My parents are moving next summer and the change is about to unearth one of my dirtiest little secrets...I love snow globes. I have a particular affinity for Disney snow globes and may have, oh somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 at my parents house. I know. They are horribly cheesy, but there's something about them that just makes me smile. All of the Anthropologie-inspired bottle brush tree snow globes that've made a comeback in the last year or so have made me happy as a clam (where the heck do phrases like that come from?) and I decided this year to try my hand at something … [Read more...]

DIY White Winter Wreath via SNAP

I am dreaming of a white Christmas... Which is not terribly far fetched considering I live in Utah and we've already had more than three feet of snow this season. What I am really looking forward to though is a home decorated with white - starting with a white winter wreath on the front door. This was a super-quick project (you know what a fan I am of quickie crafts) and soo inexpensive (like, dollar store priced). I started out with a regular grapevine wreath. I purchased it for about $6, but I see them at the dollar store all the time. I took it out on the deck and spray … [Read more...]
