My Favorite Eggnog Bread Recipe

December 4, 2012 By Tanya 45 Comments

No Sew Burlap Tree Skirt

December 2, 2012 By Tanya 16 Comments

  It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…   I like to decorate my front porch for Christmas (ok every season-but especially Christmas) almost as much as the inside of my home.  I have had these two mini trees for years, and have always loved using them on the porch, or fireplace hearth.  This…

Pretty {and FREE} Gift Wrap

November 27, 2012 By Tanya 36 Comments

  Each year I watch at least two large garbage sacks of gift wraps, ribbons, tissue and bows head for the garage to mostly be thrown out.  I save every bag, flatten and reuse the tissue, but there is still so much leftover.  Not to mention what good quality gift wrap can cost for a…

November 18, 2012 By Tanya 16 Comments

  Happy weekend right before Thanksgiving everyone! Are you totally relaxed and have your menu planned out and turkey thawing or worried and not sure where to start? I am finding myself somewhere in between but cannot stop crafting.  Since I am beginning to decorate for Christmas this week I figured I could, should really,…

Twiggy Book Page Wreath

November 14, 2012 By Tanya 22 Comments

 I have a large glided mirror in my entry way that I really want to hang a wreath on as we transition from Thanksgiving to Christmas, but everything I tried just did not work.  Each wreath I tried was either too colorful, too big, too small, and just plain wonky.  So, out came the poor…

Orange Spice Cider, Chai Latte And Rich Mocha Jar Mixes

November 10, 2012 By Tanya 16 Comments

  We love to make tea and cocoa year round, but when the cooler weather arrives, there is nothing like some warm cider or cocoa to take the chill off & warm the spirits.  These three mixes are super easy to make, and they keep very well too.  If you make them now for gift-giving,…

Dollar Store Christmas Crafts: Pool Noodle Christmas Wreath

November 5, 2012 By Tanya 28 Comments

  I don’t know about you, but I have the Christmas bug this year.  I am having so much fun making presents and decorations.  I need to stay away from Dollar Tree and JoAnn’s, or at least set a weekly limit of visits.  It’s a good thing the Christmas stuff is buried deep in the…
