A green Christmas...

...in more ways than one.

My paperwhites are going crazy and are just about to topple over, but wowee~ they smell divine!!



Christmas card display solution on the dining room door using leftover upholstery binding fabric.
We've been crafting almost every night after work/school, using only things we already have at home. Christmas music sheet angel wings,
...and paper snowflakes to place on packages and wine bottle gifts.

Using cardboard from paper towel rolls. Adorned with some glitter, a pearl or rhinestone and fabric scrap or twine to hang.
Fancy, right? ha...


Anything to keep us busy while we count down the days! ☺ We're getting antsy over here.
We created silhouette gift tags using a picture of my daughter and some good old fashioned tracing and copying. I uploaded the silhouette image in picnik and added the textured background with the snowflake border, then printed on cardstock paper.



This was by far the most fun {and messy} project ~ will share details soon.


Ho, ho, ho!

HI Tricia~ Thanks for some great ideas. Is the last one a "snow globe"???? I just saw something similar at Anthropologie today!! Yours is better:))))
Hope you are well.

If you can find creative outlets for children (and adults who are still children at heart!)as you count down the days to Christmas it's a great way to fill the time while adding to the excitement. Love your projects!

I just had to pin this. I love your little paper roll stars. I've seen them made before, but never thought to use them on gifts. Also love your christmas card holder.

Tie a ribbon loosely around your paperwhites' stems, and they'll hold each other up!

Your paper snow flake and wrapping is soooo pretty. I just made a jeweled Christmas tree with junk jewelry and some special but inexpensive charms.
