Elf for President

Lincoln Elf on the Shelf via lilblueboo.com

“With malice towards none, with charity for all…..”

Maybe the elf isn’t so bad…..

A few more photos….and I’m thinking I may need to retire him….I don’t want to be associated with Elf on the Shelf my whole life.

The really sad part? I’m hoping Boo doesn’t remember about the Elf this year!

Maybe I’ll do one more installment…..any special requests?

Michaels Dream Tree Challenge – The Finished Tree

A few weeks ago Michaels asked me to be a part of their Holiday Dream Tree Challenge…..of course I jumped at the chance because I love Michaels and I love a challenge!   I finished up my Dream Christmas Tree for Michaels Dream Tree Challenge…..and made a little HD “process” movie to accompany it!  Here’s a peek at the ornaments I made that you’ll see in the movie:

(Update: I had a few questions on equipment and software I use to film and edit HD videos…..click here for my list and FAQ!)

Michaels Dream Tree Challenge – The Sneak Peek

Aren’t these little guys cute? They are the inspiration behind my tree for the Michaels Dream Tree Challenge.  (click here to see my inspiration board here!)

 

Michaels Stores sent me one of their pre-lit trees and I had one week to decorate it using supplies and decorations from their store.  You know I love a challenge, so after I stocked up on the little woodland critters above I started browsing the store for more inspiration.   A few things I’ve incorporated into my tree:

Holiday Potpourri:

 

Wood craft pieces:

 

Metallic garland:

 

Burlap and tiny wreaths:

A Santa Nesting Doll (Free Download)

I made this Santa Matryoshka doll image last Christmas for a free download through Facebook and completely forgot about it until I was cleaning up some files on my computer tonight! Click below to download this image to make a few last minute gifts, holiday outfits or thank you notes! I used it last year for a few t-shirts by printing it out on iron-on transfer paper.
