This lady is deckin the halls...I took a break to come share a few crafts with ya and a small wee glimpse of the decorating going on in the Nelson house hold this year. I have been busy doing some crafts some of which found there way into a lovely vintage Christmas swap I participated in this year. As you know...me and boxes are "tight". I like to use them...in abundance. I did little Christmas House ones this time. One with a vintage snowman reproduction and one with some snow girls. Yesterday found me spray painting some branches white...I made a "branch tree"...stuck them in an old galvanized bucket and put ornaments on top. I hope to fully share that tomorrow. You can see my bingo card santa hanging from those branches. I love old bingo cards! This one says JOllY..so I thought a Santa image was the way to go. I have also been having fun playing with these stars....adding to them and painting them. I added antiquing medium to this one. Make fun little presents for the peeps. Last but hopefully not least...a little peek into my old Santa mug collection.....I hope to get the rest done today and tomorrow. I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was a good one! I will be sharing many projects in the next few days. Cherry

Love it! Especially those glittery ornaments and that pretty star:) You have been busy!
HA! "Tight" -- yes, you and your boxes are tight, only because you make them look so dang good! I love that polka dot paper. Putting up the decorations is taking me forEVER this year! I've been working on it for a week! Tomorrow I am getting it all done and boxes back to the basement so we can just enjoy!
Oh so pretty - all of it! You always have the best photos. :)
I don't know what I like better, your projects of the way you photo them!
I love what you have been making! Is there any chance of getting a lesson from you on one of these posts? I sure hope so. Would love to see how you do the stars, boxes, houses or cones you make.
Hugs,
Joanne

Such cute stuff! I think my Mom has that same winking Santa mug. I have always liked it!
Oh, you just always have the cutest things and ideas! My Granny is a "Gamblin' Granny" so she would so love the Bingo Cards :) I loved it when you said you're tight with the boxes...LOL. You're cute!

Love all the pics! Love your Santa mug collection too!
Oh Cherry! I wish you were my next door neighbor so that we could craft together.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! I love the bingo card. What a great way to use it!
What fun ideas! I love the hat box and the vintage santas. So Great!
Very cute! I can't wait to see what else you come up with!
Manuela
Your stuff is just plain ole beautiful!! I can't wait to get my box.....I hope you got my check! I am counting the days :)
You simply inspire me with your sense of style! I'm hosting BUNKO at my 1970s home in the next couple of weeks and I'm a little nervous. Most of my friends live in large new homes. However, when I see how you put things out that are so beautiful it makes me realize it's not how new my home is...it's how lovely I keep it up and decorate it with things that I love. Thanks for all your inspiration.
Oh how fun! I get to pick which craft you show us? What an honor!! How about that darling cone with the Snowman/angel. Now I can't wait! I'm so excited.
Hugs,
Joanne
You will be inspiring many wanna be crafters this season.:)
Your crafts are just amazing! Can't wait to see the branch tree so I can copy it!
Bingo Santa is totally rockin' my Christmas stockins'. :-)
As if all of the crafty goodness wasn't enough...the pictures!! Fabulous.
I love, love ,love the star and the bingo Santa card. They are great . I am with you on boxes. While we were in Fairfax for Thanksgiving weekend we went to a yard sales Saturday and I bought two stacks of beautiful boxes for only $10 and I was happy as if I had found gold. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving and looking forward to seeing more of your Christmas stuff.
