All about CHRISTMAS!

OMG i just had to share this cool trick.. I just bought some cello wrap from the dollar store it has swirls white circles on it.. i put it up to the patio door window to see if it looked less 'bold' and my word.. it stuck to the window.. like window cling..
seriously go buy a roll in your favorite pattern(xmas or whatever) and stick it to your window.. the width is perfect size you just need to cut to the right length.. so much better than the plastic ones.

it covers your whole window so if your looking to create some privacy.. voila..

:notworthy: Now you KNOW I love that one, Natalka!!!! hahaha!!!

Also, that very pink dining-room setting...I recall my Mom making a similar netting Christmas tree; she just took yards of netting, cut them in different widths, gathered them and plopped them on top of each other on something...I don't recall what that was, but it was SO pretty! Love the pink!!!!

Made with battery operated tea lights!

Oh, good grief! LOL! I have a ton of those things around here! Would they ever be cute on gifts! I'm pretty sure Michaels would have those tiny hats...or a buck store...?

A Stampinup tutorial of one style...you certainly don't need a special cutter to cut out the toque..
In another tutorial, the gal glued a pin to the back, to make a broach...

Adult letter to Santa - fill in words, and it's generated. Mine is below...

http://www.wtv-zone.com/LadyBoheme/dearsanta.html

Dear Santa,
I have been a good girl.
It really wasn't my fault what happened at George's Christmas party. It was Milan who spiked the punch with too much magarita. I can't help it if I drank 7 glasses. It was so good---smelled and tasted just like lilac.
I thought it was funny when I put Angie's shorts on my head and danced the polka on the table while singing `I Will Always Love You'. I didn't mean to break George's android phone and don't know why George would sue me for murder.
I don't remember calling Elemir's wife a nasty pig---even though she looked like one with purple eye shadow and blue lipstick!
And when I threw up on Eufemia's husband's stomach, it was only because I ate too much of that perogies.
After all that fun, I admit I was a little tired. So I fell asleep on my way home and drove my van through my neighbor's bedroom. I don't think that was any reason for my neighbor to call me a classy cat and have me arrested for burglary!

So, Santa...here I sit in my jail cell on Christmas Eve, all intelligent and crafty. And I'm really not to blame for any of this sweet stuff. Please bring me what I want the most---bail money!
Sincerely and lovely yours,
Nat (Really a nice girl!)
P.S. It's only 73 bucks!

I did found a cute way to make this:

I made these a few years ago, super easy and beautiful.Be prepared to buy a lot of coffee filters!!Costco was the best bet. I soaked mine in tea and tossed them in the dryer and they came out beautifully, people actually wil walk up to the door to see what they are made of!!I want to try one out of book pages..think I am running out of time for this year though!

Oh, TG, I love the book pages ones and have always wanted to try making one; but like you said, if we had all the time in the world we might get through our "wish list" of crafts...unfortunately, we have only 36 days, 12 hours, 53 minutes and 44 seconds left!!:yikes:
