Christmas/Holiday Decor - 2011
So, because of the approaching holiday combined with our new puppy, I am kinda beat. Hence, the slow down in posts. Also, the Crazy Cute party will still be up for y'all to link up, but for the next two weeks, I didn't think it was fair to showcase a shop for a giveaway because I sense that a lot of other bloggers are taking a bit of time off for the holiday season. So, for tomorrow's link party and the following week, no giveaway. But, after the first of the year, you an expect some AWESOME giveaways!
Spearmint Wreath - {Tutorial}
What you'll need:
4 Bags of spearmintsStyrofoam wreath
Red felt (cut in to long strips)
Ribbon
Alotta hot glue
1. Start off by wrapping the styrofoam wreath with the red felt that you've cut in to long strips. This will give the spearmints something better to hold on to as opposed to the styrofoam and also because you'll be able to see through the gaps on spearmints and the red felt will be more visually appealing than the raw styrofoam.
Family Photo Shoot and Holiday Christmas Card 2011
Hi all! I thought I would share the family photo shoot we had a couple months ago. A very good friend of our family is one of the most talented photographers I have ever seen and he happens to be a good neighbor and he is also married to an incredible woman and they have a beautiful daughter together. I was so excited for this photo shoot as we haven't been as good about having E's picture taken like we were with L. I guess it's a second born, first born thing. We just never have the time for a scheduled photo shoot. However, we decided it was WAY past due and I couldn't be any happier with the way the whole thing turned out. Prepare yourself. I am sharing a TON of photos.
But first, I'll share with you the Christmas card I made this year on MY Digital Studio by Stampin' Up! It was super simple and quick! After I make my cards, I upload them to the Costco Photo Center as a 5x7 picture and they cost me next to nothing. If you haven't done your Christmas cards this year, here is a little inspiration:
I told you there were a ton! I actually had more up there, but it was a little embarrassing how many I had so I had to comb through them and eliminate some. I hope you're having an awesome day and don't forget to enter in to the two awesome giveaways I've got going on this week! You can find the links for them in my sidebar. :D

Christmas Candy Cane Centerpiece - {Tutorial}
Today, I'm going to do a super easy tutorial on how to make a very awesome centerpiece for your table. Actually, it could really go anywhere,... it's just so purdy. Okay let's get started:
What you'll need:
3 Boxes Candy Canes
1 Glass cylindrical vase
Alotta hot glue
Flowers to put in your vase
Red ribbon
1 Spearmint
1. Wipe off your glass vase. (If yours is anything like mine was, it has dust all over it.)
2. Unwrap your candy canes and carefully position the first one on the vase and determine how tall you would like it. I cut about a 1/4 inch off the bottom of most of mine. Make sure you put each candy can up to the glass before you glue it down, to see if it needs to be trimmed. Candy canes are not identical, like I thought they were. Some are shorter than others.
3. Continue to go around the vase, gluing as you go.
