Christmas around here is filled with....

Chex Mix.

Football.

Family over at our hiuse on Christmas Eve.  We had plenty of appetizers, games, football and lots of laughter.  

One of my 15 plus batches I have made this December and I am still not done.  

Josie crocheting a blanket for her friend.

This is so my life! 

A Dept. 56 Village - Garage Sale. 

I was so happy when I spotted these red and white paper straws in Oregon.  I have them placed in fancy clear cups on a silver tray.  

Christmas Gin Bucket.  

My sister loved it so much on Christmas Eve we made it again the next day.  Best drink recipe ever.  

My sister is so creative!  

She had these letters in the envelope and I had to spell it out. 

Second envelope contained this that I had to figure out.  

My mom said that when she went over to my sister's house a few days before Christmas to help clean and decorate she saw a whole mess of drawings of underware and thongs and didn't know what to think.  Now she knows. Too funny!

My very own mini craft table. 

Perfect size for small projects while I watch Survivor!

Did anyone else get a 3 ft. Sock Monkey named Max and a foam Dawg Head? Well my mom and 4 year old Niece did! 

Best present ever!

A cluster of Mason Jars for my kitchen. 

Made by my mom and dad!

Can't wait to have them hung up! 

Hope you had a Merry Christmas!

Bathroom reveal this week!

I have retired the glue gun

 I swear, i did. 

I have spent all day Monday and Tuesday taking over the kitchen table with my scraps of paper, glue gun and christmas cards. 

Now it is time to start the clean up of the whole house.  We will be hosting Christmas Eve at our house this year.  Time to start the chex mix marathon baking and finish wrapping and tagging the gifts. 

I saw this idea on Pinterest and had to turn this into my Christmas cards. 

Here is a real picture of what my mess looked like.  Keep in mind I had gone through a whole bag of 40 glue sticks, my Taco Time Coke helped me stay awake long after everyone went to bed and thank goodness for Pandora.  I have been glued (not literally) to the Foster the People radio station. 

Are you all done with your shopping?

What crafts did you make this Christmas?

A few of my favorites

I will be making these for my home and for gifts this week.  

I often dream of having a little cottage type shop filled with my handmade cards, paper products, tags, and vintage finds.  I love anything with words, letterpress, alphabet pieces, you name it. 

These are some of the things I would like to recreats.

Another project you say

I have had this one on my brain for some time now.  I have a friend who I met when I was 16 and we have connected through Facebook again and what do you know?  He answered my fb shout out for some wood wire spools.  So tomorrow Jay and I are going to pick up a few wood spools from his business. 

I so badly want to show you what I am planning on making but I have to leave a little bit to be desired.  Friday is my last day of work for the month so I am hoping to work on it during my time off. 

Do you have any guesses on what I might be making with a wood spool?
