Christmas trimmings

I found the cutest decorations at The Quilted Bear! I added it to the few things I bought last year at Joann's and Tai Pan... and voilá! My mantle is decorated for Christmas!

I found these two boxes on clearance and covered the top one in Christmas paper and painted the lid. It didn't look very cute when I bought it.





The candy cane, snowmen, and wood tree are all from The Quilted Bear. I always find cute stuff when I shop there!

...days 'til Christmas!

I made the cutest countdown blocks and it was so easy! I bought the blocks at The Wood Connection for only $5.95, painted them red and glued designer paper to each side.
Only 14 more days...

Holiday tags

I made these holiday tags for my card swap at work. I covered a coaster with paper and ribbon to resemble a present and stamped "to" and "from" at the top!

Thanksgiving decor

Here's my Thanksgiving/fall mantel!



And, my love affair with The Wood Connection continues... Here is my gobble block I made!



I love fall colors!

A spooktacular Halloween!

I love decorating my mantle during the holidays and Halloween is one of my favorites!



My mom, my sister and I made these cute SPOOKY letters! I went to The Wood Connection for the first time and couldn't believe I had never been there! We painted the letters black then decorated them with glitter and fun Halloween paper.

Girls' Night

My cute friends from the ward came over for a card making night! These two cards come from a card kit by MemoryWorks... it was so fun and easy!

Jackson's birthday card

I made this card for my nephew's first birthday! I used Stampin' Up! stamps and paper from MemoryWorks.
