Every Christmas I am looking for a fun way to display my Christmas cards and thought I would share with you some of the ideas I found across the web. These Christmas card holders are so clever and pretty easy to create.
Recycled Leather Office Chair
By 18 Comments
Hello Everyone! I recently recycled an older leather office chair into a more colorful and fun craft room chair using spray paint.
I’ve had this chair for years and love how comfortable it is, but it just didn’t match the retro vibe I am going for in my craft room. I debated a long time about what to do with this chair. I wasn’t sure if I could recover it and I even wondered if I should just replace it, but then decided I would just paint it! The spray paint can says it will cover vinyl and plastic, so then I thought “why not leather”. Paint is one of my very good friends and I use spray paint all the time; I just knew that it would be worth a try and my gamble paid off. Leather can be spray painted! Yay!
Picnic Basket Tutorial

When the weather starts getting warmer I start dreaming of all the fun things I love doing when the weather is warm. One thing is going to the canyon or park and having a picnic.
When I was young my mom had a picnic basket made from a bushel basket and brings back so many good memories, so I decided I wanted one, too. I love how big this basket is and that it can hold so much. It has several pockets that are perfect for holding just about anything you need.
Here’s how I made mine:
Recipe Gift Idea
By 9 Comments
I’ve been putting some thought into some Valentine’s Day gifts for the special people in my life. I think giving a small token of love is important on this fun day. Candy, or in my case chocolate, is always good, but how about giving a sentimental gift? They mean so much and are kept forever. For Christmas my daughter gave me this beautiful necklace of my son’s handwriting. It truly means so much to have this precious and sweet gift and will be something I will treasure forever. It has motivated me to put even more thought into the gifts or tokens of love I give.
I have a few recipes that were my grandmother’s that I treasure. I love the aged edges and that they are in her handwriting. Do you have keepsakes like this? Maybe some old journals or letters from a grandparent? Wouldn’t framed copies of your items make perfect gifts for your loved ones?
