I'm so sorry I haven't posted this tutorial until now, we have been having some technical difficulties around here! As I have stated before, I am not the most technologically advanced girl on the planet, though blogging has forced me to learn quite a bit in the past couple of years.  Although I hope to get more of a grasp on Photoshop in the next year, these chalkboard prints were not done in any fancy program.  They were created in Microsoft Word, imported to iPhoto, and printed at my local Walgreens.  How's that for simple? I'm going to show you how I made the chalkboard prints so you can make your own design, but I also figured I would make the ready-made "All is Calm" and "All is Bright" prints downloadable for you.  Therefore, you can print them off at your leisure and enjoy them in your own home. Let's begin the tutorial on how I made these pretties...

Hello everyone!  I hope you all had a beautiful Thanksgiving!  I can hardly believe it is December, I'm still enjoying Thanksgiving thoughts and smells, and then, BOOM, it's time to think about Christmas!  It's a bit jarring, is it not? After I posted the above photo on my Instagram, I got a few questions and emails about it, so I thought I would tell you all about my table decor, flower arranging, and my favorite recipes from this year's dinner.  Even though Thanksgiving is over, these are definitely ideas you can use for your Christmas dinner, plus it's nice to tuck away inspiration for next year.

Greetings!  

I know some of you have been waiting awhile for this tutorial, and I'm so happy to show you how the ornament garland from my Home Depot Holiday Challenge was done.  It is super easy; in fact, so easy that I felt silly even calling this a tutorial.  If you can string something, you can make this garland, and it does look quite beautiful. Basically, all you need is twine (or ribbon if you so choose - I used twine because it seemed sturdier, and your garland will be H-E-A-V-Y if you make a big one) and a ton of ornaments. And oh yes, I made you a video to show you how to make this garland.  There's even a special guest host!
