Bring on the Christmas Cards!

I love, love, love getting Christmas cards in the mail.  Particularly ones with a picture on them!  I wanted to create a cute way to display them this year.  So, this is what I came up with!

Remember this old window that I got for 50 cents and painted with chalkboard paint and added some hooks to?  We usually keep our weekly schedule written on it, but I decided it would be the perfect spot to hang our cards! 

When I took the window down and placed it on the ottoman, Hayden yelled “playground!” and went to get a few random objects to play with.  When I say random, I mean random…apple, tractor and trailer, and a couple of Scentsy bricks.  I guess it was a new solid surface that was just his height!  Ha!  Then, he decided to write with chalk.  As he was writing, he was saying random letters.  O, T, S, H, I, etc.  He had the best time for a few minutes until this Momma needed to get her project done! 

This project took all of about 5 minutes.  Clear push pins, some string and mini clothes pins I got at Hobby Lobby (in the wood craft section).  

 

I got our Christmas cards ordered after I picked up our CD from our family pictures last night.   Here is one of my favorite pictures of us!  I have so many favorites!  Now to choosing which ones to print!  

That large metal “S” is actually ours that we brought with us.  My BFF Jen, picked it up at a Thirft/Salvage type sale for nearly nothing!  I L.O.V.E. it!   It sits on top of our entryway cabinet that we had built by this guy.  I love our little chalkboard/metal signs I found at LaurieAnna’s last month!

We actually took that large frame with us for our pictures and used it too.

I will share more of our family picture later!  :-)  Can’t wait to get your Christmas card in the mail!
