Vinyl Lettering on Plates & Glass Cubes

I LOVE these!!! I especially like the
way the Vinyl Lettering looks on these
plates..The gold & the red are so classic..

I love the sayings as well.

(In the photo below) it shows the

Nativity & Wise Men still seek him..

& what it looks like with little white lights

behind the cubes..

The photo following that..shows it

without lights...a different type of

atmosphere.

Below are some of the 1/2 glass cubes with specific

words on them...This is the year of POLKA-DOTS..

Fun loving bright colors with Polka-Dots....

I LOVE them!!!! They are fun to do....I have

Cutie-Pie Aprons for little girls/Adults...&

Cutie-Pie Bows...& now Polka-Dot ribbons w/

Glass Cubes... These Polka-Dots are contagious!

I could totally see moms getting them for young

women...for birthdays, graduation, Christmas.

They are a great gift for any occasion...or just

for yourself... a daughter-in-law,sister,aunt,

grandmother...the ideas are endless!!!

For the FAMILY...That is one of the Main Themes

for this Boutique..These would look great in a

FAMILY ROOM, Living Room, Study...really

any room in the house...

assortment of other Home decor items @

The "JOY" of Vinyl Lettering...

I LOVE Vinyl Lettering...I thought I'd show
you some different ways in which I have used
it...for Santa's Gift Shoppe...this year

On WOOD Blocks...you can do phrases, kids names,

any SENTIMENT you'd like to express...or what

you'd like the World to know when they enter

your Home....

What is IMPORTANT to YOU...Like these

blocks...saying "FAMILY", "Home" or

"I Believe"...(one of my favorites...)

One of Santa's Favorites..."Send in the elves!"

This was done as an experiment and I LOVE IT!!
This wonderful saying about KINDNESS...is done

on a beautiful piece of marble with Burgundy

streaks.... as is the Sister's saying below...

I love them both.. These are truly great gifts for just about any

time....or for anyone...Male or Female

Christmas, Birthdays, Anniversaries...

What a Unique & Special Gift Idea......

********SPECIAL HALLOWEEN ALERT******

COMING SOON...SOME Ideas, & Recipes for

HALLOWEEN....including my moms

"HOOT-OWL"Cookie Recipe (that she made

every year for us kids) with Chocolate chips

for eyes & a cashew for the nose..they are

really cute..)

So Check Back to see photos & get the recipe

to make for your own kids. They'll love them..

Another "Sneak Peek" of Santa's Gift Shoppe (STACKERS w/Vinyl Lettering)

Here is another "Sneak Peek" at some of the
items you'll see at this years "Santa's Gift Shoppe
Boutique" (Fri. Dec. 4th 10-7pm & Sat. Dec. 5th
10-4pm)

The above item is called a "STACKER" (you
can put whatever phrase or words of vinyl
lettering that will fit on it)

This particular one is painted "Italian Sage" and
was a gift for a darling young couple in my church who
just had their first child (a baby boy a few weeks ago)
I took dinner into them last night (Chicken Tetricini)
I'll give you guys the recipe in one of the next
posts...it's delicious...(got it from a wonderful friend)
and got to see him... he is sooo cute....and he sleeps a
lot, too...his mom said

These "STACKERS" are a GREAT way to put
important stats and memorable moments
on home decor items for all to share in....
sharing some Family History, if you will....
(another love of mine)

These "STACKERS" are more in keeping with the
Holiday Season & have cute sayings that are
"whimsical"...but isn't that just like the
holiday season..a bit magical...wondrous...

This "STACKER" (above) is one of my Favorites....
I love the sentiment as well as envisioning the
sacred event.....Also the ribbon is a really pretty
silver & complements the black...

This "STACKER" (above) is very contemporary...

I really like the saying on this one a lot as well... The

color on the wood is "Butter Pecan" w/ Black

Satin Ribbon..It could go pretty much anywhere

in your home...or if you wanted to give it as a gift....

Last of all....This is another take on the "Holiday

Season"...It's just the colors are reversed red/

green/red but you could put any "Christmas"/

Holiday Greeting etc. sayings on these...they

are very versatile....
