Merry Christmas...good news of great JOY...

 



...Do not be afraid.  I bring you good news of great...

 

 

 

 

...that will be for all the people.

Luke 2:10

 

 

 

 

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.  And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6

 

Merry Christmas my friends...

Enjoy every minute with those you love.  I know I am...in fact, don't look too closely at those first pictures...you might "spy" some toys and/or discarded packaging in the mirror :)  I figured you would understand...maybe your house looks similar??  My home is a "glorious" Christmas mess right now...and we are all 4 still in our jammies...shhhh!! ;)

 

Blessings,

"Sweet" Wreath...re-visited for Fall

You might remember I have a "thing" for turning bake ware into wreaths...

 Here's the "Sweet" Spring Wreath I made out of a jello mold March of 2011.

And here's the odd unique one I made out of a Bundt pan and book pages...that same Spring.

"Losin' it" Spring Wreath

When I saw this chippy orange Bundt pan it reminded me of a pumpkin :)

A little twine...

...some book page leaves, a real leaf and an old clothes pin pulls/holds it all together.

Couldn't resist :)

How is the fall decorating coming at your house??

I have to admit, I haven't done much here.  I've got something else "cooking up"...I'll share more next week.  Can't wait!!

Chat Soon,

O.K-Cup Storage Stand

My family gave me a Keurig coffee maker for Christmas...and I love it...but how to store all those little cups has been a dilema.  I know they sell those handy little stands.  But you know I would want something a little bit "junky-er" right?

So this is what I finally came up with...

I got my inspiration for this little project from some other cool layered pan stands I've seen out there in Blogland like...

This tiered pie pan stand at Mamie Jane's

and

This "really big" cupcake stand over at Homeroad

Thanks for the inspiration ladies!!

You should definitely "hop" over and peek at their versions...and all of their other very CLEVER ideas while you are at it :)

I had a couple of these old cake pans in a couple of different sizes.

This spindle-y stool leg fit perfectly in the metal tubes in the cake pans...meant to be??

The glass handle is a curtain rod finial which I attached with "Amazing Goop" glue...

LOVE this stuff :)

I actually used it to attach the "Lazy Susan" to the bottom too...just call me "Lazy Laurel" ;)

I was thinking about adding labels to the little slots...but I really don't want to cover up any of that fun writing.  I think my guests will figure it out, don't you?

(And yes, my assortment of flavors is a "little excessive...I know.  I went a little crazy when I first got it...trying to pick a favorite :)

Looks kind of "cozy" there on my counter doesn't it?  But if I ever get my little "studio" that I've been dreaming of...

I think it would be great for these little paint bottles too...don't you?

(Side note...I have no idea why my pictures upload sideways sometimes???  Do you?)

Well anyway...
