39 Days 'til Christmas!

I know, I know, it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but I just love all the Christmas decorations and related items that have already made their appearance in the stores. I recently bought the Better Homes & Gardens Christmas Ideas magazine and got the idea to decorate a paper mache house. Here's how it turned out...




I didn't think to take pictures of before and during, but I started with a plain paper mache house from Hobby Lobby and just got to work using acrylic paint, glue, glitter and accessories.  {I love all of the glitter, but it is messy!}  I even made the door using a little pice of cardboard.  :-)

My table centerpiece, with cinnamon smelling pine cones and real greenery. Ahhh...love it!

Ok, so this is impressive! I love that house? Was it hard? I'd love to do something like that, but I'm not sure if I'm that talented. :)
