Our Christmas Tree

I wanted to share a pic of our Christmas tree. We all decorated it together as a family. Even my baby girl tried to help out by tasting some! Now just need to fill it up with presents Santa ;O)

My little boy is always ready to help! He is so carful with mommies ornaments

Even the dog has to be included! Always doing what ever the kids are doing.

My baby girl is in the 'pointing" stage, we had to talk about just about every ornement before it went on the tree. It is so wonderful to watch them marvel at the colors, lights & stories behind this magical season.

Happy Holidays!!

Believe

So many of my wonderful talented freinds at Shabby Lane Shops do beautiful hand painted items. This is a Believe sign I hand painted with tiny roses & glittered, think I am keeping. ( I am a bit addicted to glitter now) I have hung it in my Dining Room from my lighted garland & just love it! Just wanted to share.

snowman cookies

I wanted to share a fun & easy Cookie with you. These are one of my many favorites. They are made with Cream chesse & butter & are not very figure friendly....but very yummy! Add chocolate chip eyes & buttons & its even better!! The dough is sticky, but my little boy & I had a "ball" making these together.

1 8 oz softened philly cream cheese
1 Cup Powdered Sugar
3/4 Cup Butter (1 1/2 sticks)
1/2 tspn Vanilla
2 Cups Flour
1/2 tspn Baking Soda

~BAKE @ 325 for 19—21 MINS

* Suggested Decorations: Decorating gels, colored sprinkles, mini chips, & mini peanut butter cups

~ Mix Cream Cheese, Sugar, Butter & Vanilla on Med till well blended
~ Add Flour & Baking Soda, mix well
~ Shape dough into equal number of 1/2” & 1” balls. Using one size each, place balls slightly overlapping on cookie sheet.
Flatten to 1/4” thickness w/ bottom of a glass dipped in additional flour.
Cool on wire racks. Sprinkle each w. sifted powdered sugar.
Decorate & Cut peanut Butter cups in halves & place 1 on each for hats.

These are our finished cookies. This is about all my 3 year old had patience to finish! Not all got hats, because we ate quite a few too Hope you give it a try & add as much as you want to make this fat little guys even cuter! ENJOY!!

New Christmas

New Christmas Items are coming in from now untill Christmas! Here is my new lighted house. The smaller Pink & White Glitter Lighted House with the 3 Botlle Brush Trees has been my best seller, so I have added the larger size to add to your Vintage Inspired Village.

I have also been inspired by many of my friends at Shabby Lane Shops and tried to do some hand painted ornaments to offer you. Here is what I came up with.

Rose Hand Painted Glitter Wishes, can you get any more shabby and festive than that! Christmas is all about wishes......

I also offer a Vintage 50's style Dessert set. It is a service of 4 Dishes & Mugs in beautiful hat boxes to match. Wonderful Gift Item!

New Christmas items are still rolling in!! Come stop by & find a new treasure to add to your collection!!

My Beautiful Fall Fairy!! She keep the wings & hat on all night!! This is a pic of the finished costume. I wanted to make her first halloween costume, I'm no seamstress, but I think it's adorable! Amazing what a hot glue gun & a little sewing can do......

My Baby Girl's costume

Halloween is almost here.....I have been working, in my spare time ( haha) on my baby girls costume. It still needs wings and she is a bit bald, so maybe a hat, but this is it so far ~

We did a little pumpkin pickin too.

Big Brother is always looking out for his little sister. "Don't eat it" was the advise he gave her!

I had to share this! This was just the cutest little baby pig at the pumpkin farm! All he did was dig holes & run like crazzy, but isn't he the cutest little thing you ever did see?? Its about the size of the cows nose!!

Wishing all a very Happy & Safe Halloween!!

Some pics from my Holiday Show

I have some Fall Items and added Orange Lights, looks great from outside too.

Funny how there was so little candy corn left at the end of the night.....

Just a bit of Blue, but all covered in Roses! LOVE my new chandelier too!! I haven't added that to my site yet, soon!
