I love being home for Christmas. Yes, spending time with loved ones is special, but there's also the time you get to spend by yourself - if you're lucky. This is the time I get to do the things I might never do on any given day. Once I get the initial "Ugh, I'm so bored!" out of my system, I get the notion to do the things I really want to be doing. Out of boredom comes creativity. And in my case, my second 'annual' Christmas scene in a mason jar creation.
Isn't it cute? I picked up an antique Crown mason jar from a flea market for $2. The white sisal tree, snow and faux pearl beads come from
Michaels, and the little deer is by
Schleich Toys. I cut up some antique Christmas cards for the banner and the little birdy, and voila. I love the look of a vintage inspired Christmas decoration.
And if you're really bored, you can take your little creation on a sleigh ride photo shoot...
...or take a drive and snap beautiful winter scenes around town...
...or take a billion pictures of your dog in the snow because he's so darn cute...
...or if you're really feeling up to it - build a snowman!
Merry, Merry Christmas!
