How To: Make a Homemade Snow Globe. As Kate so delicately alluded to earlier this week, I am somewhat of a holiday junkie.
And Christmas is the holiday of all holidays for me. I decorated a week before Thanksgiving; yep, I’m one of those people. One of my most favorite holiday traditions as a child was our little family advent calendar and now that my kids are old enough to enjoy some fun and creative activities, I’ve filled up our little numbered stockings with slips of paper instead of candy.
Acorn Christmas Tree! In our den, next to our Dear Santa frame is this fun Acorn Christmas Tree!
I cam across the BIGGEST acorns ever while tailgating at a football game this fall... and yes, I got a grocery bag and started picking the up... TONS of them. (Yes, people were looking at me like I was NUTS - pun intended!) I bought a cone from Hobby Lobby and began to hot glue the acorns on starting at the base of the cone, working my way up.

I grew up amongst canvasses and paint brushes, music notes and instruments.
There was always someone creating art or music around me and that is perhaps why I often refer back to my library of childhood memories when doing crafts. While doing this craft, I reminisced about a time sitting by my father's feet and creating with him. As I turned each page of the book, I heard his wild stories and funny jokes which will always be archived in my heart. During a recent visit to a local Urban store, my eye caught something that reminded me of my dad and his 'crazy' creations.
They were simple frames covered in newsprint along with tote bags and baskets weaved from old magazines.
