Best of 2012

I'm ringing in the New Year with a new look

for 

Our Prairie Home!

But before we get to that...

It's time for the Best of 2012!

Fern Creek Cottage

A couple of weeks ago, 

I was invited to share our holiday home over at:

Kid Friendly Christmas Living Room {Reveal}

Here's a look at Our Prairie Home during the Christmas Season!

Scrap Paper Christmas Window

My philosophy this season is...

Re-Use.

Re-New.

Make Do.

Par-Tayin' Sweet Shoppe Style!

My goodness!  

Savanna (10) and Eva (2 weeks old)

What a whirlwind this past weekend turned out to be!

Our littlest girl turned eight!

I just don't know where the time goes.

It just seemed like yesterday, she looked like this...

And today, she's eight!

Christmas Countdown Tree

While I was sick earlier this week, 

I decided to tackle a project that would keep me awake,

 but not require too much movement.

I attempted to start on Monday and then asked myself,

"Why in the world are you doing this when you don't feel like it?!"

So, I tossed everything down on the table, 

walked away from it, and crawled back on the couch.

Christmas Tablescape

For our Christmas Tablescape this year, 

I decided to continue with the cheaper is better theme 

that I started this fall with my $15.00 Fall Tablescape.

The cost of this year's Christmas Tablescape?

$1.00

Yep.

You heard me correctly...

Amanda Carol At Home

A buck.

One George Washington.

No more, no less.

And this was my inspiration:

Obviously, I like a good challenge.

;)

I love the aqua, silver, white and gold.

Mercury Glass.

Sigh.

Dollar Tree Christmas Wall Art

Yesterday, when I revealed our Christmas Tree, 

you  might have noticed the framed bowls at the top of the stairs...

Another super cheap and easy Dollar Tree Craft!

Fa La La La Laa, La La La La!

LOVE IT!
