Reversible Thanksgiving and Christmas Farmhouse Sign

I wish there was more time between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It seems like no matter how hard I try, Thanksgiving always gets overshadowed by Christmas preparations and anticipation of the holiday season. As a blogger, I’m decorating for fall at the end of August and as soon as Halloween is over, it’s time to break out the Christmas projects. Poor Thanksgiving just gets the short end of the stick! That’s why I decided to make a double-sided farmhouse style sign with a Thanksgiving sign on one side and a Christmas Tree farm sign on the […]

Even if you haven’t set a deadline for yourself, it’s definitely a good time to really get serious about your Christmas gift planning – especially if you are hand making some of your gifts. I think all too often handmade Christmas gifts get a bad […]

DIY Greatest Showman Costumes: PT Barnum

Are you a fan of The Greatest Showman? Here are all the details on our DIY Greatest Showman Costumes, including the pattern I used to make the PT Barnum tailcoat for my 4 year old son. My kids both adore the movie, The Greatest Showman – in fact, it’s one of very few movies that they both genuinely love.

Quite honestly, it’s stayed the same as an adult! The… READ MORE
