Recently, I decided to make these DIY Winter Napkin Rings to match my White Winter Tablescape. These napkin rings came together pretty last minute. I had about 2 hours before some family arrived for a Christmas dinner and I still hadn’t set the table or finished the food! I knew the food would take about …
This year, 2020, I made a Red Truck Christmas Mantel scene above my fireplace. Over the past couple of years, the Red Truck Christmas tree decor started popping up here and there. Whenever I saw it, I thought it was so cute! I don’t always hop on the trendy-decor-bandwagon, but with this theme, I totally …
