Giveaway for Fun Family Christmas Advent Book

 OK friends, so my wonderful mother (who helped with this before and after project) actually wrote this book!  I told her I’d be delighted to review it and she said she’d be happy to give one of my readers a free copy!


A fun filled Christmas Advent Book

It’s titled “Fun Family Christmas Devotions”  Subtitle “Advent Guide for Busy Parents”  ummmm yep, that’s me!  As I am sure it’s most people, young and old…..

It has some very fun Christmas craft ideas (hey, my craftiness has to come from someone – right?) Sheep sugar cookies, and a faux gingerbread nativity (in which my daughter told me was SO MUCH FUN) are just a few. 




It even comes with a classical music Christmas CD.  (dare I tell you that I am on that CD playing violin and singing??)

This picture of my son cracks me up! 

A lot of the book talks about the true meaning of Christmas and that the word “Advent” actually means the coming or arrival (of the birth of the Christ-child) With the book she shows you how to easily set up an advent centerpiece and join the tradition of the church through the ages.  Of course along the way you also build family traditions and nurture faith in your children (or grandchildren’s) heart!

Make Large Canvas Wall Art Out of An Old Map

Image
One of my favorite things about thrift store decorating is finding something unexpected and giving it a new life. When I came across an old vintage map, I immediately saw the potential for unique wall art. Instead of leaving it tucked away, I cut it into sections and mounted it onto canvases to create a custom piece full of character and history. If you love decorating with vintage finds and creating budget-friendly home decor, this simple DIY project might inspire your next thrift store makeover. I had previously picked up an old slightly laminated MAP from the same thrift store for a few dollars. I began to wonder what I could do with my map???? Tick tock, tick tock, my creative juices were coming……. Ah Ha!  My son needed something on his wall in his room and since that is where I put the globe how about matching wall art!  I went to Michaels and picked up a bunch of canvases at 40% off.  I traced around the canvas and cut out each rectangle.  The ov...

Pottery Barn Knockoff–Distressed Clock Decor

Image
Ahhhhhh Pottery Barn.  The gorgeous pictures, the GIANT price tags.  If only we could re-create for less everything we see in that magazine.  Well today’s post will give that a try  – Pottery Barn for under $10.00.  Yep, that’s right, this next project cost me around 6 bucks.  When I was at the thrift store I spotted this lonely round board.  It was almost 2 feet around, insanely heavy and covered in laminate but I thought hummmm……this has some CLOCK potential!  So I bought it for a whopping $1.50. Here is the lovely BEFORE picture: And here is the AFTER: Now how I got there.  :-) First I distressed the plastic and wood by sawing the edges, hammering the center, and quickly sanding the entire circle.  I didn’t spend a lot of time doing this because I had another idea to help with the distressing which you’ll see in the next few steps. Next step was to figure out the best way for me to put on the Roman Numer...
