Historic Galena, Illinois

January 14, 2019

Dowling House in Historic Galena, Ilinois

For the past few years my family and I have spent our New Year's holiday in a very special place -- historic Galena, Illinois. I wrote about it once before in Our New Year's Visit To Historic Galena, Illinois  but that was a few years ago and I thought it was time for an update. The above photo is from that prior blog post.

It's A Wonderful Life: Bailey Bros. Building & Loan Sign

December 23, 2018

DIY Christmas sign farmhouse dining room decor

I know it sounds cliche but my absolute favorite Christmas movie of all time is It's a Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. I've loved it for as long as I can remember. That's why I'm so excited to share with you my DIY Bailey Bros. Building & Loan window sign that was inspired by the movie. I've wanted to make it for the past few years and this year I finally found just the right "window" frame for it.

Indoor Snowballs Easy DIY Christmas Craft

December 19, 2018

Whoever invented indoor snowballs should be given a medal. I mean, it's pretty much genius, right? No need to send the kids out into the cold winter weather. No need to dry all their socks, boots, hats and mittens after they've come inside. And better yet, you can even use them as Christmas decor that's guaranteed not to melt. And it's super easy. So there's still time for you to make this super cute DIY Christmas craft and enjoy it, or perhaps even gift it, over the holidays. Your own kids, grandkids, neighbors' kids, little nieces and nephews and friends will love you for it.

Plastic Jar Snow Globe Ornament With Bottle Lights

December 16, 2018

plastic jar ornament lid DIY Christmas snow globe

My absolute favorite Christmas DIY project is making snow globes. All kinds of snow globes. And this year I found a new version -- a plastic jar snow globe ornament. I'll admit it posed a challenge compared to some of my past DIY snow globes. But since this one was different than the others -- it was an actual jar with a lid that was also an ornament -- I was game to give it a try.

Vintage-Inspired Christmas Vignette With Bottle Brush Trees And Mini Deer

December 10, 2018

decorated spool bottle brush tree deer glitter

There's nothing cuter than a vintage-inspired mini Christmas scene to brighten up a spot on your mantel, side table or empty shelf. Displayed alone or with other holiday decor, it creates a magical winter wonderland you can enjoy all season long. My vintage-inspired Christmas vignette with bottle brush trees and mini deer is definitely one of those fun and easy DIY crafts that I know will be brought out, displayed and enjoyed year after year.
