What Happens When A Mirror And A Picture Frame Get Married?
I had a moment that I haven’t had in a while where I saw a couple things in my house and thought, “I wonder what would happen if….”

Advent Calendar Idea Using The Christmas Story
I know we are thinking about Thanksgiving now, but I wanted to share this because December 1st will be here soon!
If you like doing Advent calendars with your kids, you might want to try something a little different with it. I shared this a couple years ago but wanted to share it again for anyone that missed it.
It is an Advent Calendar that has the Christmas Story divided into 24 sections. Each day, you reveal a portion of the story. On Christmas Eve, you and your kids can read the whole story together.
Many Advent calendars have a gift or trinket each day, so this is a great way to keep the meaning of Christmas alive and have less toys and clutter in the house!!
For a free printable of the numbers and of the Christmas Story already divided into 24 equal parts, visit the original Advent Calendar of The Christmas Story post.
Happy Thanksgiving 🙂

Finally, Something To Do With All Your Old Jewelry
I think it is safe to assume that you have a drawer or box of old jewelry somewhere. It’s jewelry that is broken (with hopes you’ll repair it someday), or not your style anymore. Whatever the reason, jewelry is hard to get rid of. It just feels like you’ll want it someday or that it will miraculously come back into fashion.
Until then, here is a way you can use it while you wait for that day. Continue reading

Update A Plain, Boring Shelf in Ten Minutes
I found this square shelf for $.90 at a thrift store years ago and it’s hung on my wall for a while. I’ve been wanting to do something with it but didn’t know what.
I recently bought some stencils that I have been playing around with and I thought I’d see what I could do. I picked out a stencil (these rubbery kind that adhere to a surface are great!) and some paint and got started. Continue reading
