a great find!

I wanted to share with you this great book I found at Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago. It has so many wonderful craft ideas, recipes, and simple inspiring messages for the holiday season. I just love it. If you can, pick up a copy, I know you will love it too.

Did St. Nick come to your house last night?

Just a little song to celebrate St. Nick.

Enjoy the holiday season.



decorating for the season.....

.....of basketball, that is!

The Xavier Muskies brought home another win over the weekend. In this house we not only decorate for the Christmas season but for the basketball season as well. We have XU fans and Flyer Fans......yes, Alison and Collin I did not forget about your precious flyers.



A friend of mine made these darling snowman decorations for my daughters....big XU and Flyer fans!

Craft show

This was my last craft show of the year. I set up at our Christmas walk in town and despite the fact that there were not many shoppers I had a great time. I watched the parade, all the little kids waited in line to see Santa and the lighting of the Tree was a big success. 

cute candy jars

I made 24 of these darling little candy jars. I will be set up at the Harrison Christmas Walk in downtown Harrison on Sat. Dec. 3rd. Come on down and enjoy the parade, lighting of the tree, and shopping. We will be set up at 130 Harrison Ave. Santa will be there too!

These are the perfect Secret Santa gift for your co-workers, family and friends. I found the jars at Hobby Lobby and I used the holiday tags set from amuse along with candy cane and vanilla cardstock. Add a piece of ribbon around the lid and you have a great gift!
