CHRISTMAS PHOTO BOOTH BACKDROP IDEAS (AND SOME CUTE WINTER FASHION STAPLES!)
This post is sponsored by Walmart, affiliate links used for your shopping convenience. For the past several years I've been responsible for putting together 3 Christmas photo booth backdrops at our church for family photo spots. They have always been virtually identical designs, just located in various areas to alleviate crowding. However, this year I had a team to help and we pulled off three different fabulous and festive designs! I shared a little bit as we were working on them over on Instagram and many people wanted to see the finished products, so I thought I'd put them all in one place and share them with you here so you can Pin for future reference if you'd like. And, I even squeezed in some photos of a few of my new favorite Winter fashion staples at the end of the post to share with you. My goal with these designs is for them to always be budget friendly but to make a big impact! Red and Black Buffalo Check Duster Jacket...

2021 CHRISTMAS HOME TOUR PART 4: MASTER BEDROOM
I honestly don't know how this Christmas season is flying by so quickly... of course it feels that way every year but this year especially. How is Christmas just a little over a week away!?! I'm actually still decorating- one room left to go that I'll share with you tomorrow- and don't even ask if I'm anywhere close to being done with my shopping! Yikes... so much for being on top of things this year! However, my bedroom is clean and pretty and decorated so that's a win! I'm so glad to be sharing our Master Bedroom Christmas tour with you today! ...

DIY CUSTOM GIFT BAGS
This post is sponsored by Walmart. It's that time of year when we're all making our lists and checking them twice, then shopping, shopping, shopping!! But do you put much thought into wrapping all of those carefully chosen gifts for your family and friends once your list is all checked off? I love wrapping a beautiful gift in a box with festive wrapping paper and a lovely bow and do most of my gifts that way for Christmas, but practically speaking some gifts are just awkward shapes that aren't well suited for a box. And so, a gift bag it is for those presents! However, rather than generic, your gift bag can still be just as beautiful and special as a gift wrapped box if you make your own! Today I'm sharing some DIY custom gift bags that I had so much fun making, and I think you will too! ...

FIVE FRIDAY FAVORITES
Happy Friday! I can't believe we're less than a week away from Thanksgiving already. I'm curious, have you pulled out your Christmas decorations yet? There's such a hot debate on about when the "right" time is to decorate, but I say decorate whenever you want to in your own home! I'll be pulling mine out in the next few days to begin getting things ready to share with you... so excited! (*This post contains affiliate links, including Amazon.

OKLAHOMA/WESTERN THEME BANQUET STAGE AND TABLE DECORATIONS
Every year our church holds a special banquet for our widows and widowers. Each of our deacons is matched up with one to watch over and care for, and this is always a special night where we all come together to honor them. The program, menu, and decor change each year, ranging from more formal to more lighthearted themes. Since we weren't able to hold this event last year, we were especially looking forward to it this year. I generally don't have a role with helping with this event, but one of my friends did this year and asked me to join in and help her decorate for it. We quickly settled on a casual theme and today I'm sharing what we came up with for our "Oklahoma"/Western theme banquet stage and table decorations....

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE EARLY HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE
This post is sponsored by Walmart, affiliate links used for your shopping convenience. Well, we're officially into November so although I never want to rush Thanksgiving, it's time to be planning ahead for Christmas, right? I've already got a few gifts stashed and lots of ideas floating around in my head, and as I've started my shopping online I've found that Walmart's Gift Finder has the perfect gift ideas for everyone on my list! The guys in our house are going to be excited about this early gift! Only 2 out of the 4 members of my family are coffee drinkers. We currently actually rotate between 2 different coffee pots... when my son is at college my husband uses a little 4 cup pot. But when Caleb is home that's too small so we switch out to the 12 cup pot. When I came across this Keurig K-Duo Essentials Single Serve & Carafe Coffee Maker I thought it might be the perfect thing to streamline our coffee situation! With it, we can easily make a ...

HOW TO MAKE A SIMPLE ENVELOPE CLOSURE PILLOW
This post is sponsored by Walmart, affiliate links may be used. Did you know that September is National Sewing Month? It began in 1982 with a proclamation from President Ronald Reagan in which he declared a month long celebration "In recognition of the importance of home sewing to our Nation." After learning how to sew in my Jr. High Home Ec. class and continuing to learn further skills from my Mom over the years, sewing is still an often used skill in my life and something about those words just warm my heart! With multiple local fabric stores closing their doors in my area over the past few years, I'm so glad that Walmart has a Fabric Department where I can pick up all of the sewing basics that I need. I'll share some of those with you today and thought I'd also share a tutorial for how to make the easiest pillow ever, a simple envelope closure pillow. Half of the work on this pillow is getting it cut out and some ironing, and then all you need to do is m...
