Holiday Hoosier

Hello everyone! I always dress up my hoosier for Christmas and I think this year turned out so cute, I know the grands will love it.
I found this idea for a Cloche with Santa mugs inside of it, easy peasy to do when you don’t have time to do anything but work and watch kids.

So let me tell you I was so happy to see this on Pinterest because I thought “Hey, I can do this” Although my mugs are bigger and from the Dollar Tree this one looks to be a taller cloche plus they used a white plate instead I used my one and only silver tray!

This is from Flickr.com
Very cheery don’t you think? Shows up so well against the hoosier too!

The bottle brush tree and the Santa are from the fleamarket, the Santa was given to my youngest from a dealer when he was about 4 years old. I’ve kept ever since, now my youngest is 32!

I brought down my scale from a top my kitchen cupboards and gathered my little collection of S&P’s which I collect just for the holidays, I’m still looking for more to add to it.

Silent Night…Holy Night

Debbiedoo’s Copy Cat!

Well, you know me, when I do a copy cat it’s always Pottery Barn, just can’t get enough of their catalogs, but their prices are just to high for me! Just watch out if I ever hit the Power Ball though (which I don’t play but hubby does ) lol. Anyway, here is the page I copied.

This is as close as I got it! I got the brainy idea to buy a dropcloth at Lowe’s for $21.00 instead of PB’s $99.00 one! Brought it home and washed it and it did make the dropcloth really soft. I may bleach it next time it goes in the wash.

I’m a little disappointed in it but it sure isn’t blue anymore and does brighten up the room. Now for a new rug:) My husband doesn’t want to hear about that. Ha!



I’ll tell you about the picture above the couch in another post that I did today!

Spring Copy Cat Party!

Hello Peeps, it’s time once again for DebbieDoo’s Spring Cop Cat Challenge! Between these copy cat parties I’m always on the look out for a good Copy cat, I usually do that with my Pottery Barn Catalogs but this time I chose my Ballard Designs catalog to copy from, it’s on page 85 if you want to take a peek. A few months ago I had bought a .99 cent bulletin board at GW and there it sat until I could figure out what I wanted to do with it, then I saw this page and knew this was how I’d do it!

Mine measures 17x23 and I figured I made it for roughly about $3.99 , theirs however cost $49.00 for a 15x20 smaller than mine! I added my own take on it by using a black ribbon to hang it with. Also the little girl’s picture is me taken in Kindergarten

I have to get some push pins so for now I’m using straight pins, Ballards has them for $18.00 for 12 but I think I’m going to go on Etsy and look.

Took me about a half an hour to do as far as stapling the burlap to the back and I also used a yard stick to try and keep the nail heads even! I had a picture of everything before I started on it but accidently deleted it on my camera..darn!


Sort of wasn’t into this because today is my mom’s birthday and I sure was missing her.
