Awesome Things Tuesday Blog Hop!

We had some super fun projects link up this past week! It was hard to decide on which one I wanted to feature! In the end I decided that I wanted to feature the wonderful Hipster Thanksgiving Photo Props from the Crafty Lumberjacks! (#1 on the collage below!)

These put a smile on my face, and added a little more fun to an otherwise tame holiday! Definitely a fun idea if you ask me! Be sure to go check out the Crafty Lumberjacks and show them some love!

It's Beginning To Look a Lot Like Christmas!

Okay, maybe not QUITE Christmas yet. I'm one to respect the turkey!

But with my maternity leave drawing to a close the week of Thanksgiving, and the first of 2 Christmas parties that we are hosting at the house a mere 3 weeks away, it's definitely time to start thinking about decor. This is the first year I have a place that I am proud to host a party at! And I cannot wait to decorate my Christmas here at our home.

I'm a big advocate of wall art. Blank walls make me cringe. Things are meant to be put on walls. Wall decor at the store costs a fortune though! Using nothing but free for personal use fonts and free cliparts via google, I can change my wall decorations as often as I'd like, and not pay an arm and a leg.

I make printables for every holiday or occasion, and I frame them and hang them as I see fit. I've been playing around and coming up with different printables in different colors and styles.
