From our house

May the Angels Sing

Hoping your Christmas

was

Merry & Bright

Christmas Ornament French Friday Giveaway Winner

Isn't this time of year wonderful?

🎄

I get the biggest kick

out of seeing

cars driving by

with their Christmas tree 

tied up on top!

I have been one busy bee....

December doesn't stop me from creating away! 

 Hand painting in a

"Patina Stone" 

has

become 

my 

obsession

Keeps me on the look out

for

pieces to paint

🎄

 I created these upcycled

scrap wood blocks

for our

Christmas fireplace mantel

This has been a very creative year for me
and
I cannot wait to see what the new year brings

🎁🎁🎁

Now, about creating your own wrapping paper.....

I wrap a lot of small packages

so

this is wrapping paper

for small packages

I start out with images I've downloaded or scanned.

They can be scans or purchased images.

I print on 8.5 x 11 copy paper.

I bought these on Etsy

here

Some images I've altered

in

Windows Paint

⚜

Others are simply scanned & printed

using my printer / copier

While wrapping, you will notice

copy paper is a bit more thick

than normal wrapping paper.

But that's okay, it works!

⚜

I hope you've enjoyed today's post

and

thanks for stopping in

⚜

I'm still creating ornaments

for my Etsy shop

My shop will be open until December 12th.

We've started our

Christmas decorating

and

I will be sharing pictures

in my next post

 Happy December to you!

Share a little love today!

Collected in Harmony

Sometimes there are no words

to

a peaceful surrounding

Keeping in a neutral theme

throughout my home

Void of color

does not mean

void of emotion

Pure

&

Soulful

comes to my mind

Try to compliment

your surroundings

worn

timeless

pieces

collected in harmony

with

one another

Creating from Your Heart & Soul

Rainy days

&

quiet moments

Creating Treasures

&

Creating a Simpler Home Decor 

I split my precious time

between both passions

I hope you find some time

to create from your heart & soul

Much more coming in my next post!

Blessings to all!

A Treasure Finding Summer

 Oh, it was a great treasure finding summer

I went junkin' and hunting 

every chance I could 

from thrift stores to antique malls

the

gettin' was good

I cleaned up my studio 

for the annual blog party

"Where Bloggers Create"

but

that didn't stop me from looking for furniture!

I was simply tired of uncomfortable

and

mismatched furniture

because 

it was what I had at the moment!

I'm in constant motion

to style any spot 

in our home 

so if you don't recognize my studio

in the near future...

I've simply found

 that "next thing" 

I've been dreaming of

the one piece that will never leave my studio

my dress form from Paris

***

While in the studio....

 I even found time to create this summer

a sharing of vintage whites

 I know summer isn't quite over yet

but

it's that time of year

when cooler weather is near

I hope you've enjoyed my summer re-cap!

Off to another adventure!
