My Christmas Wish List

This year I put together a list of more staple pieces and not just a bunch of little things.  I rather receive gifts that I can use for years to come than just something that will be out of style next season.  Here is the list that I created on Pinterest (makes it easier for the shopper's in your life).




Kate Spade - Cherry Lane Stacy Wall




Juliet & Company Forget Me Knots Stud Earrings from ShopBop

(These were on clearance-so very low stock)

 
 
 

Tory Burch Enamel Large T Loco Stud Earrings from ShopBop

(These have since sold out at ShopBop - Hope Santa got them for me :) )

 
 
 
 

Sigma Make Me Cool Travel Kit Makeup Brushes

 
 
 
 

Wildflower "Rose Buddies" Silver Studded iPhone Case

 
 

Last but not least......what I hope to be my new coffee table book....

 

Chicago Blackhawks - One Goal II Book

(hopefully next year there will be One Goal III ;) )

 

Like I said staples pieces...nothing too crazy..

 

Happy Holidays & Happy Shopping!

DIY-Holiday Wall Art

Christmas is my favorite time of year!  I love decorating my apartment and getting into the spirit of things.  After receiving the yearly Tiffany's holiday catalog (My favorite) in the mail last week, I had the perfect idea to reuse part of the catalog.  When I opened the envelope and saw the cover of the book, I fell in love with it and it was just too pretty to toss aside.  So, I decided to frame it and make it into an art piece.

So, let's get started.....

Tools Needed:

Tiffany's, Picture Frame, Target, DIY, Christmas Art
 
 
After you collect the tools, the next step is to take the cover off of the catalog. This will take a steady hand and patience.  I bent the cover back starting with the back cover and then started tearing- leaving a little bit of the bind, that way I could just fold that part over and tape it down, so I could have a smooth straight line. You could also use a scissors or a knife for this part.
 


and the cover is off!
 
Use tape to tape the side down, so you have a straight line
 
Place tape or rubber cement on the corners to secure down on matte.
 

Ta-da!
 
 
Finished décor!
 
This was such a simple project.  The most difficult part was getting the cover off, since it was secured down with strong glue.  The frame is a 8X10 from Target for $3.99!  I just used the sheet of paper that came in the frame as the matte and of course the picture is from a Tiffany's mailer.
 
Happy Holidays, Everyone!
