A few years ago I showed you how to make an Easy DIY Waterless Snow Globe from a jelly jar. Today we're going to make something similar, although less shakable, with a thrift store cheese dome. It's a cheese dome turned winter wonderland Christmas cloche. Now as much as I enjoy a good hunk of...

You have no idea how long I've searched trying to figure out what to actually call this thing. It's technically a monkey pod item. Monkey pod bowls and serving pieces were popular in the 1950's (the mid-century modern era). But was it made for nuts? Made for candy? Made for crackers? You got me because...

When I'm taking down my Christmas decor, I always leave a bit of greenery on the porch outside to transition it from a festive Christmas porch into a more generic winter porch. Normally, I remove my red tartan plaid pillows, the Christmas bow on the wreath, and any obvious Christmas items (bye, bye Santa blow...

When I found this vintage red and white enamelware frying pan at a yard sale a few years ago, I immediately knew what I was going to do with it. Repurpose it for Christmas decor, of course! And then it sat in my craft room year after year, like that sad little Dolly on the...

During the holiday season, I have always loved to use a festive background on my cell phone to "decorate" my phone. I mean, I decorate just about everything else for Christmas so why not my phone. This year I decided to share with you some of the holiday iPhone wallpapers I've created. They'll work on...

A couple years ago I made a cute hot chocolate station out of a plaid school lunchbox. It was compact, just the right size for 2 people and it looked very festive setting on the counter. This year I decided to kick it up a notch and make a hot chocolate bar with more options...

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, says the start of the holiday season more than hanging a festive Christmas wreath on your front door. It's normally the very first thing I do when starting my holiday decorating. Followed by putting out my Christmas doormat and then coming back inside to finish off the left-over pumpkin pie....

I found this wooden silverware tray at a thrift store YEARS ago and it has been setting in my "Hey, let's repurpose that" pile forever. Y'all got one of those piles in your garage, right? I loved the red color on the sides!!! It was just screaming Christmas to me, but I couldn't figure out what...
