The following post is from Janel of Life with Lucie and Ella.: It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! It is so much fun to decorate for the holidays, but you don't need a huge budget to fill your home with pretty decorations. Scrapbook paper is inexpensive and can be used to make so…
The following post is from Myra of My Blessed Life: Decorating for Christmas doesn't need to be expensive or time consuming. I was at a craft store a few weeks ago and spotted some adorable subway-art-like Christmas scrapbook paper. I picked up two sheets for $0.30 each. Combined with an inexpensive frame from a yard…
Our tree topper is actually a sweet cherub angel we've had since we got married that I won't let my husband replace (no matter how tiny she looks on top of our 9' Christmas tree!), but when I started making paper star ornaments back in September, I had a feeling that a big paper star…

We love bringing in elements of the season with this silver dish that sits on a shelf in our kitchen. In the spring and summer it holds sea shells we've collected from various beaches, and in the fall we fill it with pinecones. Although pinecones are beautiful just as they are, you can also dress…
