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…

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.

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…
