Merry Christmas & Happy Hanukkah!

We just sent out our company's Christmas cards to all our retailers & they turned out so cute I wanted to show you all. The little girl is a model that was used for the photo shoot...I don't actually know her...but she sure is adorable with her little teddy bear!

And here are a couple other pics from the photoshoot.




Now for my shamless plug....

You too can have a custom rug made, just visit us at www.creativecarpetdesign.com

Rustic Winter Wonderland Tablescape

I was asked a couple months ago if I would host a table at our church's annual ladies christmas banquet and what fun it has been! This was right up my alley! I love being creative. I love decorating, I love shopping for decor, I love designing....
They said not to spend money, just to use items from your own home...well I could have gone with my christmas gold & white scheme, but wanted to do something different. So I cheated a bit. I bought some stuff. Nothing expensive though...most was bought at salvation army, garage sales, etc...
Oh and let me tell you about those fabulous white plates. I bought them at salvation army for $5 for not 1 but for all 7 plates! I LOVE a Bargain!! They were brand new!
I came home did some research and found they were china and sell for $56 a piece. Cha....Ching!! Gotta love when that happens!
Tonight was the night I decorated my table at church and have to say I think it came out great if I do say so myself.
Take a look.......

Thanks to my hubby for cutting the logs for me! The candle holders were bought at a gargae sale over the summer and we used them at our daughter's wedding reception. Burlap runner was also from the wedding. I bought a plaid scarf which is placed on top of the burlap....(wish you could see more of it)

The graniteware cups are new and by Coleman and so is the flatware.
Black napkins were bought from amazon and I made the napkin rings from supplies found at Hobby Lobby. Clear glasses were from the Dollar Tree.

Greenery was a garland I bought at Hobby Lobby



Thanks for stopping by to take a look!
Have a Blessed Christmas!
