Top 12 of 2012

2012. In just a matter of hours it'll be over. How about a look back at the top posts of the year?

Paint Chip Brooches

Last last-minute project of the year! We'll be heading down to the beach tomorrow afternoon to ring in the New Year. Since it'll be freezing cold down there, we'll be bundled up instead of dressed up. To add a bit of glam {and glitter} to our NYE outfits, I made these simple Paint Chip Brooches:

Grab your quick-drying glue, glitter, and a couple of coordinating paint chips and we'll get started!

Insta Replay - Christmas Edition

Your mind is not playing tricks on you, it is in fact Thursday but why not have a belated Inta Replay Monday anyhow? Especially when the goods include all of our Christmas Cheer.

Enjoy!

Quinn bear. Jack the Elf & Santa. Milk & cookies for Santa

Presents under our tree. The Mr & I at The Nutcracker. Enjoying the snow!

Christmas breakfast. Winter wonderland. White Christmas. The Mr. and our nephew.

Did you post any holiday themed photos to Instagram? If so, follow me so I can check them out!

Thank You Card Printable

After a day like yesterday, I'm sure we all have a lot to be thankful for. What better way to end The 25 Projects of Christmas than with a Thank You card?

Feel free to print one out for you or the kids to use this holiday season.

Merry Christmas!

Today is truly a day for joy, laughter, love and togetherness. While I did my best to remain wireless for the past few days, I wanted to take a minute to wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas and blessings galore in 2013. 

I hope your holiday was full of all things merry and miraculous. And to quote my favorite Christmas tale, Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Our Christmas Party Spread

Tonight we will be having 30+ of our closest friends and family over for a holiday shindig and I could not be more excited. I'm a little stressed too but I can't help it... we haven't had people over since our rehearsal BBQ last year... geez! I thought that sharing our menu for the night would be an ideal second to last post of The 25 Projects of Christmas. 

How To: Perfect Felt Bow {no sew!}

I finally wrapped a present. Yes, *one* present. Later tonight I'll wrap all of them but until then, I wanted to share project number twenty-three of The 25 Projects of Christmas: a tutorial for how to make the perfect felt bow. This can be used as a super simple gift topper, a brooch, or a hair accessory.

All you need is a small scrap of felt (double the width of the size bow you want) and a glue gun. I think we can all manage those few things.
