Nevermore

This is my blingy spin on the bleak and dreary poem "The Raven," in honor of Mr. Poe's birthday (January 19).

I'm a rather positive person and always look for the good in every situation, but learning the poem in middle school made an impression on me and I always felt a connection. To honor his memory, I made a little sign.

The word "Nevermore" is written in silver and is the raven's perch. The bird has a little bling for his eye. There are three black roses which tie in to the theme in a way you may or may not have not heard of before. For over 60 years a gentleman has gone to his gravesite and placed 3 roses and a bottle of cognac in his memory. The roses are for the 3 people that are buried at his gravestone (he, his wife and cousin). The roses are made of black material and have blingy embellishments.

The sign measures 7 inches wide by 5 inches tall and has a saw tooth picture hanger on the back.

2. Use paint markers to paint design on glass ball.

3. Attach ribbon/bow to top of ball.

4. Voila!

Newest Deco Mesh Wreath

The Argyle themed Christmas ornaments have been calling to me, since the first day I saw them in Hobby Lobby. The only thing is that I have nothing in my house that's pink and green. Therefore this wreath is really just for fun.

My Christmas Corner

I live in a decent size apartment, however it's still not big enough for the "mammoth" Christmas Tree my mom gave me a few years ago. So it sits in storage, lonely and wishing to be on display! :( 

As I was going to sleep recently I envisioned how I would set up my Christmas decor this year and here are some pics to show what I came up with.

I wish I could better capture how cute it is but I can say it looks better than I even hoped (in person at least). A few pictures....

The inspiration for my design theme and colors!

My dad drew this pic of The Grinch!

Framing and matting from Dollar Tree! $2 for this project!

Framed Quote from Dr. Suess' The Grinch!

Here's a "Grinchy" view of the center tree. It's a 4' White Tree with some really cute ornaments I've been collecting over the years.

Grinch Hat Tree Topper is from Universal Studios Grinchmas.

Red, Green & White circle garland (top of wall) is from after Christmas sale at Cracker Barrel.

Adorable snowman closeup....

On each side of the white tree is a vase with Christmas balls, a shiny tree and these awesome lighted globes!

Hope your Christmas is blessed and

full of love this year!

Cowboy sign for my daddy!

So, funny story....my dad almost burned down my parents kitchen/house by leaving something on the stove burner, left room and forgot and they ended up having to replace quite a bit in their kitchen. Thank God it was not a total loss and it gave my mom the excuse to upgrade a few things, like a new stove!

My mom then made my dad agree to not cook inside anymore. And he agreed to her request, BUT he did not agree to stop cooking. He invested in a new gas grill outside and paired with his charcoal smoker, he built his own little outdoor kitchen!

So I made him a kitchen warming present! And here it is!

Here are a few pics of my process and if you're interested how I got the letters on here, check out this blog for my inspiration:

Signs made with chalk outline

This is what the sign looked like after I had the chalk outline traced onto the sign.

 Final project again. I used a paint pen to outline the cowboy silouhette and I hand painted the white letters (which was the longest part of this project).
