A New Christmas Mantel

Posted on by Posted in Christmas, Craftyness, tissue paper, Tissue Paper Crafts, Tutorials 41 Comments



OK, so it’s not your traditional mantel BUT the box did say Wall Mantel Shelf on it. Anyhow, my sweet hubby bought this for me. We have a bar that no matter how hard I try remains littered with sippy cups, keys, receipts, change, random Cheerios…..I could keep going but you get the picture.

I LOVE my new FAUX Mantel! David put it up while I bathed Alie and put her to bed, so I got to play with it afterward.

David found this AMAZING Nativity Set at Big Lots for just $14!! Isn’t it gorgeous. I just love it!
David also found that precious “Bless This Family” sign at Michael’s one evening while I stood staring blankly at a wall of jewelry beads for an embarrassing length of time! It was 60% off so we paid $4 for that!! 


I saw these ADORABLE Tissue Paper Christmas Trees on the Spunky Junky blog. Halsey posted a GREAT tutorial on how to make these. Check out her tutorial and her awesome blog and tell her I said “HELLO”
These are my sweet trees I made using Halsey’s tutorial. Aren’t they awesome?  I LOVE THEM! I wanna make some for everyone now. 




What do you think of my New Christmas faux Mantel? I love it! My hubby made a GREAT suggestion for the blank wall area just above it. I’ll keep it a surprise for now. It would be so much fun IF I can pull it off. Lets just say he thinks I have the same creative and artistic gifts as Donna with Funky Junk Interiors.


I’m linking this up to Layla’s Christmas Mantel Party. You have your mantels ready? Go link them up too.

Thankful Surprises

Posted on by Posted in Craftyness, fall, family, Tutorials 12 Comments

For years now a family favorite at Thanksgiving is my pumpkin cheesecake. 


I make it two ways layered and swirled. 

Over the years, I have discovered there is ALWAYS a lot left over in the bowl before I bake them.  It’s so good to lick the spoon, but I’m not sure how safe it is to eat a bowl of raw cheesecake batter.  This year, I decided to make my hubby and daughter a ‘lil  Thanksgiving surprise. 

I baked the remaining batter in these cute ‘lil heart shaped foil baking liners I had.  I wanted to make them look like a present, so I gathered some scrapbook paper, construction paper, scissors, glue, fall ribbon and our espresso shot glass to stencil the circles. 
I glued the circles together and wrote their names on the tags.  BUT they need a ‘lil something don’t they?
I cut out some ‘lil leaves from another sheet of scrapbook paper.  Doesn’t that look better?
If you’re a jewelry maker, then you must have a bead reamer. They make GREAT hole punchers too!
TA-DA!!! Aren’t they cute?? 
This is the ‘lil yummy surprise inside!
They both LOVED them. It was just a ‘lil extra something just for them to let them know I love them and I am so very thankful for them both. 

I’m having a celebration GIVEAWAY!!!! I’m giving away some of my new Christmas Jewelry! Check it out here and enter!
