What makes a Happy Home? I love to take care of my family. For me, creating a home that is warm and inviting, where everyone feels welcome is pure joy! The smell of fresh laundry just in off the clothesline, a neat and tidy home and garden, a good home cooked meal, a few desserts here and there, the love of family, friends and fellowship all help to make our home a Happy Home. Join me as we celebrate the holidays, the birthdays and the every days!

Christmas Magic in July

Like any keeper of Christmas, I have Christmas Magic Notebook.
Last year the notebook had a more whimsical feel to it, but as you know that's not really my style. So I'm revamping the individual pages - plus it gives me something to create!

The Cover Page is the Countdown.

I used an original vintage postcard for the image.

Page 1 shows a calendar that begins in late October and ends the first week of December. This page was so fun to create...vintage images, buttons, tulle, chipboard, rub-ons, just a lot of this, that and love.


The weeks are categorized to help you get ready for Christmas. I'll post the individual pages as I finish them. There are lists that correspond for each week.


Week 1 is Organization. This is always fun for me as I am a list maker and I get joy from the check marks that show a job completed - what a surprise:)


Week 2 is Reality Check.


Week 3 is Gifts and Giving and week 4 is Cooking and Baking.

Week 5 is Decorate and Tree Time. And, it just so happens that my wonderful DH just bought me a beautiful new tree topper to go with my collection. He's so sweet!

Oh my where will I put another topper?! Enjoy your day!

The book looks like it would be a lot of fun to do. The tree toppers all put together are an amazing feast for the eyes. I've never seen a whole bunch grouped together like that!

Hi,
I just wanted to stop by and thank you for becoming a follower of Beneath My Heart!
I have entered your name in all THREE of the remaining giveaways. Stop by on Wednesdays to leave a comment, and I will enter your name again for that week's drawing.
I saw your the mom of two great boys. Can you believe I have four? I never dreamed I would have all boys, but I love being "Queen" of my castle! :0)
It's so nice to meet you,
Traci

I thought you were more of a Victorian kind of gal. I could so see you sitting in a room full of roses on a pink plaid chair! I never thought of collecting toppers. They are so beautiful sitting there together. And, yes, there is always room for one more!
