Hello my sweet and lovely friends! Can you believe Christmas is just around the corner??? I swear it sneaks up on me every year. Now it’s the mad rush to decorate, craft holiday goodies, Christmas shop,wrap, mail Christmas cards, bake, ooooh my it just doesn’t end! LOL! Well, the day after Thanksgiving I decided to get busy with my decorating. I decorate most of my house so there is a lot of work to be done. My dining room is ALWAYS my favorite room, and being it’s my work/craft room I had to HAUL all my supplies, table, etc into my bedroom. EEK! Talk about cramped! Here’s what it looks like. Nice and cozy, huh?
This is the only time it will stay nice and neat. hee! hee!
I MUST show off some super sweet fabulous gifts I have just received. Miss Jessi Nagy sent me this OVER THE TOP package of goodies! I had asked her awhile back to please make me one of her froofy Silver Bella picture frames, and when I opened the package I got ALOT more than a frame. ๐ A PINK sequin santa hat,HELLO KITTY candy canes. LOOOVE!!! Celestial Seasonings sugar cookie tea, two pairs of warm fuzzy socks, (perfect colors!),Pink deck of cards, girlie animal print pencils,pink tic tacs, a handful of Smarties, and a SWEET Christmas card that read’s "For my Sister". We kinda laugh about it, because everyone said we looked like sisters at Silver Bella.
I looooove this frame! She did a GREAT job!
I signed up for the Pink Ornament Christmas swap, and one of my swap partners is the lovely & talented Jenelle of Sleepy Hollow Craft Company . LOOKIE here!!!! She made this beautiful Christmas tussie mussie, and the star say’s "Merry Pinkmas". How cute is that?? She filled it with all sorts of pretties. The pink bottle brush star will look PERFECT on my sugar plum tree! Thank you Jenelle! ๐
This is the ornament I made for the swap. I hope they like!!!!
Being it’s the holidays and winter is upon us, I just have to SHOW you the UPER CUTE holiday pj’s I purchased from Target called "Snow Bunny". Aren’t they beyond precious???
Look how adorable this little furry fella is!
Since I am on the topic of bunnies. I’d like to share my newest bunny box creation. Instead of my traditonal shabby colors, I wanted to make a vintage red and green bunny box. He is giving FREE SLEIGH RIDES! For this piece I used vintage plastic snowman and reindeer, gumdrops, candy canes, and bottle brush trees. I think it turned out sooo darling. My Mom is begging me to give it to her. ๐ I’s now available in my Etsy shop.
Look how cute he looks hanging out with the Santa’s!
Now to announce the WINNER of my 1st blog GIVEAWAY!!!!!
Hubby did the drawing. ๐
THE WINNER IS………….
