Happy weekend!
I finally (forced myself to) put my Christmas tree up yesterday… and will slowly work it in with my given theme this year now that it’s staring me down hard! Are you built like that too? Sometimes you need the white elephant in the room to draw some attention to the need.
So why the delay?
This time of year, I tend to get a little more quiet on the blog and with Christmas decorating in general because I’m showcasing short and sweet demos for the stencils side of my biz. These projects don’t generally show up on the blog because they are a little too simple for big involved blog posts, yet still valuable for fun and easy ideas, especially if you aren’t sure what a given stencil looks like once used!
Follow Old Sign Stencils on Instagram HERE to watch NEW demos!
Case in point… these Christmas Sweater stencils look adorable on skis, which will end up above my kitchen windows in my (eventual) Christmas home tour!
I think I’m going to create one place to find all the demos through the blog, but until then, follow me on Instagram at Old Sign Stencils HERE, where you can watch all of them in saved Story Highlights!
But I did manage to do another really fun larger project I’ve been wanting to try for years…
Christmas tag Noel vertical porch sign with Argyle ornament by Funky Junk Interiors
I’ve always wanted to make a Christmas tag sign and finally made it happen! And know what? It was every bit as easy as making a straight sign, but the extra details really take it in a much different direction!
Isn’t it the cutest?!
And once again, you blew me away with your incredible projects! You’ve been busy! Here’s some fab highlights you’re gonna LOVE from last week’s party…

Your Noel Christmas tag is the cutest ever! Love the 3D elements! The colors are awesome on the rustic wood. You’ve taken the whole entryway sign trend to a whole new level! Thanks for hosting! My goal is to get the rest of the house decorated this weekend, but at least we can enjoy our cute kitchen for now;)
Hello Donna, it’s okay. Hope so. Thank you very much for choosing our project. I loved the other projects. Your blog is an inspiration for everyone. xoxo
Thanks Donna for featuring my stenciled boxes and sweater tree! Your projects with the new stencils continue to be awesome!
How wonderfully Canadiana is Sara’s sleigh! Have a great weekend, Donna 🙂
Thank you so much for featuring my Scrap Moulding Christmas Trees! It’s such a special project for me, since the wood came from my parents’ home after they passed.
I love your link party, and always get such great ideas! I have a link party on Sundays — Sundays on Silverado– and would be thrilled if you want to link some of your projects there!
Happy Saturday!
