Christmas Goodies!

I finally got pictures of my Christmas projects made!

My mother found these blank journals in her storage and I decorated one for Christmas.

I used scrapbook paper and a packs of premade stickers and embellishments but I still think it is very cute.

Back cover. My nephews had drawn on them with marker so they had to be covered. It was fine I like how it all worked.

Inside front cover. I found a great stamp set and this is of the beginning of the Night Before Christmas.

This is more Victorian but I had to use it.

Inside the back cover. The song is Silent Night. It was on some great paper I got.

This was my first project. I do so like Santa!

I am a great gluer! hehe

I love the simple things that I can do in one sitting. I have never been good at long term projects. Guess I’ll work with what I’ve got!

I was excited to find this wreath! I used my artificial one on the advent wreath so I was glad to find a real one for $8!!

It is too fat and the storm door smashes it. But It sure smells good when you walk in and out the door!!

It is in the 30’s here for another day. I love the cold. I am so glad we got cold because the storm here in the east really didn’t give the Raleigh/Durham area anything to write about.

I hope it stays cold through next week. I don’t really like a warm Christmas.

Merry Christmas!

Hugs, Lisa

  3. Glad you're enjoying the cold! I love your wreath - I bought an artificial one this year and I must say I miss that whiff of pine going in and out the door.

    Your projects are wonderful, Lisa!

  12. Super cute projects, Lisa! The journal is so sweet!

    I'd love a real wreath! Growing up in the forrest of Washington state, I never had even heard of a fake wreath until I moved to Texas! I thought they were soooo tacky! Ha! They don't bother me now but I would still rather have a real one! ♥
