Rustic Wire Angel

On this Christmas Eve day, I'd like to take a short moment
to send you and your family joyful Christmas greetings!
And show you this rustic wood and wire angel gift.

Bird in a Nest Embroidery Hoop Ornament

Last week I showed you a button snowflake I made with a wooden embroidery hoop.

Today I'm sharing another embroidery hoop project.

This time, a turquoise bird sits in a nest in front of some greenery

with a snowy-white frame.

Perfect for the bird-lover at Christmas time!

Framed Twig Tree

This framed twig tree is rustic and was nearly free for me to make.

If you have an unused frame sitting around, no matter what size,

then you could easily make this for virtually no cost, too!

At Home for Christmas

This post brought to you by At Home. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Denise... On a Whim.

I am the first to admit that I love, love, LOVE Christmas decorations!

When I heard about a store called At Home, and found out there was one in my area,

I jumped at the chance to check it out!

First I texted my friend, Michelle, to see if she'd want to go shopping with me.

Turns out, At Home is a store she totally loves so she said YES and we made a date!

Log Slice Reindeer

I asked a friend of mine to cut some log slices for me a short time ago.

When I got a pile of them, these misshapen logs reminded me of reindeer.

The rings in the logs had naturally formed a nose so I saw it pretty easily.

I thought I'd try it out and I love them!

A Christmas Gallery Wall

I always decorate the wall in my dining room for the holidays.
This year, I began with a large chalkboard I had made out of a mirror frame.
From that, my dining room wall became a Christmas Gallery Wall!

Twig Stars

 Ready for a sneak peak at my Christmas Gallery Wall?
Today I'm sharing these twig stars
hanging in a vintage frame.

Wooden Angel

A few weekends ago, I had a craft show in my hometown.
It was amazing and I nearly sold out.
It was a 3-day show, so on the morning of the 2nd day,
I was desperately looking through my stuff to figure out
what I could quickly make to restock my booth a bit.
I came up with this wooden angel.

Cake Pan Snowman Chalkboard

We're in full-out winter now here in Michigan.
I am not excited.
But it certainly does make it a bit easier to get working on Christmas projects.
Today's project is a new snowman I made from cake pans.

Insulator Snowmen Ornaments

It's certainly not easy for me to get in the Christmas mood

at the beginning of November.

Especially when I'm dreading cold weather and snow.

But, as a crafter and blogger, I had to suck it up and get my Christmas on!

And what better way to do it than with a fun repurpose!

Wishing you the Best in 2014!

As 2013 comes to a close and we prepare to usher in a new year, I just want to let you in on a little secret...

Merry Christmas to All!

May you all have a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones!

Christmas Tree Card Holder from an Old Rake

Christmas Eve greetings to you all! And, speaking of greetings, I'm going to share just one more Christmas project with you all before the big day! I've always wanted a good place to put my Christmas cards and now I finally have one. An old rake turned Christmas tree is the perfect spot for hanging my greeting cards!

The Lowell Showboat at Christmas

The Lowell Showboat is a great historic landmark in our town. It's what Lowell is known for. But at Christmas, it turns into something magical...

Vintage Santa and a Soda Crate

Today I'm sharing a sweet little vintage Santa Claus that's been in my family since I was a child.

Crochet Thread Snowmen

I picked up some spools of crochet thread at the thrift store the last time I was there knowing they were the perfect makings for some more snowmen!

Christmas Countdown Dollar Store Project {and a Printable!}

My kids are always asking me, "how many days until {insert event here}?" So when I saw a clever countdown sign, I knew I had to recreate it! This version uses a frame from the dollar store and a printed graphic behind the glass. Cheap and easy. My favorite kind of project (especially with the hustle and bustle of the holidays!).

Joy~Peace~Love

I love it when I find great frames for cheap. It gives me the perfect excuse to make another burlap sign, like the Christmas version I'm sharing today.
