Epsom Salt Christmas Jar Display

December 3, 2013 By Meegan 8 Comments

After visiting Pottery Barn and seeing their beautiful displays, I decided to make my own Epsom Salt Christmas Jar Display.

It wasn’t hard at all. AND using my own decorations and natural elements, I was ready to go…

I’ve Got The Monday Blues For A Little Christmas Shelf

December 2, 2013 By Meegan 2 Comments

[slideshow_deploy id=’5749′]

I’ve Got The Monday Blues For A Little Christmas Shelf and I am excited to share it with you today!  You KNOW that I LOVE blue, right?  I have a shelf that I thrifted, refreshed and now it hangs in our “office”.  I decided to add a little Christmas cheer by adding a few things I already own.

You may also know how much I like to use empty frames to decorate our home.  This shelf is no exception.  Staggering 4 of my favorite frames I began to set up my shelf.

I've Got The Monday Blues For a Little Christmas ShelfI bought tiny birdhouses at Jo-Ann and painted them with some of my favorite blues and whites last year.  While the paint was still wet, I sprinkled iridescent glitter on each one.  SO EASY!

I made the light blue tulle wreath for our son’s wedding from an embroidery hoop.  EASY!!  I found the “let it snow” sign in the dollar section at Target.  (Gotta love the dollar section, right?)

I've Got The Monday Blues For a Little Christmas ShelfI also made the small blue/green frame with the flower.  I found the brooch at Hobby Lobby.  I enjoy using this frame all year long.  I really like the addition of the glitter and how each birdhouse shimmers in the light.

And one last look at my Little Christmas Shelf.  While I am working on blog posts, I can look up and it makes me smile to see a little Christmas Cheer.

What do you have in your office for some Christmas Cheer?

I’ve Got The Monday Blues For A Little Christmas Shelf, do you, too???

Thanks for stopping by today and making my day a little brighter…

Field Trip Friday with What Meegan Makes 2012 Christmas Tour

November 29, 2013 By Meegan Leave a Comment

[slideshow_deploy id=’5749′]
Well here we are…In Christmas season, already!!  And it is Field Trip Friday with What Meegan Makes 2012 Christmas Tour.
I thought it would be fun to share with some of my new readers my home at Christmas time last year.  It still inspires me while I decorate for this year.
As you enter our home this is what you will find.  Snow Globes, Christmas shelves,  and branches  filled with snow flakes and DIY birdhouses.
On my Thrifted coffee table you will enjoy my grandpa’s croquet box filled with snow flakes, ornaments, candle, and book page cones.  I also included my DIY Chalkboards clipped with painted clothes pins.
I love to collect Nativity sets.  This is the first one I received from a friend when she visited Italy.  I love the look under a cloche.
This “Elf on the Shelf” was my mom’s when she was a child in the 40s.  He has been in our home as long as I can remember.
I painted all of these little birdhouses and found some branches outside.  I love this look and a little bit of personality.
I have 3 Christmas trees this year.  Each has it’s on style for the room that they have found home.
Hubby collects snow globes.  His wish is to have enough for each grand baby to eventually choose their own.  They each play music as well. Pure magic for the grand kiddos.
My view from the kitchen into the living room.
Probably one of my favorite rooms in our home during the Christmas season.  The guest bathroom.  The birdhouse was a gift from my dad.  Doesn’t this look so inviting?
Thanks for joining me today for Field Trip Friday with What Meegan Makes 2012 Christmas Tour.  I hope you enjoyed your stay.  Come back again soon!
Make it a Field Trip Friday!
