A Freebie Friday

I love freebies and if you head on over here you can get free downloads and instructions on how to make this banner and cheery Xmas picture.

These ideas are courtesy of Eighteen 25. Three very crafty girls who also share a tutorial on how to make those glitter trees.

Merry Christmas to All

Wishing you a wonderful holiday everyone. Talk to you you next week.

Starting Holiday Traditions

1. The Nutcracker

She loved it and really got into it. I hope to next year take her to see it live. I don't think this year she can hang for too long to see the real thing.

2. Build a Gingerbread House

It was my first time and it was fun after the house was put together. Surprisingly, putting it together was harder than I thought.

3. Disneyland at night in December

The lights truly make it beautiful. At 5:30 the lights go on and illuminate Sleeping Beauty's Castle and It's a Small World.

Cuddle with my Nuddle

Move over Snuggie now there is something cuddlier. The Nuddle blanket is here and it looks luxerious, soft and so cozy. I love that it has foot pockets for my always cold feet. This one is definitely going on my Xmas wish list.

how sweet that it comes in kids sizes too.

Greeting Card Display

Love these creative and easy ways to display those holiday cards. We get so many cards every year and my favorite cards are the family photo ones. These have to be displayed. I used to have a cute little wire tree but that has not been large enough to hold all of the cards. My plan is to create one of these.
