Christmas Card

2010 Christmas Card and Happy 2011

"May Jesus always be your Joy, your Hope and your Song. And may this Christmas and each day of the New Year be directed by his guiding light. Merry Christmas and Happy 2011."

this Christmas...

Whenever I walk into my favorite gift shops around town (a thousand faces, anthroplogie, pangea...just to name a few) I get inspired to create. This Christmas I wanted to create that same feeling in my home so I decided to create most of my decorations

.

The mantel started out with a frame adorning Christmas cards, then I got this beautiful wreath to hang inside the frame. Blank canvas's are tied with ribbon, coffee table is covered in brown paper and company is encouraged to write/color/stamp all over the paper!! 

Antlers prancing in ornament earrings

stacked open books Christmas tree (from Real Simple)

candle lit muffin tin adorned with ornaments

Wine bottles wrapped with paper, upside down wine glass with candle on time and candle with lots of ornaments!

Merry Christmas! Love, Aunt Lily and Cord
