It’s Beginning To Look A lot Like Christmas! Part 1

in Celebrations, Christmas

First, I apologize in advance for the horrible photography skills shown here. I think the lighting is just weird inside our house. Anyway, we jumped the gun and started decorating our house the week before Thanksgiving. I just couldn’t wait anymore! :) I took out the items bought from years past, bought a few new items and also handmade some others!

Project 1: I had bought this ornament hanger from Ikea last year. It came in both white and black. I bought the white was still thought it was a little too bright. This year I bought this card wall decor wreath from Home Decorators to show off all our holiday cards. (I’ll be sure to post an end of the season photo with all the cards inside!). The card wreath was gold and the hanger was white. It didnt’ go with the “silver and red” color palete I was envisioning. (before – note card wreath is not in position here, only leaning on the wall)

In came spray paint! I spray painted both the hanger and card wreath with silver matte paint so they matched some other items on the table. Also notice a few items that were originally on the table are no longer there but moved into a new location to be shown later. Taking the Martha Stewart “less is more” concept.  I love the funky red reindeer. He was a fun find from Home Goods (heart that store!). I’ll be sure to take a picture of the card wreath once it’s all filled up by holiday mail!

5 Tips to Make Shell Canvases like this: 🐚 Draw ou 5 Tips to Make Shell Canvases like this:
🐚 Draw out a stencil of your preferred shape. It's optional to paint the shape itself, but even a rough pencil line will keep you on task
🐚 Use strong glue and a lot of it! I used E6000 glue and ended up having to get more than what you see here. 
🐚 Flip the shells over! There are some cool colors on the insides that may match better than the top side. 
🐚 Clean and dry the shells thoroughly. Sorry, but I have no tips about this process as my mom had these ones for year from past trips, but you don't want some smelly shells hanging in your home!
🐚 Don't skip on those little shells as those minis are perfect to fill in the gaps of the collages.

Hello fellow readers! If you're looking for some r Hello fellow readers! If you're looking for some recommendations for historical fiction reads, here are 5 of my favorites I enjoyed last year that I'd recommend to readers who like this genre (with no spoilers):
.
The Frozen River by Arial Lawhorn – Takes place in the post American Revolution times, narrated by a midwife sharing her challenges in this profession and not being taken seriously but still having people trust her medical authority. It includes a murder and trial, which just reiterates how crazy it was to be a woman back then and their lack of rights!
.
The Book of Lost Names by Kristin Harmel – Like many of her books, this author focuses on the French aspect of WWII, but this time as those who helped forge documents to help Jewish children cross the border.
.
The Nature of Fragile Things by Susan Miessner – Follow Susan Whalen who comes to San Francisco in 1906 as a mail order bride only to get into the middle of a complicated life after marrying a man she never met and things she discovers during a nature disaster in her state.
.
The Lion Women of Tehran by Marjan Kamali – Starts in the 1950s in Iran where we meet two friends and follow their story through the historic time of this country. This fictional read shares more about the culture and limitations of women and those who try to change the government while struggling to maintain friendships.
.
The Rose Code by Kate Quinn – An assortment of female friendships during WWII as they work to break secret codes by the German military and continues to follow their stories through the years.
.
If you have a suggestion on another in this genre, please leave it in the comments so I can add to my TBR!
