glue, and the bottom folds to hold itself together. OnRead more

Its getting that time again! Thanksgiving is right around the corner. And since we moved into a house with a fireplace mantel, one of my favorite elements to holiday decorating is banners.

I really adore the idea of handing out special treats to every trick-or-treater this year. I’ve been wracking my brain tring to think of something that would make them smile.
