Cookies, Cookies, and More Cookies
Every night our neighbors leave a treat on the front door step is filled with cookies, cookies, and more cookies! It has been so fun! I love seeing the Christmas bags nicely decorated adorning our front step, then filled with delicious goodness.
As promised earlier today, I want to share this new cookie with you. Cookies are my favorite treat at Christmas. What about you?
Last week I fiddling around in the kitchen with some new ideas for cookies to share during the holidays.

An Obsession With Book Pages
I have an obsession with book pages! Any chance I can I use them. They can be large or small. The older the better! Another fun thing about book pages is that you don’t have to spend more than a $1.00 for any one thrifted book.
You can give a vintage book new life by making crafts with the book pages. I have made 18 book page crafts (so far) to show you here. Each one is unique and creative.

Here are just a few things I like to do with book pages:
We, 3 Trees…
We, 3 trees of Orient are…Ooops!! Wrong Christmas carol!! I should have said, “Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!!” I just have Christmas trees on my mind. I am loving my trees this year. They are each similar, yet individual. They are just right for us.
If I had to choose a favorite one-I don’t think I could. They are all my fave for different reasons.
I love this one because of the glitter and the book pages mixed together. And then there is the book page banner along with the burlap. LOVE these different textures together!!
AND, she looks fabulous in the guest bathroom!!
Our 2nd tree is in our TV Room. I like this tree because the dusting of “snow “and the pine cones.
But I especially love the wooden box that she calls home. Her star makes me smile.
Doesn’t she look happy with my book page garland, the vintage sleds, and the family gallery?? Like she was meant to be there!!
And, our 3rd tree is placed in our bedroom. One reason is that we don’t have enough room in our living room. The other reason is that I like the fact when you gaze through our home at first glance, you can spot her sitting on my vanity.
I flocked her, and was excited to place her under my chandelier. I had fun decorating her with white, gold, and blue. I love icicles and snow flakes, too.
The gold ornaments are vintage, as well as the cherubs. The Nativity was bought a long time ago, when we had been married just a few years.
So, you see. How could I ever pick a favorite tree?? They are all just the right size and decorated in the right colors for our home. Hmmm…I am already thinking about next year-is that weird???? We, 3 trees, I mean Oh Christmas tree, oh…..
