Happy New Year!

I changed up my shelf a bit for New Year's Eve.  I added some party hats, beads and horn and used eighteen25's subway art.

Have a safe and prosperous New Year!

Merry Christmas!

Wishing you all the Merriest of Christmas and blessings for the New Year!

See you in 2012!

Place Cards & Tags

Just a quick post to share the place cards I created for Christmas Dinner and tags for our gifts.  I used PTI's Turning a New Leaf and Poinsettia dies.

And this is what we had last year.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ...

This is my shelf display in our kitchen/dining area.  It was inspired by an episode in HGTV where the theme was winter wonderland.  Though they basically used all silver and white I added greenery on mine since I tried to use what I already have from the past Christmas.  The subway art is from Eighteen 25.  I added glitter glue on some of the words just to stay with the sparkly theme =D.  I pretty much already have everything except for the silver frame I got from Ross. I took out everything and just kept the glass and frame.  

And this is our Christmas tree.  I tried a tip a got from Pinterest where you turn off all the lights in the house except for the tree then crank up the ISO and used very slow shutter speed.  It made the tree really sparkle.

I still have a lot of things to do before Christmas ... I'm still working on our family Christmas cards.
