Christmas Pot Roast Rub

Need an unique Christmas gift?

Why not make these Pot Roast seasoning jars?

First find mini baking pots. 

Mix 1 package Ranch Dressing, 1 package Italian Seasoning, and 1 package Brown Gravy mix. You can always double, triple, quadruple the recipe :). Place 1/2 cup of the Rub in tightly sealed plastic bags. 

Use scrapbook paper to make labels. 

"Wishing you a Roasty Toasty Christmas (Pot Roast Rub: Italian, Ranch, & Brown Gravy Seasoning).  

On the back of the card make sure to include instructions to add at least 1 cup water to the roasting pan. I make roast in the crockpot and therefore I just sprinkle the mix on the meat, add water to the bottom and cook it on low for about 6 hours. 

And voila!! A sweet & simple Christmas gift that is a nice break from the ordinary sweet treats, and very practical this time of year. :)

Many Blessings!!

Christmas Chalk Art

My first attempt at chalk art. Lessons learned: 

- It's okay to play around & erase- it's chalk. 

- It doesn't take too long to decorate if you don't overthink it. 

- Chalk art isn't meant to be perfect.

- Sometimes less is more (see pictures below- I like the Christmas one much better!). 

Joy to the World

Merry Christmas!!

Fabric Flower Magnets

I also used the Fabric Bow idea to make magnets!

Sweet Green Bows

Just had to share these Flower Hair Bows because they are so easy to make and I made these with some of my Grandmother's fabric. This is such a great project for all those extra fabric scraps!

Blessings!

Cute Bows

Here are some super easy flower hair clips. I found this idea on pinterest, but basically cut out 5 or 6 circles, fold over and then hand stitch around the folds and pull the string tight (similar to how you make a yo-yo). Then add cute and funky buttons and attach to a hair clip. :) Now if only I had some sweet girls to wear these...  

Redneck Outdoor Wreath

Just had to share a few pictures of our Redneck Christmas wreath made from used pool noodles, duct tape, recycled garland, and clearanced Christmas ornaments.  I must admit, I'm happy with the finished product for what it is....

Joy Sign

Homemade Christmas signs! I made these by using the tracing method (print out the phrase in your font of choice & the trace them by firmly pressing with a sharp pen). By no means are the signs perfect, but they are a fun easy project to do on cold days like today! 

Added some Burlap just for the season! 

Joy & Blessings!!

Christmas Signs

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!! Especially with the help of these fun Christmas signs that are simple to make (really they are!!). Print, trace & paint all on scrap pieces of wood. 

Merry Christmas!!!
