You're never too old...

...for friendship necklaces. 

I have seen a lot of cute necklaces with the glass frames on them. They are just too cute to pass up! I had to make one for my friend and one for myself. They each say "Amie" which in french means, a "female friend." Since she loves hibiscus flowers and because she has such a big heart, I threw on some charms that seemed fitting. On the other side, I added a monogram for our first names which both start with "K."

These were so easy to make that I might have to make some more!

Fresh Christmas Garland

Since my husband and I are finally living back near our hometown, we decided to host Christmas Eve dinner. This will be the first time hosting a big holiday event since we have been married and we are so very excited! 

I love decorating with fresh garland. I love the smell and look of it. It gives such a welcoming feel.

Ahhh...Home.

The Garland features my Handmade Ornaments from the previous post.

Handmade Ornaments with Mod Podge

This is one of my favorite times of the year as I am sure it is most of yours as well. I love the old classic Christmas songs and the hot cocoa and all the lights! This season makes you feel like a giddy little kid again. =) Here are a few ornaments I made to add to my front door garland this year. Super easy to make but a bit time consuming. Directions are at the bottom.

I did these 2 different ways.
On the first ornament, I used an old book and tore the pages into pieces and glued them on with Mod Podge Matte.

OR

You can stamp images all over paper and then tear them into pieces and glue them on which is what I did for the snowflakes and Music note ornaments.

It is as simple as that.

Merry Christmas!

Bird & Twig Wedding Programs

Here is a set of wedding programs I made for a beautiful and talented Bride. She had fall colors including, reds, deep blues, coppers and golds. 

This program features copper wiring for the bird's feet and head feathers and gold embossing on the body of the bird. I chose a deep blue color for the font and the twig just added a touch of fall.

Congratulations to you both! <3
