2012 Banner


I can't believe it's almost New Years Eve! I'm planning a little party at my house and when I saw this DIY 2012 banner tutorial I knew I had to try it out. It was like the easiest thing ever and totally free!


I just used all my leftover wrapping materials. Now I am ready to party! 

Feature Friday: Just Bella

Today I am featuring the home of Christine from Just Bella. Here's how she describes her style:

I'd describe my style as clean, modern, classic with a twist.  I love mixing old and new in our home, we've got new pieces, thrifty finds, and yep, even a few pre-loved hand me downs thrown into the mix!

Enjoy!

Christmas Recap


We spent a couple of days before Christmas at my families cabin up in the mountains. It was snowy and relaxing. Just what I needed.

My family is the best. We have fun wherever we go. 

Christmas was spent at my parents house. 



Me and all my sisters the morning of Christmas right before Church. 


Josh had to fly Christmas morning so it was really great to be with my family and Jett. 


And the happiest news of the day was this new car Jett got from his Grandma. He seriously won't get out of it for anything. 

I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday!
