I decorated my daughter and son-in-law’s front porch for Christmas. And I used a tablecloth. Yep, a tablecloth.
Take a look at the pillows.
It was once a tablecloth that I picked up at HomeGoods. I’m all about red and white this Christmas and as soon as I saw that grain sack-looking fabric of the tablecloth, I knew it was destined to become pillow covers.
I had enough leftover to make this rolled roses wreath for the front door.
I wired stems of berries together and wrapped the porch posts and put more berries in the old vintage watering can.
Using my Silhouette Cameo, I made the “Believe” on the window using removeable red vinyl. There’s a little boy in this house (my grandson) who definitely believes!
I love this sign. I made it last year (again using my Silhouette Cameo to cut the letters) and thought it would go nicely on their Christmas porch.
I wrapped a few boxes with kraft paper and tied them up with red ribbon. The old tree has been hanging out in my basement for years. I’m happy to find it a new home.
And of course we had to hang the “Magic Santa Key”! “There is no chimney here you’ll see, so here’s a special magic key. Use this key on Christmas Eve. Milk and cookies are from me”
My daughter and her husband live in an old, cute starter home. They’ve been busy on the inside with remodeling and updating. It was my pleasure to decorate their front porch for Christmas. For the price of tablecloth ($12) and a few stems of berries (Michaels 50% off plus 25% off coupon), this Christmas Porch cost less than $20.

Love these decorations!!! All of them but really love the Santa’s Magic Key and the sign with the saying from The Grinch! I have a much smaller porch but I really want to do all I can to it! I know I am a little late in commenting but I just found your page through a flash giveaway and so happy I did!
Thank you Tina, for the sweet comments! It’s great to have you!
Hi!
I’m new here and I wanted to tell you that I loved what you did with the porch. The wreath is awesome. Do you tell anywhere how to make it. I don’t have a clue as to what a silhouette cameo is or how to use one. Do you have an older post that teaches about it? Thank you for all that you do.
Thanks Lorraine! I’m glad you’re here! A Silhouette Cameo is an electronic cutter. It’s used with your computer to cut shapes out of paper, fabric and vinyl. You can read more about it on Silhouette America’s website: http://www.silhouetteamerica.com/
As for the wreath, I’ll write a post about how to make one soon, but until then, you take a strip of fabric and tie a knot at one end. Then while twisting the strip of fabric, wrap it around the knot, hot gluing it down as you go. I’ll probably include a video so you can see exactly how it’s done.
Stop my beating heart! I love these.I wanted to do that this year, but didn’t… I love it! Looks great!
Here it is hanging, my kids loved helping hunt down a twig to serve as the hanger after watching me embroider it. You can make one of these in a weekend, only because you need to let the paint dry before you start stitching. It would be easy to switch up the style with different colors or fabric choices! What other words would you put on a pennant ornament?

Keep in mind that the Food and Wine Event Festival opens with the World Showcase at 11 am each day. I suggest you visit early to avoid crowds and experience as much of the festival as you can! And try to visit during the week to avoid the locals who come in on the weekends.WiFi

Hello, Thanks for a chance at your fabulous giveaway. This machine looks like a miracle worker to me. We are blessed to have 7 grandchildren in and out of our home at any given time 7 days a week. Sometimes all 7 are here, other times, they come and go in handfuls. Our little darlings range in age from 8 weeks old to 14 years old. Five boys and two girls comprise the group, the 8 week old is a girl. One of those adorable princes is crawling like crazy and another has just started to walk. Every room in our home, save the bathrooms, has hardwood floors. My Swiffer has become another appendage if I could holster my hand vacuum around my hips I would!

What wonderful memories and pictures for your family! Growing up my grandparents had a place on Crystal Lake and then Lake Michigan, both in northern Michigan. I loved running the dunes along Lake Michigan! We have a cabin in Twin Lakes, Colorado and the cold, clear water reminds me of northern Michigan, although it is actually colder (48 degrees on Memorial Day) so we do more wading than swimming. We like to drive the boat to deserted beaches and enjoy picnics and playing in the sand. The cold water scares most boaters away (and the lake is surrounded by national forest, so no houses directly on the lake), so often we are the only ones out there! There are some warmer reservoirs in southern Colorado that are better for swimming and not quite.Tierras del Este
I really enjoyed this post. (Always awaiting your next one) Laughing my way through. As an avowed serial painter I have learned never to use tape. It adds like 16 extra unnecessary hours to a job. Also guilty of not painting the ceilings and completely regretting it later. Lazy. Do you mind if I put a link to this post on my blog? I would love to share as I am painting my stairway hall from top to floors and you have a very witty tutorial here.custom paint by numbers

A scandal can be extensively characterized as an allegation or allegations that get a wide introduction. For the most part, there is an adverse impact on the believability of the individual or association included. Society is scandalized when it is made mindful of glaring ruptures of good standards or legitimate necessities. jasa pembuatan patung jogja
