Holiday madness.

I haven't posted in a bit, I've been keeping busy. I will be posting from my phone during the holidays, if at all. You will most likely get mash up posts like this! Hopefully they won't be too horrible. So I've been so busy, between having last minute thanksgiving at my house, having another thanksgiving with the Nielson's (both were fabulous), helping Garrett with his sewing for school, trying to shop, craft/decorate for Christmas. You get it, I'm sure everyone else is feeling the same. Here are some mash up pics!
Made a new tradition with "our book of thanks" we will be writing in it every year. Reading them can bring on some tears, but good ones. There is my phone case I stitched, but kinda gave up on.


Rolled paper Christmas tree, a thing that didn't turn out so well, my wine bottles with battery powered light & my handsome dog

My awesome REAL garland (bought at SAMs club), it smells delightful. The amazing Mr. Nielson hung it for me.
Our Christmas tree, we had a family night & decorated it together (Mystro helped a ton). Then a couple of door decorations I made. :)

Tomorrow I'm going to a book signing! I'm pretty excited, the Author is Christopher Paolini - he wrote the "Inheritance Cycle" the Eragon books. They are sooo good, trust me people, don't trust that dreadful movie.
Here is my cute book bag I made for the event. The quote is from Jeod in the first book. :) I'm excited, wish me luck!

A fun birthday gift!

Covered a box in paper, put that shredded paper stuff inside. Decorated front " 40 sucks, have a jolly birthday" Then it has 40 suckers & some jolly ranchers. :)

Christmas frame for your door.

Thrift store frame painted.

You can't see it on top but there is a bunch of painted snow. To make snow mix equal parts Elmer's glue & white shaving cream. I painted over it with glitter when it was dry. I bought all the ornaments at the dollar store & hung with ribbon. It was a very cheap craft. ENJOY!
