I love finger less gloves. I think they are cute and stylish. I was perusing my local thrift store when I found some old sweaters that would be perfect for my project. I found this sweater vest for $3.

Rainbow Snow
I was thinking a few weeks ago with our first snow, it would be fun to have colored snow. So Little Miss and I headed out to the store for spray bottles. We came home and mixed each one with a few drops of food coloring and we were ready to go.
So Little Miss and I went out and made ourselves a Rainbow.
My kids had a blast with the colors. They can't wait for it to snow again! Next time we will make a Snowman with my snowman kit.

Bloggers Night {Swagger}
For Bloggers night this month we were able to meet Chantel, the owner of Swagger. Swagger is a local clothing boutique that also has an online store. We had a blast trying on clothes, our own personal fashion show. She has lots of adorable clothes and jewelry to choose from. I love the unique style she sells and knowing that not everyone will be wearing the same thing.
Our Idaho Bloggers Guild nights prove to be fun and relaxing nights. I love these gals and look forward to my evenings with them. Thanks Ladies and Thank you Swagger for letting us shop the night away!
Meet the ladies of the Idaho Bloggers Guild!

Fall Mantel
I know I am a little late getting this post up. My Mantel has been falling behind. So many things to make and do for the holidays. Here is my simple Fall Mantel this year.
I used my Thankful trees from last year. My Free Fall Printable. A cute set of pilgrims and 2 stacked wicker pumpkins. I kept it simple and easy this year. I can't believe it is already time to decorate for Christmas. This fall has gone by way to fast.

Lighted Shadow Box Nativity
Here is what you need.
12x12 Shadow Box
black spray paint
string of battery operated lights (10-20 lights)
Glue dots
Etched Glass Vinyl ( I buy mine at Expressions Vinyl)
Vinyl Cutter
I started by picking my image in my Silhouette Designer. I decided on this Nativity scene. I sized it to fit my frame. I cut my etched glass vinyl according to my Silhouette guidelines.
After cutting I used my transfer tape and cover the whole image. I wanted to have my glass with the negative space frosted. I found this to be the easiest way to use the negative space with the least amount of application problems, Peel your vinyl and tape from the backing.
Apply your vinyl to your glass. Start in one corner and rub out any air bubbles as you go. Once you have added your vinyl, you are going to remove your print. I removed just the picture.
Remove the print slowly. If you pull to hard or fast you can tear the vinyl you want to stay. Once you have removed all the vinyl you need to set it aside.
Next I painted my frame backing black. Just one quick coat. Start with your lights and stick a glue dot where you want to start your lights. I started mine on the side so my battery box can set on the table behind the box. String your lights throughout the backing board using glue dots to hold the lights down. I tried to make mine look like stars in the sky. Use glue dots to hold the wired against the board.
Add your backing to the frame and you are done.

House Party {Shutterfly}
I feel so lucky to have been chosen by HouseParty.com to host the More Merry Shutterfly House party. House party is a website where you can host parties for your favorite products. I was so lucky to host a Shutterfly Party. I have been working on my Daughters Baby Book and was going to have it printed for her for Christmas. This was a great opportunity to have it printed with a great company and a quality product.
I invited a bunch of my Friends and Neighbors to enjoy what Shutterfly has to offer.
It all started with my Party box that arrived a week before the party. Filled with balloons, napkins, sample cards and free photo book coupons for all the attendees.
Using the Shutterfly design creator I was able to upload photos and drop them into the location I wanted, add text and embellish with stylish flowers, buttons and ribbons.
For Christmas this year my Little Miss is getting her baby book and our Christmas card are being printed with Shutterfly! Shutterfly has some great ideas for Personalized Christmas gifts. Make someone happy in your life. Give them Shutterfly.
Thank you Shutterfly and House Party for making my Christmas a little Bit Merrier!
