{Adore Him} Mantel


This years Christmas Mantel is is all about Nativities.  I love Christmas Nativities.  I have been collecting them for years.Countries like the  Czech Republic, Mexico, Spain and Russia. I only have a few, but I really cherish them.  The Framed art is a gift from my Husband for our First Christmas together. I added Vinyl for the "Adore Him" on the Mantel wall.  So here is my Adore Him Mantel!





I added my Little People Nativity for the kids and our Santa village.

 I used my "He is the Reason" Printable and my Shadow Box Nativity to top off the Mantel. You can find them Here and Here.

Reindeer Food

This post is from last year. It's an Oldie but a goodie.  Reindeer Food! You can whip up a quick batch of  reindeer food and use it as a neighbor gift or for your kids to give there friends for Christmas.  

In a bowl mix oatmeal and red and silver glitter.Or whatever you have.
Place a small amount in a bag.  ( I got my small baggies at the craft store in the bead section.)
 I usually add about 2 Tablespoons.
Add a bag topper. And staple to the top of your bag.  
All finished.

8 Maids of Milking

Thanks Holly and Nat for inviting me! I love this song!  I think this is one of the first songs I fell in love with as a kid at Christmas time. This was a bit of a challenge but here is what I came up with.

12 Days of Christmas_300




I thought it would be fun to have a quick and easy to go treat for Santa.  You know to go with his milk!

Here is what I did!!

Supplies:
Pringles can
card stock: Red & White
Gold and white glitter
Cookies or Cookie dough
Jug of Milk

Cover your Pringles can in red paper and tape or glue ends.

 I printed mine off on my printer.  After cutting your buckle and mustache, turn over to the white side of the paper, put a small amount of modge podge on both of them and sprinkle they with glitter.   Let it dry.


When dry use glue dots or glue to secure your belt, buckle and Mustache into place.

Add your tag and your all done!


Add a jug of milk and some cookies and you are ready to go. Santa will a have a little snack on the go!!

Want to make it a neighbor gift???  Instead of cookies, fill the the container with cookie dough and print off the poem.

Washi Tape Ornaments




I love Washi Tape!!  I love to make projects with Washi Tape.  It is inexpensive and really packs a punch!  this season I decided to make a Washi tape Ornaments.

What you need:
Washi Tape (Michaels has great new festive tapes this season.  Just ab out any Christmas color you can think of, even gold and silver)
Foam core ( I get mine at the dollar store)
Exact-o Knife
Modge Podge
Frame
Ribbon
Opt: Vinyl saying

I first took an old frame I had and covered the glass with white paper. Missed this picture but you can just imagine it.

Next I found some ornament shapes on the Internet and printed them.  I flipped them wrong side up and covered the paper with washi tape.  Then cut them out.

Take some modge podge and glue the ornaments to a piece of foam core.  I got mine at the dollar store. Let the glue dry. Putting them on the foam core makes the jump off the page.  Not so flat.

Once the glue is dry use an Exact-o knife and cut around the edge of the ornaments. To give my ornaments a little sparkle and texture I used glitter glue pens to dot the polka dots, and lines on the washi tape. It is hard to see in the pictures but in person they look great.

Once your ornaments are cut out, place them on your frame.  I played a little with the placement until I liked it.


Add some ribbons for strings and bows with glue dots.


Once I got this far I thought I would be happy but I decided to add the Phrase Merry & Bright to my frame.  I think it finished it off perfect!!! I just love how it turned out.

Buddy The Elf!!

I find as I get older, the idea of Christmas is Nostalgic to me.  I yearn for a Vintage Christmas.  Lots of Snow, Real Christmas Trees, handmade Ornaments. You know the kind we had when we were kids.  I loved watching Christmas movie, seeing Santa and driving around to see Christmas lights.  So this year I am trying to make a less commercial and more down home Christmas.  I love sharing old movies and music with my kids.  One of my favorite movies is Buddy the Elf.  I realize its not super old but its older than my kids.  So to them its Vintage. Buddy  makes me Smile!

Today I am sharing my favorite quote from the movie!  Enjoy! Just Right Click on the image you want and save to your computer.
