A Special Gift - "It's Christmas Tomorrow"
To my dear readers.
Christmas is tomorrow.
And I couldn't let the day go without taking a moment to wish you the very merriest Christmas.
And if Christmas is not what you celebrate, or if it is, I wish you all the blessings of this holiday season.
And as a special gift, this is a recording of my 11 year-old daughter, Peanut, singing a song she wrote.
We wanted to share it with you.
(turn the volume up a bit, we are still working on capturing sound with video)

10 DIY Gift Ideas
You know those people that you really love but you just don’t know what to buy for them?
Or do you have a group where you need to make a bunch of the same gifts – and quick?!
So I thought I would gather up some ideas of projects I have done that would make great gifts to give you some DIY gift ideas.
Gift Wrapping Ideas – No Sew DIY Gift Bag
Did you know that they are selling gloves this year where there is something in the fingertip that makes it so it works on your phone screen?
My world has been rocked.
And my daughter bought a pair for each of her girlfriends (fyi, JC Penney - only $5 each!).
So I decided to help her with some gift wrapping ideas.
And my thoughts went to my Grandmother, Myrtle. I imagine we all have a Myrtle in our lives. You know the one. They so carefully open the gift because they don't want to tear the paper, because it looks so "rich".
So, whenever possible, I like to wrap presents in something that is a gift in itself - without getting too complicated. That way, they don't have to worry about wasting the wrapping.
And hopefully, with something already in the house. And in my case, since I am a ribbon hoarder, I always have ribbon in my house.
Enter - no-sew and easy DIY gift bags, made from ribbon.

Christmas Decorating: Silver & Gold Candle Plate
I have brought a lot of red, with touches of black and white in our home this Christmas. I even brought them outside.
But I was starting to feel the need for a little bit of silver, and a little bit of gold.
And so I decided to make a candle plate.

Colorful Christmas Decorating – blogger Stylin’ Home Tours
If you are just joining us today from the previous stop, East Coast Creative, welcome – I so appreciate you coming by!
I am so excited to be part of the Blogger Stylin’ Home Tours being hosted by the lovely Lindsay of the White Buffalo Styling Co.

I shared our Christmas decorating from the rest of the house, and truth be told, I am a pretty traditional girl. But in our home office / craft room / homework space, I definitely went the route of more colorful Christmas decorating.

Chalkboard Table Runner – The Night Before Christmas
What is about The Night Before Christmas?
I am quite certain that we are not the only family that reads it aloud every year on Christmas Eve. And we will continue to do so no matter how old the girls are.
So I guess that was what I was thinking about when I made this chalkboard table runner.
