I started this post last year, because that is when I made these trees. And yet I never got it posted. Call me a procrastinator, but hey, at least I’m getting it to you now! Last year, I used them with my buffalo check display board, but this year, I created a little white and…
Ten Days of Christmas Inspiration Blogger Series: Day 2 – Lighted Oh Holy Night Sign
Hey everyone bouncing over here from Hello Happy Place! If you haven’t yet, be sure to check out Terra’s gingerbread and copper themed tablescape. I love her simple gingerbread house!

Scrap Wood Angel
I’ve been enjoying making some practically free-for-me Christmas decor this year. Yesterday I shared with you my scrap wood Christmas trees. Today, I’m showing you how I made an angel out of leftover pieces in my stash. I began with a 1×8 at about 20 inches long. I then sketched out a super long skinny…
Scrap Wood Christmas Trees
Here’s a super-cheap project that you can customize to your liking. And depending on how you finish them, you could leave them up all winter. You can make them in all sizes, tall and lean, short and fat… make a whole little winter forest! Grab a piece of scrap wood and cut to the height you…
Easy Painted Wooden Sign – Thankful
A few years ago, I used the old pencil eraser painting technique to make artwork for my daughers’ rooms with their names in script. They were delicate and pretty, and fun to do! I also liked the dimension the paint gets when it’s simply tapped on. It gives it a lacey feel. So I thought…

If you’re an avid reader of my blog (and c’mon… who isn’t?), you’re anxiously awaiting my Valentine’s Day felt flower wreath. Am I right? So without further ado… It will probably bring back fond memories of my gray winter wreath that I shared yesterday. That shouldn’t be surprising… the flowers are all the same 😉…
Punched Joy Lanterns
If there’s one thing that can make a house feel cozy at Christmas, it’s soft, glowing light. Whether it be from the tree or candles or any other lights you use to decorate, it doesn’t feel like Christmas until the house is aglow. I saw some adorable vases that spelled “Joy” and were adorned with…
Quilted Stockings
For several years, we used cheap felt stockings for Christmas. As the kids were born, I wanted to buy nice ones for them, but I just never really found any I liked too much, so I resorted to the felt ones in the mean time. I grew up with Crocheted stockings in red, green, and…
Buffalo Check Christmas Board
I came across this awesome bathroom from That’s My Letter on Pinterest one day and drooled a bit over the plaid wallpaper. And then my jaw dropped when I’m realized it wasn’t wallpaper at all but paint! I was eager to try it, but I didn’t have any rooms that could serve as guinea pigs. So…
