Hello friends! I hope you’re enjoying your week so far.
I think it’s fair to say the blog world has moved into
Christmas mode, and it’s no different at our house.
As I prepare our home to welcome the holidays, there is no doubt
I will be resorting to handmade as having to purchase
new items every year to change your decor can be very pricey.

I will be resorting to handmade as having to purchase

One of the easiest ways to change your decor without having
to spend too much is displaying beautifully wrapped presents under
your tree, or setting them in various places as part of vignettes.

I love these but I’m confused. If you use the decorative paper, why do you need the heavy card stock? I know the directions say to cut the shapes out of the heavy card stock, but the pics show the decorative paper. Can you clarify for this confused lady??

There are lots of DIY ideas which you could use
on those colorless cabinets in your kitchen to bring
back that sparkle. Four Dinner Plates one of each pattern: Leaves, Letters, Links and Circuit.
Many units are designed with that in mind,
but they can still be used free-standing.
