My First Xmas Project of the Season

October 28, 2016 / BY Okio B Designs
I know Monday is Halloween, but who isn't already thinking about Christmas projects?  I know I am. I'm battling my first cold of the season, so I had some down time this week to do some crafting. I used an old spaghetti tin to make this pretty.  First I added some sheet music as my background.  Then I picked the pretty French image (from the Graphics Fairy) and glued that on the sheet music.

Once the cooler weather starts, I love to curl up on the couch under a blanket with a good book.  This week I had two great books to read. It's not secret that I am a HUGE fan of Ikea.  I love trolling Pinterest for IKEA hacks (seriously, don't you too?!).  I Modify IKEA by Elyse Major and Charlotte Rivers offers a ton of ideas that I'd never seen before in easy to follow DIY...

Whipped up these cute Halloween tags over the weekend. I couldn't stop at just the tags, so I made some stickers too. Both sets can be found in my Etsy. Jeanine ...
