JiNgLe ALL ThE wAy!!

In the mood for some JINGLE BELLS?? This is SUCH a dah-ling idea that Shanade posted on her blog....
She was even kind enough to explain HOW she did it!

If you make this....be sure to leave her some LOVE!! These jingle bells remind me of the one(s) on Polar Express! LOVE THAT MOVIE!!

Christmas Cards & Shutters?!?

They TOTALLY go together!!  :)

I haven't quite found a way (that I absolutely LOVE) to display all of the Christmas Cards we get from our friends and family.  I once saw a wire wreath that was ADORABLE....that you place the cards in...unfortunately I didn't snap a pic!  

This idea is pretty awesome!

A Christmas Card Shutter Display

The gals at howdoesshe.com are pretty creative!

This MIGHT be the winning idea for us this year...

You've Got Mail...AGAIN!!

SoooOOOoo....you have something you need to mail off to a loved one that is a little fragile, you go to the Post Office...pick out a padded envelope to put the item in (that costs a TON), get in line....wait forever, and then mail off your package.

{Pause for Dramatic Effect...tee, hee...}

Now - ONE of those steps can be eliminated!!


Sew Sweet Stitches came up with a way to create your OWN padded package....that is actually CUTE!  This caught my eye because I am needing to mail off some items....and this is JUST what I was looking for!  :)

Are You Prepared?

My husband and I are trying to get a little more prepared in case of an emergency.  Nowadays...you can NEVER be "too prepared" and I think it's smart to make sure we all take precautions ahead of time!  The Creative Homemaker recently had a post on a whole LIST of great blogs and websites that can help you get prepared for any emergency.  I love her list....thus I am linking up.  I hope this helps some of you, too!
