A LITTLE LIKE CHRISTMAS

It's beginning to look A LOT like Christmas in downtown Langley at The Passionate Home.  Carrie and her elves have been busy decorating the store the last two days and it looks amazing!!!!

 These are some burlap stockings I made for the store.

Please join Carrie and her super elves, Elinor and Angela for a Christmas open house at The Passionate Home on Friday November 5 from 6-8pm.

STAR LIGHT, STAR BRIGHT

These are some little Christmas star ornaments I have been working on.  They are made from the pages of vintage books.

 Wish I could take the credit for coming up with this cute idea, but I saw something similar to it on Etsy by Paper Eclectiques Deux.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Happy day!

CHALLENGES

What gorgeous fall days we are having here on the West Coast.......

I have been dreaming of the simple days of summer this week so thought I would share some pictures I took at the lake this past summer.

Hoping that you are all having a great week.
