It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas--well at Memory Bound, anyway. This is our big weekend of Holiday ideas--and believe me, if you don't get in the spirit and get plenty of fun craft and decorating ideas in the process---well, I don't think you'll ever get in the mood!
It is so neat to see all the things we all have been working on (like little elves), all coming together in one display. One of my last minute creations was the Santa hanging below. I love those chipboard letters (which we do not carry, but I had on hand) and a new Melissa Frances paper line (yes, we do have that), I filled this 12 x 12 shadow box with "Santa".
I got the idea for decorating the letters from a post I saw on pinterest. (THanks Bonnie K. for pinning it!)
As the display was set up, my calendars, a chipboard frame I decorated, and my Santa Hanging all ended up in a group.
Across the isle on another table, my Santa Countdown (now in kits and selling very well) is on a table with bright typical red and greens displays. There's a CD calendar made of envelopes--very cute--and I wish I could give credit to it's creator--but I'm not sure who had this very cute idea. My wreath is there and my ribbon CD calendar. Above that is another one with adorable little doors to hide treats behind, also made by one of the other girls.
Below is a very awesome tree, all covered in some of the most unique handmade ornaments and banners ever. I made a lot of the sizzix ones (shown on an earlier post.) Diane, our manager, made the banners which are awesome and there are socks and a variety of other decorations made by some of the other girls! I want a tree like this this year. It doesn't even have lights on it and it's amazing!
Below is my garland on display.
and then last night, I whipped out this cute little favor set (also a pinterest idea)! They were so easy, and look so cute filled with candy.
Across from them, are 3 more of my calendars on display.
It's surprising what a few pieces of scrap wood can produce in the way of decorations. Maggie even has a tree made from blocks of wood that is fantastic.
and then my cookie sheet CD calendar---
and my muffin tin CD calendar
There are over 100 ideas, most of them very easy to accomplish, tons of kits with everythng in them, and so, so , so many ideas. It's only something like 50+ days til Christmas--so give us a visit the next couple of days and get a start on a lot of fun ideas.
Earlier tonight , I took the girls out (Ella and Lily) and there was the prettiest, spookiest, halloween orange moon out--this picture does not due it justice. It was perfect for Trick or treating--just a night to late. So with an orange moon lighting the landscape, I say good night all---see you at MB tomorrow to sing Christmas carols with us and enjoy all the sights of the Holiday! Sleep tight.
