Ah, the end of the year. Time to take stock of 2015 and share the best of the best. At least that was the plan, but you know, I've done that before ~ twice actually ~ and while the most popular posts are always fun to highlight, this year, I thought I would share my own personal favorites with you. One from each month of the year.
The perfect present for this red loving girl, from my perfect friend Liz. When I was little, Christmas was absolutely perfect. There were always tons of family members gathered in plaid and pearls dancing along to the Yule Log, there were so many presents I could barely see the floor underneath all of the crumpled wrapping paper and people laughed and hugged, ate and sang, eggnog in hand, nonstop from Christmas Eve until late Christmas night. It was ~ Christmas card illustrated, movie depicted, exactly what it was supposed to be ~ perfect.
Turn a gift bag into a pretty home decor accent. It's a great way to recycle those gift bags or make a custom piece with a dollar store bag! Hello Friends! Today, I have another home decor idea using gift bags.

There's a reason for the all the Christmas decorating in December. And when I'm done hanging garland I sit and think about it. How about you?? Phew, I'm all done decorating my home for Christmas and while I thought about taking you on a full tour of the place, I have decided against it. You see, it'd be pretty redundant. My December decor is basically the same this year, as it was last and if I've added anything new, well, I've already shown it to you. Sticking with the old plan may not leave me with anything fresh to feature, but as my mom used to say, if it ain't broke...well, you get the idea.
Whip up an easy, yet elegant wooden sign for Christmas with a holiday gift bag and a few upholstery tacks. It's a quick and easy way to get a custom sign for the holidays. It's the most wonderful time of the year and I have been crafting away, enjoying the fireplace, the decorations, all the festivities that the season has to offer.

Make an easy sign for Christmas, or anytime, with a pretty dollar store gift bag. The artwork is lovely and the how to is super simple. So for years I have been saying that I'm a fickle decorator, that I don't like to spend a ton of time or money on home decor, because I change my mind often. When things don't work out or don't sit right, I want to be able to fix them without feeling guilty about my investment, be it time or money. Any yet, I don't think I have posted about a time when that has occurred.
