Joyeux Noel

I have been playing in my studio and I had fun putting together this little box of treasures.

I started by covering a small box with Joyeux Noel paper.

I added some puffy stars that I always have fun making along with some white jingle bells,
a crown earring and a fabric piece.

I also put in a white gauze flower pin and some tinsel candy canes.

Next I added one of my stickers that I won several months ago...

A piece of fabric that I had rubber stamped with ice skates and snow flakes

A french inspired tag

I knew it wouldn't be complete without some punched snowflakes and doves

This is my favorite piece...I made this tag and added some swarovski crystals where
the "berries" should be. I will say for future reference...glitter and THEN add the crystals..
not the other way around.. :)

At the very bottom of the box are two fabric frenchy tags.

This is the box all wrapped up. Yep, once again Sandi got things upside down. I had to stand
on my head to read the Joyeux Noel on the wrapping paper. ha ha!

The gorgeous paper...

I had fun doing this and after Christmas I might just make another one for a giveaway.

What do you think? Would you be interested? I am always running behind, but hey
you could use it for next year.

JOYEUX NOEL everyone!!

Peace, Love, Joy and Hope

I did a little after Christmas shopping one day last week and found these adorable white
frosted pine and bell garlands so I purchased the last two @ 50% off.

I hung them on my chippy white shutters and took a few pictures.
I do  love taking pictures. :)

Don't you just love the simplicity ? I do.

I was thinking that these would make neat postcards or notecards.
What do you think?  I may check into that.


Praying that whatever is going on in your life right now, that you are at peace and
have love and joy in your heart. If by chance you are going through hard times,
please don't give up...there is always hope.

Peaceful White Wednesday

I am wishing and praying for a peaceful holiday for all

my bloggy friends and all my *not* bloggy friends too!

This time of year can get very stressful and it can sure

get overwhelming at times. Just when I think I can't

take anymore...I feel so guilty hearing of something

far worse than my problems.

For instance someone's house burning down just after they

finished wrapping the last Chritsmas gift and they didn't

even have time to get their shoes on. Thank God they are

safe, but wow...puts it all in perspective don't ya think?

*PEACE*

Doesn't it look much better this way?

Doesn't this just scream *peaceful setting*...

My bff's potting shed. Isn't it so neat?? I just love it. She has impeccable taste and her place is always so inviting! I wish now that I had walked

around the side of it and took a picture of her

chicken roost that her husband made her. I love it!

The fence and arbor that her hubby built for her.

I could live in this shed! I mean I truly could! lol.

You see this at the entrance to her garage. Another beautiful peaceful setting.

Praying for His peace to fill your heart this Christmas season.

Linking up with Kathleen over at Faded Charm

once again! Blessings~
