Time for some DIY

I love a good thrift find,

and Amanda at Hand Me Down House has the cutest DIY

project using some frames that she found at her local thrift store.

I can't wait to find some frames of my own and give this project a try. What great Christmas or housewarming gifts!

I was even thinking about putting a black & white or sepia photo in one of the frames. So many options.....

Christmas in the blogosphere

As you know, I love DIY projects. While surfing through the web today, I found lots of fun and crafty projects to help decorate la maison with holiday flair.

First is this great stocking idea from Jane at Out of the Crayon Box. She gives all of the how-to on the project, plus she uses upcycled items! That scores super high marks in Jelly's grade book. Be sure to stay and look around her blog...she has lots of fun stuff.Photo courtesy of Out of the Crayon Box

Next is the fun 'snowing' effect that I have on my blog. Miss Megan at Shabby Blogs graciously gives out the html so that you, too, can have a virtual winter wonderland.Click here to see how to download

If you're like me, you're blog is your home away from home. Why not decorate here, too? Visit Miss Karen at Background Fairy and download some of her fun holiday freebies.

Do you have a fun Holiday DIY on your blog, or on a blog that you've visited?
I'd love to hear about it!
