Making ornaments ...
The wonder and excitement...
Making button trees for family ...


trees in the kids bedrooms ...



Holiday decor everywhere ...


my spoon tree in the kitchen window ...

I love the candy countdown...Your spoon tree is so cute and I am glad that you were able to get a gift early :o)

How did you make the silver ball ornaments? And how did you make the star ornaments look so good. I have made a bunch for our tree, but they are much more "rustic" looking than yours. I would love to see a picture of your entire tree.

Button Trees??? How absolutely adorable! I want to make one...but..I...will...not. At least, not this month! All of your ideas are amazing. I just love reading your posts.
I am so happy that you have power! Donna gave me my present tonight. It is absolutely PERFECT! I almost started crying. Corey just looked at us like we were crazy (nothing new there!). I'll post pics of it soon!
