Snowy Christmas Wish List Printables

This year my husband and I decided to buy each other gifts for Christmas.  Even though we don't celebrate the holiday as Christ's Birthday, we've decided to start a few family traditions from this winter holiday.  My husband suggested we each make a list of some things we would like so that the other person would be able to choose things the other would really appreciate and enjoy.  

So of course, I "had" to make a cute little printable for our wishlists!  I even decided to share them with you!

Both of these should print nicely on 8.5" x 11" paper.

A Wintery Display

Last Saturday I gave our entry table a wintery makeover, without spending any money!  I picked up some paint sample cards while I was out one day and used a silver sharpie to do the lettering.  The font I tried to mimic is called Janda Happy Day and can be downloaded for free here.

I pulled our "What a Difference a Day Makes" print (seen here) from the living room, along with the white pitcher vase and small light blue vase which had accompanied the print.  The snowflake ornament was a purchase from last year.  I added a little bit of hot glue to the back where it would touch the table to make it stand up.  This little trick worked great!  The ornament doesn't slide and I can easily remove the hot glue if I want to use it somewhere else.

My chalk art skills are still quite lacking, but I think I'm making some improvements.  I'm sure over time and with lots of practice and patience I'll be able to create some really nice chalk displays...well, at least that is my hope.

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Maternity Photo Shoots

My husband and I are blessed to have a beautiful young lady in our lives who loves photography and who takes gorgeous pictures!  She's not a "professional" as some would use the term, but I would definitely say her work is of a professional quality!  We did two photo sessions with Shelby, one in mid-November and the other in early December.  Thanks to the every changing and unpredictable weather here in Indiana we're wearing sweaters in the November shoot and short sleeves in the December shoot.

Now, without further adieu, here are our beautiful maternity photos!

Aren't they wonderful?!?!  We certainly think so!

Lord willing, we will finally meet our little guy in less than six weeks!

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Love,
