Live for Each Moment Loves Buttons...

Remember My To Do List... Well I saw this purtty little Button Garland from
Ballard Designs For a set of 3, it is $30.00 for 9' of garland!

I loved this... I LOVE BUTTONS!!! I am SO CHEAP though. I really could not justify spending $30.00 for a garland. Even though now that I have completed the projects, this really isn't so bad. But I figured that I could make the same for nothing. I chose red, green and white for my tree. I have a huge stockpile of buttons and already had the string so I went to work.

String it then tie the back to make it stay... REally Easy but time consuming!

It looks really cute on the tree. I will show you my Finished tree Very Soon!

It would be really cute as the top string for a "Merry Christmas Garland"

Oh my Goodness, it is that time again... where we pack up and close the end of another fun and oh so exciting giveaway!!!
First before I announce the Very Very Very Lucky Winners, let me tell you what We have all learned from this Giveaway! There is not enough romancing going on underneath that sweet little mistletoe. So, in order for us to change this, I am including in each of the Winner's little treat bags... THeir very own mistletoe to use and enjoy this year.

I want to hear some fun stories!!! My cheeks are blushing already!
What a fun tradition to start.

Well Ladies, are you ready for the big reveal? There is one lucky lady out there who won the "Meet me under the Mistletoe" Vinyl sign in the colors shown.

The Winner of this one is...
Beautifully Inspired...
Her comment read...
"When my husband and I were just dating we were at a Christmas party and the hostess was walking around with the mistletoe in hand hanging it over the couples. We were sitting on the couch and the hostess came up to us and dangled the mistletoe over our heads... We went to kiss and all of a sudden her dog jump on our laps and licked me on the cheek.. Guess the dog thought the rules applied to him too!
Hows that for a story? Well truth be told I made it up.. I don't have any funny stories :(
Great giveaway though!

"I honestly have never been kissed under the mistletoe either. We've never had any at our house, but I guess if I had this decoration I might have to track some down:) Thanks! "

AND...Barbara Jean
"This is great! Love the phrase you chose. Please enter my name. =0))
as far as being kissed under the mistletoe, I do not think I have ever been!
So, I think being 61 years old, and married almost 41 years, I'd better remedy that. =0))
Thanks for the idea and the giveaway. =0)
blessings

Ballard Design inspired ornaments

Remember this post... My To DO List
One down... Many more to do...
I saw these Ballard Design ornaments

So Pretty and so easy... I love them!
I copied them and made them my own for my tree! I went with a country flair and even made a Holly Leaf in the same design. Lurrves it!
These are Mine!

I just drew out the pattern by looking at the shape in the picture.

I cut them out with an exacto knife and then I put the pages of an old yellowed book on the cutouts.


Distressed it with brown ink... Add some buttons and raffia

And hang on the tree. These look super cute with my other ornaments I have adorning the tree. I will have to show you what it looks like soon.

Many more copying to be done... I will for sure show you all!

I featured this on
