MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas from the Griffin Family! "For to us a child is born,  to us a son is given;  and the government shall be upon his shoulder,  and his name shall be called  Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,  Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."  Isaiah 9:6 "But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus." Ephesians 2:4-7 Thank YOU for being here- many of you over so many years- for reading, for encouraging, for supporting me as I share our little piece of home and life with you.  You all are a treasure and I'm grateful to do what I do, only possible because of you!   Much love to you this holiday......

2025 CHRISTMAS HOME TOUR PART 3 || LIVING ROOM, CHRISTMAS TREE, AND EVERYTHING ELSE!

Merry Christmas Eve, friends- let's wrap up this Christmas Home tour! Today I'll share our living room, Christmas tree, and everything else sprinkled around the house.  As usual, we decorate merry and bright for Christmas around here!  In case you haven't caught on, this is the year of the big bows in my house- all DIY!  A giant pink bow covers the front porch, and green plaid bow makes a statement in the Entry , and finally the tree is topped with this pink and red polka dot cutie! I will do a tutorial in January for you, it's the same process for all three and you bet I plan to keep the pink ones around for Valentine's Day!  I used most of the same bows on the tree as last year, but did switch one of the ribbons to a darling red and pink stripe (sold out but very similar here ). Ribbons I used or similar available now and a few good ones I just ordered 60% off- bought the fun confetti glitter one for birthdays!  (Scroll arrows for more and click photo for det......

2025 CHRISTMAS HOME TOUR PART 2 || FRONT PORCH AND ENTRY

Welcome to Part 2 of my Christmas Home Tour this year, I'm excited to share my Front Porch and Entry with you today!  I like what I've done the past few years on the porch so it started out pretty similar to last year-   I've enjoyed this Christmas mat from Hobby Lobby, the gingham is past season from Target, and the ginger jar was from Tuesday Morning, RIP! 🥲  I found some similar pieces, including a jar just like this one but it's PINK and some incredible deals (under $50!) on a few blue and white ones that are this large size, those are all linked here .  The snowflakes were big clear ornaments but they really just disappeared, so I gave them a quick coat of white spray paint then some spray adhesive and a coating of faux snow.  Corner bows- satin table runner and hot pink gingham ribbon || Flocked Garland || Flocked Wreath I painted some older lanterns that I've had red and added them in this year, but everything else is a repeat with the exception......
