I've missed not blogging for the past several months. I have been doing a lot of traveling, turned '50' and had my first grandbaby! Thought I'd better get back to it...and "IT" started with a wreath makeover.
...to go along with the tartan bows and tree skirt.
I usually do maroon and forest green, but decided to change it up a bit this year, and I'm loving the red and white.
I saw these sheet music ornaments on Pinterest and had to make some.
So cute, I love the way they turned out!
Here again is my "famous" tarnished silver bowl that I acquired recently. It is so versatile...I have used it in various centerpiece displays already! (More shredded sheet music...I adore it!)
I have always liked tartan plaid, and pulled it from the archives this year to mix with the musical scores.
My old door gets a new wreath with some more music scrolls. Simple and understated.
My coffee table vingette with more tartan plaid and a fun framed verse. (The book page tree idea came from here. Isn't it fun!)

This is one of my favorite "new" acquisitions this year. I found this fabulous vintage song book on eBay. I'm pretty sure my mother had one very similar to this when we were growing up.
She loved to sing and had a fabulous voice. She was a member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir at one time during her life. But every time she sang in any choir, I could always single out, and actually hear her voice! I remember us gathered around the piano and her teaching us to sing many beautiful songs, not just at Christmas, but all through the year.
I am absolutely in love with this!
I've got more new Christmas crafts and decor that I am working on, so check back! Happy Christmas!
