Happy chilly weekend!
Our weather turned super windy blowing all the leaves off nearly overnight!
I’m kinda glad though… I was having some trouble getting into the festive spirit with all the pretty fall tones surrounding me!
For when you live in a DIY world where you create seasonal supplies, it’s important to work at least one or better, TWO seasons ahead. Will I ever get there? Doubt it. LOL But I do try…
So being that it’s only early November (only… haha) there’s some new DIY toys that were launched this week that are gonna be a ton of fun to play with!
Christmas sign decorating ideas using reclaimed wood and stencils by Funky Junk Interiors
7 new Christmas stencils were just launched, and they ought to provide lots of entertainment over the next little while!
This post also shares some ideas on what to make with them so there’s lots of inspiration in this one! Click through to see some of the ideas I drew up…
And I can see I’m not alone with getting into that Christmas spirit after you check out these amazing highlights from last week’s party…

Donna a good weekend Xoxo from here in Holland
Thanks for your visit Elsa! I always look forward to your posts!
Thank you so much for hosting and featuring my Paper Bows!
My pleasure Priyam! I loved it!
Always so many amazingly creative ideas shared here. I’m excited about your new stencils but I had to chuckle when I saw the projects you made with them. I have a project scheduled to publish on Wednesday that I made two weeks ago. It is very similar, right down to the ribbon! Just know when you see it that I wasn’t being a copycat. Have a great weekend!
Ohhhh I can’t wait to see what you make Marie! Yay to you getting ahead of the game!
Your new Christmas stencils look awesome! Thank you for featuring my tartan trees.
Thanks Claire! I need to get downstairs and get that paint out next!
I know you guys are done with Thanksgiving, but we’re still strattling the Thanksgiving/Christmas fence down here:) Thanks for hosting, Donna! Heading out to finish up the Fall yard cleanup…
HAHA! It still looks like fall in our area as well. Lots of leaves to clean up. But the inside of my house is fair game! By the way, I eventually share my Christmas home tour on Christmas Eve so there’s that… haha
I really love the tweed trees. I am in love with plaid and have a long strip of satin and I never knew what to do with it. Now I know. It’s past Christmas as I write this but as I see it, trees exist all year, so I have no problem displaying them and giving them as gifts as well. Thank you for your amazing inspiration.
