Oh Ally!

Ally has a dream.
She dreams of meeting a man at the grocery store.
Too bad her last trip to the grocery store was to get a plunger.
Poor Ally.

Bonjour! Map Cut Out Card!

Bonjour!
I made this special greeting card with an old map! I loooove old maps and I have a pile of them, but this is the first time I've actually used one!

Reindeer Napkin Holders!

I used the same reindeer from the place cards for my paper 'napkin rings'. I just used 'nice' paper napkins and added some feathers that I cut off of a feather boa I had in my closet! (who doesn't have a feather boa in the closet??)
 

Ornament Place Card Holders and Post Card Place Cards!

I found some ornament place card holders at Goodwill that were red and green - not the color scheme I wanted - but I bought them anyways and spray painted them white and then covered them with spray adhesive and glitter! Here's how they turned out! Very pretty I think! 


Thanks to the spray adhesive and glitter I started to turn into a mermaid! Awesome indeed!

I used one of these vintage post cards to create place cards. 
And Voila!


Now if only the turkey can turn out as perfect!!
