Christmas Past Projects and Fun

I've only been blogging for one Christmas season, but thought I would 

share a few of last years posts.

DIY Christmas Tree Shaped Topiary

We made an ivy topiary from a tomato cage. This year it has filled out so much, 

can't wait to put some fairy lights in it for the holidays.

Inside I shared some DIY cookie trays.

DIY Making Tiered Cookie Trays

Loving vintage I tried a NEW/OLD Christmas Tin Tree. 

This was great for hiding real sweets in over the holiday season.

Vintage Christmas Kitchen

Christmas in the old kitchen.  Goodness, I hung the Jule Nisse stitchery to hide the ugliness of the  beat up cabinets. How short is a year after a remodeling?
