Christmas Cards
I know, I know, we haven't even had Thanksgiving yet, but yes I am thinking about Christmas. A lot of my shopping is done, but I still have a big thing to do...
CHRISTMAS CARDS
I LOVE sending out Christmas Cards and receiving them in the mail. I feel like it is an important time of year for family and friends to share how this year went, and to catch up again. It is one of my favorite highlights to Christmas.

BUT THAT IS NOT ALL
As I was browsing around I found some great gift ideas for those on my list. Everyone has to have a calender for the new year, and what a better idea then to fill it with pictures of those they love. The best part...is a 12 month calender is UNDER $20!!! Click HERE to see all of their calenders!
Another great idea for someone on my list is a BEAUTIFUL canvass picture! Again their prices are amazing! Canvasses have a way of capturing the image instead of a frame :)! I LOVE THEM! Click HERE to see the canvasses.
Their is nothing greater then to receive a personal card in the mail or to share a beautiful personal gift with those we love this Christmas season! I hope you all have a wonderful time shopping around on Shutterfly! I know I had a great time and was able to cross a few more things off my list! :)

Thanksgiving Silhouettes
One of my FAVORITE things to do is to craft my sister and mom. However, I live MILES away from them. I only get to craft when I go home or when my mom comes to visit. Most days I end up crafting alone when my kids are sleeping...or watching tv...:) It can get pretty lonely.
To help fill the gap of living so far away I take every advantage to craft with friends! Ashley over at simple designing came over for a craft day and this is what we came up with. We are both in LOVE with silhouettes and knew we had to have some!
It was fun to craft with someone while letting the kids play! Thanks Ashley!

Twine Anyone?
One of the crafts I have wanting to do for a long time is using twine! Who doesn't love twine? It can change an ordinary candle into something terrific or a plain glass jar into being a little more decorative. With Thanksgiving coming up I thought it would be perfect!
I started with a couple plain candles....and starting wrapping. I was surprised at how easy it is! Here is how they turned out...
I just love how they turned out. Such a simple touch for a fall look.
I then had flowers that I want to put in a jar. However...I didn't want my green foam to show :)! So...why not wrap that with twine as well? Here is how it turned out...
I just love how it looks. A good start for the display on my shelf...not I just need to make some silhouettes of my kids...stay tuned!

The Shelf
Okay I know you have all been waiting for this and I am sorry about the delay!
So, John and I went down to a festival and I FINALLY found a shelf I LOVED! Anyone else have that problem...shelves being too country for their more modern house? I have a HUGE problem with that! I have nothing against country shelves, don't get me wrong, they just don't fit in my house.
Well, so I saw the shelf and got SO excited UNTIL I saw the price tag at $165....talk about disappointment! I thought my search was over, but I was SO not going to pay that...so I opted to do one myself! I knew it was the only way to get what I wanted!
So for a total of $26 I now have this: (It is still missing the knobs at the bottom...but I can't find what I want...so I was to impatient to wait any longer!)
So you just LOVE the bead board???? That I think it what I loved most about the shelf I saw! Lucky for me I will no longer loose any sleep over a shelf! I LOVE IT!

A Before and After
So, I know big surprise this is not a Halloween project. Sorry to disappoint however, this was a project that NEEDED to be done!
...So...remember this picture last year of my wall with "Family" on it?
I loved the arranged photos, but I HATED the black frames. They were to harsh to the eye and I felt like every time I looked at the wall I saw black instead of cute pictures. I decided it was finally time to change when my friend showed me a trick she used. Canvas pictures are a big thing right now...and I love them...but I don't love....the price! Call me cheapo...cause I am...but I couldn't do it. So...I decided to use foam board instead. I sprayed photo adhesive and stuck the pictures on the boards. I cut the board to size using my rotary cutter, mat and ruler. It was so easy! I used 1 1/2 pieces of foam board at $1.99 each. The new pictures...$11. Now that my friends is more in my budget:)!

I feel like it is not as harsh and it doesn't stop the wall...if you know what I mean!...The picture in the middle was taken by my amazing brother in law. He is an amazing photographer! Check out his website here. If you live in the Utah area look him up! Anyway I love my new wall and love that it is us. Nothing is posed it is all....REAL...this is my life...and I love it!

Halloween Toparies
What could be cuter then Halloween topiaries? Crafty Sisters had this cute idea and I could not pass it up. All these wonderful ladies have helped inspire me and get me out of the slump I have been in. My mom and I had so much fun making these together! They took about 50 glue sticks, a whole tub of gum drops, jelly bellies, Reese's Pieces, cute ribbon, containers to put them in, spider web, spiders and foam to stick them in. It was a lot, but I could be more pleased. They are all placed on my piano which I just love!
