Christmas Sneak Peek!

Sure it's started looking a lot like Christmas......why not its only a week away. Finally my Christmas tree is also up....not that big one rather its a tiny one made out of something that you can't even think of.

Actually I've never ever celebrated Christmas in this way like decorating tree and making wreaths but this time I wanted to let my kid know that how diverse is our Indian culture, how colourful and bright is every festival here and how people from different casts and religion come together and celebrate every festival with great enthusiasm. :-)

My lil' one is also very keen to know about different countries and their culture. So I involved him in process that's going on in my home for Christmas, from making wreath to decorating tree he helped me out. Now he has started dreaming about gift he will going to recieve from Santa who will come riding his sleigh with all that Tinga-linga-ling & ho ho ho on Christmas night.

Well here's what my lil' one and I did for Christmas.............

Wreath made of paper Quilling and beans........

Tree made out of used broom (pardon me). We coloured it green then glued red beans and silver glitter. Filled a pot with silver bolls made of foil and placed tree in it.

Some more images of Christmas vignette.

Hope you liked this craft idea.

My MacKenzie Childs Inspiration Christmas Tree 2011

I was lucky enough to find a pre-lit 5 foot Christmas Tree in a big red pot after Christmas last year while shopping at Marshall's. Don't you just love that place?

It was $50 and the only flaw was a small chip on the bottom edge of the pot. No worries, an opportunity for creativity right?

I am a huge fan of MacKenzie Childs and their Courtly Check design, I decided to paint the base of the red

Christmas 2011 Outside

We are short! I am just under 5 foot tall and hubby is 5'4". What can I say?

We were talking in line when God was giving out height?  
So, this year, we didn't use a ladder and decorated low.  However, our house sits up on a slight hill and when you view it from the street, it doesn't look all low. Were we successful?


My new spiral tree





My version of our address painted 'Artsy' on a rock.

Christmas 2011 Shade Tree!

I have been dying to show you my Christmas Shade Tree.

Yep, it's made from lampshades and It is just so fun. My hubby just  tolerates it though. I guess it's not his cup of tea, but he is kind enough and has learned to allow my creativity even though sometimes he just doesn't get it.


If you recall, earlier this summer during one of my Diamonds In The Rough! posts, I shared with you my find of

When stars descend on earth...

...yes it is that time of the year again:-)

My home gets transformed into a little winter wonderland when tiny angels, snowmen and elves jump out of old shoe boxes and take their place in the spotlight.

Today they definitely made their presence felt...

To accomplish this, I purchased large frames at garage sales and thrift stores during the summer. I then spray painted them red and white. The huge ornaments came from Sam's Club and the green shimmer decor came from various shops after Christmas sales at the Lake of the Ozarks where we spend New

Swag no more!

I purchased 5 custom made and unused swags at a garage sale for only $5 total! I knew that I could do something fun with them. This is one of the swags. See the pretty tassel trim? And the deep red fabric is very nice too.

I realized that they would make awesome pillows. It took a bit more than one swags worth of tassel trim to make an 18 inch square pillow. Which means that I was able to make
