    Lots of fun little projects for the Christmas season. The chargers with fruit could even be recycled for a spring tablescape.

    Jenna, so many fabulous ideas that you rounded up. I love them all and actually think there might be a couple that I could pull off! Happy Weekend and Roll Tide!

    Oh my – we haven’t gotten through Thanksgiving yet, but I guess for crafters it’s time to start with projects. I love the charger idea and decorating the white gift bags. Really great ideas Jenna.

  6. There are so many cute ideas I don’t know where to begin. I can hardly get through fall this year and I know if I’m going to do any of these, I’d better get on the stick. I like the idea of the 3-D Christmas tree, that’s a new one to me. And your outdoor mantel is is epecially cute!

  7. Karen says:

    Oh to have your creative talents. Everyone must love getting a gift from you. So cute.

  8. Jenna, lots of creativity here. You are so talented at painting. You make everything look so easy.

    There are so many great ideas here Jenna. I love the painted gift bags and the gnomes are adorable. The 3 D tree is so pretty and Mr. Snowman pumpkin brought such a smile. We seem to be in full Christmas mode here – I could not believe how busy the stores were and how full the parking lots were this weekend. And I’ve barely started my Christmas shopping – the days really are flying by. Merry Monday to you!
