**Don't forget to enter my giveaway here.** Just sharing some small Christmas projects I slipped in over the long weekend. Try as I might, I just couldn't get too many great shots of these Christmas houses I got from Hobby Lobby last month. I decided to paint them black since I already did some smaller ones white and silver. Plus, I'll get to use them next year for Halloween too! I gave each a couple...
A Giveaway That Makes Scents

**This giveaway is now closed** Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Now that I've recovered from stuffing myself at my Mom's, it's time for a little fun.

And oh boy, do they smell a-ma-zing! Made of natural fibers sourced from sustainable resources and infused with pure fragrance,...

I've been wanting to make Scrabble ornaments for our Xmas tree since last year. You've probably seen them all over Pinterest and in the blogosphere, so nothing really new here. I was just happy that I had everything I needed to make a few of them for this year. I used an old ruler for mine, but I've seen crafters use everything from clothes pins to Jenga pieces (Susan at Homeroad!). I simply picked out...
White Wednesday

An upcycled violin ornament. My 9 year old plays the viola and he picked this up at a garage sale over the summer. I painted it white, added some glass glitter and a hand-stamped noel tag. Waiting to be added to our Christmas tree. Happy White Wednesday! Jeanine ...
