Condensed Commentary On My Life

I was at the car wash and reached down to the passengers seat to tidy up a bit. What I found were 3 books that were a perfect and hilarious commentary on my life these days:

The Holy Bible,
1000 Gifts by Ann,
A recipe printed off the Internet, and
Study guide for Handgun Safety Certification

I crack me up.

It’s Christmastime!

How have we not talked about this yet?!  Oh right, I’ve been busy learning how to organize a Congressional campaign… sorry ‘bout that.

But it’s Christmastime!!!  My favorite holiday, hands down.  I love the songs, I love the colors, I love the lights, I love the foods, the movies, the presents, the parties…it’s the best!

So of course I’ve been tagging and pinning all sorts of little holiday projects and foods and whatever-have-you and of course I’m going to share them with you:

.

Santa gets his cookies and milk, but what do the elves get? Duh, mini decorated “doughnuts” made from Cheerios!

.

I wish I had this as a print or canvas and then I could bring it out every winter. It’s just lovely.

.

Coffee Filter Snowflakes, imagine a whole string of them hanging over mantle or across a high ceiling or staircase. Cheap and cheerful.

.

This is soooo a project my mother would have done. Take inexpensive dollar store animals, cover them in glitter and tada! You have holiday woodland creatures! This would be a great project for kiddos.

.

I don’t have time this year, but some day I want to do this. Maybe next year Bree & I can do with the Silhouette so we won’t have to do as much cutting. I think I would do O Holy Night or Silent Night.

Another easy, cheap and cute decor idea.

.

I love this holiday swatch. I could do so many things with those colors.

.

Another easy ornament project either for yourself or kiddos.

Well, that’s it for tonight, but I’m sure there will be more to come!
