My Spring Wreath...

So around blogland I saw this and thought OH MY! This is my version and I must say I love this! I will probably keep it up all summer. The hanging part was a little tricky but I figured it out and cut and sewed the hole so the hanger could go right in the middle if that makes sense! I love this fabric too so fun! I did fix it so it wasn't lopsided..ha...but to lazy to retake pics:)

Scrapbook Wood Letters...!

I have had these letters for awhile now and they were like a shabby chic white color, and since my decor has changed since then I decided to revamp them with scrapbook paper and ribbon..soo cute!

HAHA.....don't look too close or you'll see dust...just keepin it real people!

I really like how they turned out! I still have some Fall'ish things I want to do...like those really super cute fabric pumpkins...!

Some HaLLoWeeN flair.....!

If you look at my last halloween post my decorating is pretty much the same with some changes, so I don't want to bore you with that, but did find some cute stuff.....eventually I want to totally deck out my ent. center all Halloween, but because its soo big, it will prob. take me a few years..lol....but can I just say how eas..IER it would of been to wait until this year to buy all the glittered skulls and stuff.....last year I had to glitter my own.....I love Walmart's glittered skull bodies..I plan on getting some of those!!

All about....SkIrTs..!

Finally got these done! That way I can hide my totes underneath the tables and no one sees them..! I sewed velcro pieces onto the skirts to be able to take the skirts off if I need to...




My craft table in my pantry..This is my sewing table in my room...

Something FUN..!!

I saw these cool feathers over at Hobby Lobby a while back in the colors I am doing my "craft" side of the pantry...remember that? I am almost done with it, just some painting to do and some cute labeling...but had some time on my hands so I decided to make pens...I think they are super sass-ey!

So they match these fabric covered cork board squares I put up....FUN!!

Here is the "food" side of the pantry....thats been done a while now...it's alot of room more than what this pic shows and I LOVE IT!!


This has been the longest project I have ever worked on...besides a nursery...lol! I think it's because nobody sees it....but I will hopefully be done before summer...I know but that gives me awhile..heehee! and time AND money....y'know I am on a budget..lol!

and the stockings were hung....

These are the kids stockings, actually they have been up all month...hoping that I would find the time to make Bella's.....haven't yet. But over at tipjunkie she has some tutorials that I am going to try to do. Luckily I bought a couple tablecloths that match all my christmas decor and tree a few years back in case I needed the fabric for something..gosh I'm so glad that I am so Smart...I think I'm funny!

Santa, help I need a new camera.....(canon..hinthint!)

Nester's Garland show and tell....

So I thought I would join in on the nester's fun little "show off your garland" party....I am so new at this and usually think everyone's stuff is better than mine, but I think it's great to see how so many people do things differently....so here is mine...I don't have a fireplace mantel so mine is above my t.v. on the entertainment center, and I think it looks soo pretty...again the pics do not do it justice...! I used fabric that was a black and white damask, red and black tulle, and lots of different picks of course...

I could not get a good picture with the lights shinin through...!

I am SO an amateur at this....please forgive me folks!

Some More Christmas Decor....!

Thought I'd share some more of my decorating....I do know that I can get a little extreme when it comes to this thing called decorating...but hey it's what I can and like to do...and it's SO FUN!! Not to mention that I love all the stuff I see in BH&G, or Pottery Barn or even Ethan Allen...but who can afford to actually buy that stuff...NOT ME..so when I see something that is so super cute but the price tag is like something crazy, my mind starts to turn and I figure it out on my own....that is the FUN part about it....so people no I DO NOT have alot of money to just splurge, our family is on a budget so I have to glitter and glam what I have! You need to pull out all of that "old" stuff, or check out the DI or Goodwill, you won't believe what people give away...SERIOUSLY!! Those wreaths hanging up I got at Savers for 10 cents a piece and I glittered one and sprayed glued the other and put green moss all over it!(Thanks Bath and Body for the idea..giddy giddy!) If you got some picks that are just plain and ugly..get that glitter out and it will be shiny new!! One of my FAVORITE blogs is the nester...(nestingplacenc.blogspot.com) she is great at hot gluing any and everything...check her out for some ideas at least I would NEVER think of.....like a fur wreath.....seriously who would of thought..!

Saw this, wreaths hanging from the ceiling in the Bath and Body Works store....they are my favorite for inspiration...every year I check out what they do....amazing!


Front door basket of glittered pinecones...okay at Target you can get a bag for 10 bucks....HECK NO go to your park and have the kids do a race to pick up the most and then do a treat..that's what I did...!!

Welcome to my home...saw this idea on an Ethan Allen cover a few years back...LOVE IT!!

Oh Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree..........

So here is the family tree....finished with the silhouette ornaments, really they are just mod podged paper...until I find the frames..I glittered the poinsettas and some ornaments..I put a ton of damask ribbon and fabric and tied into knots all over the tree just to fill in those bare spots and to match my garlands..(I will post those soon). I also found some ornaments at Hobby Lobby that are black and red with damask...LOVE that!! Who said you couldn't have a black christmas tree?? I absolutely love these colors and now I see black damask everywhere. A couple of years ago you couldn't, so I get extremely thrilled when I see a store have it!! Uh yeah....gotta have matching presents ...these are just the family presents, santa's won't be "themed"...geesh gotta save that paper for upcoming christmases...I guess you can say I have a "matching" problem...heehee!

Just a great tip, you know how tree skirts are, well...just too small now a days...so I suggest what I did...a matching tablecloth instead! Use a round one and then top it with the treeskirt or use the tree skirt on a table or just be creative with it! That way you can actually see it under the tree when you have a couple of those presents there.

So I finished the girl's tree skirt and it came out really cute....I did mess up on one side darn it but you can't tell to the "un"sewer eyes...heehee! Little do the girls know Santa is re doing thier room in a fun funky spunky new do...can ya guess the theme...I have been busy with these colors let me tell ya...they will be so excited...can't wait! The painting will have to wait until after christmas...obviously but they can help me with that..!

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas....!

So I am pretty much done with all my decorating, Ray put the lights on outside and he did a great job!..This is what I have pics of so far and I will post some more tomorrow or so..I have been meaning to post about my pantry since it's been done but have been too busy!


Here's my new light above my kitchen table...see the glittered balls? CuTe!
Loving my table top decor, those tags I made years ago for an Enrichment dinner and decided to use them again...they have glitter on them..(giddy giddy!)

Can you see I was playing around with it, the christmas ball I decided looked better on the light instead and had to glitter my pinecones...funny! Stay tuned for my tree..I have to finish my sillhouette ornaments and adding (hopefully!) a ruffle trim to my tree skirt!

Glitter Time...!

It's amazing with this little bottle what you can do....I was finding everything and anything to glitter....!
Pinecones!

dollar store ornaments...

My "peace" wooden sign that was just silver..

I got these candle holders at the dollar store...

they were this ugly color...SERIOUSLY!!

I also glittered some poinsettas for my tree and a wreath that I got..!
