Last time I showed you how I made a quick and easy Christmas swag for my front door. I prefaced by saying this: Waste not, want not. A penny saved is a penny earned. Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without. A bird in the hand is worth two in the…… Continue reading how lovely are your branches: using the leftover trimmings from our christmas tree {part 2: Christmas Wreath}
When we purchased our Ektorp sofa and love seat from Ikea, I got some 20×20″ throw pillows, as well. They’re actually just the inserts, so I grabbed a few covers (a 16×26″ blue ticking stripe, a blue patterned/polka dot and these ones) while I was at it.

We turn on some festive music, pull various items filled with memories from our Christmas totes, and try to…… Continue reading fa la la la la-ing & deck the halls-ing ~ part two
I just love everything about the Christmas season: the music, the movies, the decorating, the goodies, the parties, but most of all the general spirit of good will and of course the reason behind it all, the birth of the Saviour–Emmanuel, God with us. I don’t want this to be a stressful time (although I…… Continue reading fa la la la la-ing & deck the halls-ing ~ part one

We always have a fun and encouraging time together, whether for Bible study, outreach planning and preparation, a party or a meal. We were recently given a beautiful compliment. A visitor to our church said that if she were to describe our…… Continue reading let’s be jolly ~ ladies’ christmas craft night
