Five on Friday: Spark of Loves this Week (and winner of the Girls' Life Giveaway)

Another Friday, yippee!  Can you believe that Christmas is only five days away?  Where in the world did the year go.  I am super excited about this year though because my son will be celebrating his tenth Christmas.  How exciting is that?  He is such a cool little dude!  I can't wait for him to see what Santa has left for him this year under our tree.  

But before I rush Christmas, it's still Friday, December 20 and here are my Five on Friday.



1.  These Chocolates.

Because they came from the local candy man and they are delicious.  

2.  This Christmas Card.

Because it was the first one of the season and it came all the way from New Zealand from a special friend.

3.  These Fruit Leathers.

Because we made them and they were absolutely delicious!

4.  This DIY Box.

Because it came from Darby Smart and it made my day!

And the winner of the Darby Smart and Girls' Life Honor Giveaway......
Congratulations Ashley E.!  I will contact you via email with details!

5.  This Bed Foundation.

Because it is finally one that is working with our tiny loft-type bedroom upstairs.  More on this later.

12 days of Christmas pinspiration (day six)

Day Six:

Seed Bead Ornaments
from South North South


What you'll need:

1,000+ glass seed beads of different colors.
Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Hemp Twine, or wire...00
Star design cut-out or plastic made ornament.

Using a plastic ornament design, or hot-gluing your own design freehand, start by using one straight line at a time.  Draw a line of hot glue along the ornament then top with seed beads in the color of your choice.  Keep working around the ornament until you complete the entire piece.  You want to work with one line at a time, so that the glue won't dry before you add the seed beads.  Allow the ornament to dry completely and dust off any loose seed beads.  Attach some twine and hang.

12 days of Christmas Pinspiration (day four)

Day Four:

Tiny Trees
from:  Family Chic



What you'll need:

1.  Corks
2.  Glue
3.  Clippings from artificial garland
4.  Small screw hook

Use the small screw hook to create a hole in the corks.  Place a small amount of glue inside the hole.  Clip small "tree-like" cuttings from the artificial garland.  Place the small cuttings into the holes.  You can even give the little trees a trim to make them take the shape of actual trees.  If you want to change out the cuttings from time to time, don't use any glue.

Be sure and visit Family Chic to learn about other DIY crafts you can do this season to brighten your holidays.
