Getting The Christmas Out

I've been getting the Christmas decor out, and, playing with glitter.



The little Christmas sign is a salvaged piece of wood.  I painted it white, stamped on the message, and, gave it a dusting of spray glitter.  The edges are sprinkled with the same glitter I used on the angel wings.

I cut the angel wings out of chipboard, painted them white, and, sprinkled on a bunch of vintage glitter.

I picked up the glitter at an estate sale a long time ago, and, never used it until now. I sealed it with spray.  So, the glitter stays put.





It was hard to capture the true shimmer in these photos.





Honestly, I'm taking my time decorating.  I took this photo of my tree, and, I've already changed it.




No rush, rush.  No hurry, hurry.

I'll be have fun decorating, and, share more photos soon.

  4. I love those angel wings, Rosemary! I usually stay away from glitter although I love the way it looks because it seems to get everywhere. What kind of spray do you use? I took my time decorating, too, and also wound up keeping things simple. I just wasn't in the mood to have a whole bunch of stuff out this year.

  11. Oh I love the glittered wings! I so obsess about decorating for Christmas--I gave myself 2 days to do it--then I told the kids to put the rubbermaid tubs back in the attic. What's done is done...now onto presents :)
