Gift Idea-

The Power of Arts & Crafts:


 We could make this for the Holidays or just for any occasion.
I made this one for my sister-in-law for this Christmas.

That's the main reason why I waited to post this 
idea up because I didn't want her to see it yet! Lol.

Is very simple but very memorable, and extra special.
Family to me means a lot.
And it means more when it's made with a lot of love.


Materials:
  • Picture Carousel- (I got this one in A.C. Moore)
  • 4 Pictures
  • Acrylic Paint- (Any color you desire, even texture spray paint would be nice)
  • Paint Brushes
  • Water- (To Clean the brushes)
  • A Knob- (This one didn't come with one so I decided to add one)
  • Hot Glue Gun- (I used this to seal where the pictures go inside so they won't slide off)
  • Sand Paper- (Just to make sure that there's no splinters coming out on the corners)



I really enjoyed working on this project.
It came out so beautiful.


I made this little video to show all the 4 sides of the carousel.
I love that it spins and you could see all 4 parts.

I hope everyone enjoyed this amazing and elegant idea.
May everyone have an amazing Christmas with their loved ones...

DIY Christmas Decoration for your Home -

Welcoming Christmas:

It's that time of the year where we all go
a little crazy on decorations for our home.
I kind of over did it but I love all of my decorations.
And mostly because I love Christmas!!!
And I get to do things as a Family.

 
On this post I will show all of the things I put together
for this amazing holiday.


I love the fact that my princess helped decorate our tree.
Family traditions are so amazing.
These moments are the ones we cherish the most.

Our tree this year was inspired by the Elf on the Shelf.

It's my first time putting a garland together. And I have to say
it came out pretty good.
Better than I envisioned lol.

I stood with the traditional colors because of the Elves,
And mostly because I kind of got tired of the other different 
colors of ornaments.

 It looks so much better when the sun hits it.
I fell in love with this piece...

Being that the Garland on the stairs turned out so well,
I had to put it on the entrance to my dinning room.
I love the bow, it's so easy to put together.

We cannot forget the wreath, because I feel that if there's no 
wreath involve then Christmas is not complete,
I love the Poinsettias is a flower that my 
Mom and Grandmother always bought for the holidays.
It made it so much more complete.


I added gold and the traditional mistletoe and I
have to say it looks amazing.

I had to add some decorations outside too.
I wanted to bring the Christmas spirit to my 
neighborhood because not everyone is putting anything outside
and let me just say it worked!!!
Mission Accomplished! :-)

I also made this simple tree for my Dining Room.
I got the styrofoam cone at Dollar Tree
and the Jaune Twine at Walmart.
Very inexpensive and very elegant.


I also added Jingle bells. You could add anything, you can even add 
Pom Poms if you like.


I got these stockings at Dollar Tree also,
and to me they looked kind of plain so I decided to 
sew our initials on them. And they look much better.


I hope you guys enjoy all of my different ideas for this 
amazing time of the year.

May everyone have a very beautiful and amazing Christmas
with your loved ones. And that your Holidays be full of Love and Joy!!!

Merry Christmas And Happy Holidays
from my family to yours...

Elf on the Shelf DIY Outfit-

Our Elf on the Shelf (Jimmy):

I will like everyone to meet our family elf,
My princess named him Jimmy!!!
He's been with us for 3 years now,
and my daughter adores him.

.

I wanted to get him an outfit but they were a bit
too expensive, so I decided to make one
of from felt fabric.
Trust me when I say it wasn't easy to make them,
but it was all worth it.


Lol I also made him his own personal sled!!!
This time of year is the best of them all.
We enjoy family time together and we stay to our 
traditions!


Everything is hand sewn.
I outlined him on the felt fabric to some how have an idea
on where to cut and sew.
It was fun creating an outfit from scratch.
And is UNIQUE.


"Jimmy" appeared on Thanksgiving day!
When she went down the stairs and saw him it was
a beautiful thing to see, she light up and was so excited.
These are the moments that we as Moms 
cherish the most.


We wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS
And HAPPY NEW YEAR.
And that your holidays be full of love and joy!!!
