Our Home At Christmas

I hope everyone is enjoying their day and "Happy the Mayan's Were Wrong Day," haha!

I thought I'd share what our home looks like for Christmas..I am a LITTLE obsessed with the "sweets" theme and love all the fake cookie,candy,cake decor. 

This is my kitchen tree, Over the years I have added to it and I'm totally in love with it this year! I actually made all the ornaments for this tree myself, except for the candy garland, a couple store bought ornies and the little fruit tarts. 

What is made by me is: ribbon candy, sugar cookies, spritz cookie, some of the little candies, lolli pops, hot chocolate, cupcakes and mini cakes. Crazy, I know, but it makes me happy :0) I actually made some ornaments to sell also but never got the chance to put them up on etsy, so I'm hoping to make some more and sell next year!



Here are some pictures of our dining room, where the sweet theme continues.
I actually made all the fake sugar cookies for this wreath this year and had a blast!


I collect ceramic cakes and pies, so they are perfect to display with my Christmas obsession, hehe.


This is a faux gingerbread house I made a few years ago, and I'm looking forward to making some more soon.

Our living room

We are crazy and buy a huge tree to then place on top of a dining table!
It was this way last year too, but it keeps little hands away from ornaments, and fills up the corner nicely also!

My favorite spot on the tree:

and lastly, here's a picture of the 2 miracles in my life, I thank the Lord for them everyday and can't believe they are truly here. For years we imagined and dreamed about them and now here they are to celebrate Christmas with us! :0)

From our family to yours, have a very Merry Christmas!!

Our Front Door

After the holidays our front entry became naked and boring once again..

 I finally got around to sprucing it up a little... 
I hung the wreath I just posted about, added a mat, and then flanked the door
with some plants that not even I can kill! LOL



Just a few little changes to help welcome spring in :0)
It's made it  a lot more welcoming to come home to also!

Our next project is the laundry room..we are in the process of building the cabinetry now,
so soon I will get to share that with you.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

Spring Wreath

I've had this photo of a wreath I loved in my files for a long time. 
I finally got around to making my own version! 

This was my inspiration photo.
I can't remember where I saw it, I save so many pics in my files
that I just can't remember!


It's so perfect for springtime and it's been feeling a lot like spring around here!

So, to get started I made some little eggs out of my favorite clay:

I let them air dry and then painted them with acrylic paints. 
I bought a floral stem and  nest at the craft store and just added some feathers to the nest.

Glued my nest in place, stuck the flowers all around and; Voila!
Here's my version of the wreath:


I really like the way it came out, and the little eggs are my favorite part!
