I am so excited to finally have some “down” time. (It’s really a very busy time, but I am feeling a little more relaxed because the craft fairs are behind me.) So, today I spent time doing some things for myself.

I had a bunch of decor left over that didn’t sell, and instead of just finding a place to store it, I decided to use it throughout my house. The bad news is, I have fallen completely in LOVE with some of the pieces…antique framed mirror, to be exact.

I decided that I wanted a more subdued color pallet this year.  It will be mostly creams, whites, and silver with pops of red.

I wanted to also show you a quick project I did.  I always like to use the word “JOY” during the holidays, I think it such a pure word.  I had seen it done in large letters in Ballard, and kept thinking about it.  While at a craft store one day, I saw these and decided to make it happen!  😉

Don’t you see it??    With my mitter saw, I just chopped off part of the U and the line in the Q.  Then I sprayed them with a metallic silver spray paint and sprinkled them with glitter.   It took all of 10 min.  The better news is, they were on sale for $3 a piece.

My living room is coming along and I have started working on the dining room.  It needs some serious help!!  I will continue to update you on the progress.

I just wanted to remind you about the giveaway.  It ends tomorrow morning.
