Just Like Grandma Used Deux...

So I decided to make another Christmas tree portrait and go more towards OG Grandma style. Grandma used black velvet but I only had black silk but I figured it was close enough. My living room is decorated in the reds and blacks and silvers so I tried to stick with this theme. I actually was able to incorporate a vintage rhinestone necklace that I purchased for my wedding (but didn't actually wear).

The Continuation of our Disney Holiday...

 When Erikka and I were growing up we had special Santa hot chocolate mugs that we used every Christmas. I actually spotted reproductions at Pottery Barn this year

I was at the Disney Store yesterday and spotted these Minnie and Mickey hot chocolate mugs for Hayden and Stella and had to have them. I love passing down traditions to the kiddos.

Our Own Nightmare Before Christmas!

So the fam wants to have a Jack Skelington Christmas this year. My sister and I are "obsessed" with Halloween and we have subsequently passed this gene down to Hayden and Stella. They pretty much talk about Halloween year round and make several different costume changes throughout the year. They finally narrow it down in August or September and then it's ON!

The kids and I thought of this idea last year, but it will actually come to fruition (hopefully) in the days to come. My first project is some huge glass globe "Jack" heads. I bought glass globes, iridescent glitter, and a sharpie. Easy Peasy
