Simple

Sometimes I like simple holiday decor. Just a few of the right pieces and you're done. I made the stockings from a vintage table cloth and vintage chenille beadspread. These stockings are just for decoration. The Real stockings (6 of them) will hang from the picket fence fireplace screen. We go totally overboard on filling the stockings. My kids (ages 14 to 22) even buy gifts for the stockings. I may make new stockings for this year, as they need to be bigger for all of the fun stuff that they get filled with. We have a Blast! :)

I made the Santa with his little chenille snow baby from vintage material last year. I really enjoy making holiday decor.....which is why I have too much! Oh well. And last but not least, Christmas decor would not be complete without Wendy Addison glitter stars.....Love them too!!!

Well, time to go grout the mosaic cupcakes. I will be posting the cupcakes I have done to my website tomorrow (Monday). So, make sure you take a looksie and get yourself a one-of-a-kind mosaic cupcake :-)

Take Care!!!!!!

My Christmas Tree

Here's my Christmas tree (okay, 1 of them). I'm using my grandmother's vintage poinsettia table cloth as a tree skirt. I Love pulling it out each year, as it floods me with wonderful memories of her. I miss her so! :(
Anyway, on a lighter note, I've been very busy making mosaic cupcakes today. Each one is very different and very FUN!!! I hope to have them for sale on the website in the next couple of days. When my husband came home from work last night, he said "mmmmm what's cooking?" I said "plaster cupcakes." You should have seen the look on his face....priceless! You'd think after being with me for more than 20 years, he'd expect this. What can I say, I've still got it! (tee, hee) :)

Flat Glass Marbles

I find that I'm becoming quite addicted to these flat glass marbles (that's what I call them anyway). I originally purchased them for use in my mosaics, but now I find myself putting them in different vessels throughout the house. Lots of color with just the right sparkle. Of course, I still use them in my mosaics, I just have to buy more of them now.
As I'm writing this, I am baking my first batch of plaster cupcakes. I'm hoping this will make them dry faster. I'm anxious to get started with my first Mosaic Cupcakes (Yay!)

I Love Pink Trees

I didn't think I was ever going to get this picture loaded...I am having major problems with blogger....maybe I should change to Typepad. I would love some input on this matter.

Anyway.............I've finally completed my Christmas decorating. I've decided that I have way too many Christmas decorations. I didn't even put it all out. I do love it all though!! I LOVE this little pink tree! I think I need a few more of them....and this is how I get too much stuff! :) It would be so much easier to put a bunch of little trees throughout the house instead of big ones. Anyway, I'll be sharing more Christmas decor over the next few days.....well, if I'm able to. Wish me luck on this blogger stuff.

Happy Holidays People!! :)

Holiday Buffet

Finally! A little piece of holiday decorating complete. I love how my newly decorated window fits in with my other decor. Everytime I think I'm tired of the aqua, pink, cream and red color combination, I find myself going right back to it and loving it all over again!
My living room is full of boxes of holiday decorations (what a mess!) waiting for me to pull them out and make some magic. I'm hoping to get this accomplished today, however, today is the last day of the Tempe Art Festival and I would like to spend a few hours checking it out. I guess I'd better get busy.....
Happy Decorating!

Lovely Window

This is how I get behind in what I'm supposed to be doing. I pulled out a Christmas box with good intentions of getting my holiday decorating started. As I started to move stuff around on my buffet, I looked at this window (which was on the buffet) and thought "This needs something". Then I started digging through my scraps of paper, got the modge podge out and created this Now lovely window. I am very pleased with it, however, I haven't started the holiday decorating and I have to meet some people in an hour. I'm going to try again when I get home.
