Homespun Holiday Countdown Day 14

 Hi y'all! Our sweet grandson was with us for a few days over the weekend, so we had time to do some fun, age appropriate crafts with him.  One of the crafts was making salt dough hand print ornaments. So easy, inexpensive and they always turn out so cute! I just searched for a recipe online that lined up with the ingredients I had in my pantry and we mixed up a batch. Once mixed, I rolled out the dough and let the hand printing begin! He really liked doing that and I had his attention long enough to get five! I cut away the excess dough away, poked a hole for a hanger and put them in the oven to dry. My recipe took about an hour at 300 degrees. After they cooled, I painted them on both sides with white acrylic paint. Then I finished the front of them with all of the details. You certainly could paint both sides if you wanted to. Once the paint was dry, I sprayed them with two coats of matte sealer. Super cute! Thanks for stopping by, Join me at a party or two: Favorite Things...

 Hi y'all! I'm here today with a tray vignette on my island. It would work on a buffet, coffee table or any flat surface as well. The fairy lights in the vintage oil lamp are super cozy at night.

 Hi y'all! I have always enjoyed planning and hosting parties, especially during the Christmas holidays. I like my invitations to set the tone of whatever party I'm having and I've recently started embellishing my invite envelopes to do just that. The invites below are for a Christmas cocktail party. I used dark green cardstock, trendy red velvet ribbon from Hobby Lobby, some Christmas greenery cuttings and a dimensional holiday sticker. They were so simple and inexpensive to put together with a little hot glue!
