The Pack Family

I hope that those of you celebrating this year have had a wonderful Holiday so far.  Our family celebrates Christmas, and this year it came with a wedding as well on my husband's side of the family!  It was so much fun to be with family celebrating two wonderful occasions.

On my side, tragedy struck.  

The picture below is of my cousin Ryan and his adorable family, Kelly his wife and his two sons,

 Finn (3) and Colum (1.5).  Christmas Eve brought sadness to their family as they were in a horrible head on collision.  Ryan, Kelly and Colum were life flighted to different hospitals, all in unstable condition.  Kelly and Ryan were finally brought to the same hospital, and Colum was able to be transferred there for his mom and day to say their goodbyes to him.  Finn was released from the hospital, but his parents are still recovering from multiple surgeries and injuries.  It is going to be long road to recovery.

If you would like to help, please keep the Pack family in your thoughts and prayers.

You can learn more at www.kellypack.com about their updates and even donate to their recovery.

Please stay safe this Holiday,

Shabby Apple Winner!

And the winner of the Shabby Apple Giveaway is...

Oh boy. I am having a tough time giving this baby away. Looks like I'll have to make a different one for myself, because today's giveaway is this handmade vertical "WISH" sign.

Sanded, painted, inked vertical sign measuring 12" x 3.5" and hung on a cheery silver ribbon. The lettering is covered in real silver German glass glitter, which will tarnish over time to a beautiful, vintage patina. Hang it on your door, wall, Christmas tree, by the stockings with care, your child; no wait, the glitter is glass...best not to hang it on a child. Still, plenty of possibilities!

15 Sheets of Vinyl

to use in something cra-a-af-teeeeey!


(If you didn't just sing that out loud or in your head to the "12 Days of Christmas"
song then it probably seemed a little weird).

Even if you don't have a Cricut machine...vinyl can come in very handy with decorating just about anything.

From letters, to stickers, to wall decals.  The possibilities are endless!

This includes a variety of Christmas-y and Hannukah-like colors!

There are 15 sheets of 6 x 12 inch sheets.

Black, Forrest Green, Cranberry Red, Cherry Red, Gold, Tan, White...

More Gold, More Black, Dark Blue, Bright Blue, Aqua Blue, Gray, Light Gray and More White!

On the 8th Day of Christmas...

Time for some more free holiday decor! How about your very own handmade {with love, naturally} PEACE banner?

This banner is 51" long, made of quality cardstock (each pendant is 5" tall) and strung on silver tinsel to give it some happy holiday sparkle!

Love the dove? Very peaceful, right?

The dove and snowflakes are on metallic cardstock and reflect light beautifully. This banner will look great on your front door, Christmas tree, or above your hearth! Anywhere, really. It's just a cute banner, wishing it was with you for the holidays.
