"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!"

The inside of our house is ready....Still a few more things to finish up outside.

 

OUR ENTRY...

We added garland & little wreaths up the staircase...

We didn't put lights in the garland this year

Because this table in front of the staircase has lights...

The presents actually light up...so cute!

I love how the house feels with the lights on at night...

Our Tree...

Traditional RED & WHITE...

This year we added a little green ribbon...

Presents & Peppermint Candy

Easy Cute Skirt...

I've mentioned this before, but I don't like sewing with patterns.  A complex I gained in the 7th grade...you'd think I'd be over it, but I still avoid projects that include cutting out a pattern. I have wanted to make my daughter's matching skirts for a while & I found a way to do this without using a pattern!  If you can do some basic math skills, this will work for you!

This blog has the BEST tutorial...step by step with pictures!
Less Than Perfect Life Of Bliss
You can make a skirt in ALL sizes using this method.
I ended up making a skirt for my 10 year old, her American Doll & my Baby.
They turned out so cute!!

I love the ruffles...

I love how you can choose how long you want the skirt to be too.

Here she is with her Doll...

This is much cheaper than buying the doll clothes!

Don't they look cute??

I just added one ruffle to the bottom of Sophie's skirt.  Then I took pink ribbon and sewed it down the middle of the ruffle. She's happy with how it turned out!

I already went out and bought more fabric to try a few more variations!

I LOVE these girls!!

Cheap Christmas Print...

Do you want a cute & easy Christmas Print?

I got all of my supplies at the Dollar Store...

I picked out a gift bag that had a cute Christmas Tree on it.  Then I headed down the frame isle & picked up an 8X10 silver frame to match.

 

 Trace the paper that comes in the frame onto the bag...cut it out & place it in the frame!

Voila... a $2.00 Christmas decoration!

The best part is that  you can still use the other side of the bag to make another one to give as a gift. You actually get two prints for a dollar.  You can do this for any holiday, they really make cute gift bags for all of the seasons!
