I don't know about you, but I am always looking for quick and easy Christmas gifts. Sometimes I need gifts that be produced in large quantities in not much time. You know, like for kids' classrooms, church youth groups, neighbors, co-workers, etc. A couple of years ago I found a really cute Christmas gift idea [...]
It may have taken me 62 tries and 23 trips to the store (give or take a few), but I finally have my Christmas mantel decorated. And the sun finally peeked its head out so I could snap a few shots. My first Christmas miracle of the season. I went with traditional red and green, [...]

When we hung the decorations Thanksgiving weekend, I couldn't find the wreath for our front door. I kept thinking, "I've got to have Wes [...]
Current giveaway: A box full of crafting supplies from Elmers! I shared this Christmas stocking goodie bag at Sumo's Sweet Stuff last week, but in case you missed it, I'm sharing it here as well. I used my goodie bags as part of our Christmas Stocking Advent Calendar. One of the days I put a [...]
