Being the mom
Today I give up..........it is time to go to bed and wait for a new sunrise, things are always better in the morning...right? B-
Oh the smell of pine...
Adding some fresh spriggs of my pine tree out back to a fake Garland gives you a fresh Garland look without the hefty price!
And it smells Fabulous!!!

Bring the outside in!
I had these branches in my back yard just sitting waiting to go to the dump. So I pulled em out and painted them white! Aren't they fabulous!! I love them! And best of all, they were free!!! I lit them up above my entertainment center and hung turquoise and white ornaments from them! I found the giant snowflakes at the dollar store (they have fantastic Christmas decor) and the frosted pinecones at Walmart! I put the white ornament vinyl on a silver plate and there you have it! Hope you like it!

| Me and carpenter smoothy made these snowflakes out of book pages- I thought he would be done in like five....but oooo no he was the master snowflaker! We hooked them together and made a garland. |
 |
| I grouped things together with color, so everything on top of my piano is white and silvery- Winter wonderland...ish! I had this frame and painted it silver to add height. Go through your cupboards you havn't been into for awhile and shop for new ways to use your....junk... :) |
 |
| Added glitter to the blades! |
More Christmas!
 |
| I have had these milk jars forever and didn't know what to do with them, in one of my four AM thinking sessions it hit me! I went to a Christmas store and told them how many bulbs I needed to fit my jars- they hooked me up with the wire and plugs. My ma is doing vinyl to say "Merry Christmas" across them. This could work with tea cups or jars too... |
 |
| I have no idea what this thing is- I got it at a junk yard because I liked the shape. I spray painted it cream and hung it on my back door to hold my christmas cards. I hope I get some?! If you know me maybe you should send me one so I feel like I have friends and have something to hang in these! :) |
 |
| CAKE PLATTERS are sucha great investement, I use them for everything! |
 |
| Silent Night....Holy....crap I love how this turned out! I just sorted all my ornaments into colors and got all my jars I've collected over the years and put them in. I used my mirror for the base again, all the singled out colors look awsome. |
 |
| Go shopping in your house! Look through dishes and see if there is a fun way to display them. Even ornaments in a bowl are so perty, for your table or coffee table. I have to try dfferent ornaments in different things lots of times before I find what I love- so don't give up! |

Santa Baby! I found these two cuties at a thrift store. I think it will be my new christmas addiction. (but only the ones with cute faces cuz there are some scary santas out there!) |
yay!
Just got done painting my bathroom! There is something so satisfying about repainting a room! I think the grey really makes the polka dots stand out more, love it!
