I didn’t feel like making another December Journal this year, so I didn’t plan for one. But this week, with just a few days left before Christmas Eve (we celebrate on December 24th here in Sweden) I have felt those December Feelings once again. I’m such a late bloomer, in many ways, but that’s okay […]

31+ Creative Christmas Ideas
There are way too many “must do” and “have to fix” things crammed into the month of December if you ask me. Since it is the last month of the year I think we should calm down a bit and only do fun, creative things that makes us happy. Make your own list of December […]
Kitschy Fabric Christmas Cards
As I was looking through old photos I found this Christmas card I did a few years ago. Now I can’t remember who I sent it to, but I remember not liking it at all, probably because it doesn’t have any pink or glitter… :-) Today as I see it with new eyes I absolutely […]
It’s all in the little details
A mountain is composed of tiny grains of earth. The ocean is made up of tiny drops of water. Even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches, and thoughts. And the consequences whether good or bad of even the least of them are far-reaching. Sivananda Oh, I know! You are […]
The December Journal part III
Today part III of browsing through the pages of The December Journal, the never ending story… Hehe, actually today I will show you the last pages of this journal, not all are finished spreads but ready to be used when Christmas 2011 comes around and as you all know, that will happen sooner than we […]
The December Journal
The December Journal is here, and it’s lovely. Remember the pile of papers and Christmas ephemera I collected on my desk in December? I turned the whole pile into a December Journal full of Christmas Evidence! Most of the pages are sewn on the sewing machine and the journal itself is spiral bound. I’ve got […]
December Journal in progress
I decided to go ahead and make myself a Christmassy December Journal anyway, even though it was half through December and I really didn’t have the time to do it. Sometimes when there is no time you just have to ignore that and do your thing anyway. Especially if it makes you happy. Sewing papers […]
Swedish Saffron Buns a.k.a. Lussebullar
Every year about this time we make a batch of yummy saffron buns. It is one of my favorite traditions even though I otherwise avoid the kitchen. This year I have decided to share the recipe here on my blog. It is because of Pam’s International Winter Holiday Cookie Recipe Swap (love the festive name!), […]
Collage time during the Holidays
Today I must say like Jeannine of four rooms blog who wrote; So much to “report” but my inner-reporter is – surprisingly – feeling very quiet at the moment. I think I’m also still a little rusty from my blogging break. I’ve come home from my holiday and celebrated Christmas with my family. Straight from […]
Make Smiling Snowmen Gift Tags
Oh my, when I got started on making tags I couldn’t stop. After The Glitterlicious Tags (with tutorial) I made a few other ones, and I thought I’d share how I made those too! How about a stenciled snowman with a smile on his face? Wanna come along? You still have time to make a […]
Gift Tag Tutorial Glitterlicious Style
I will not buy gift tags because I can make them myself. I don’t make them because I’m always so late when wrapping gifts! I don’t have the time for that last thing that makes each gift perfect… Catch-22, right? Nope, not this year! Look! I decided to make gift tags prior to wrapping the […]
Christmas tree: A bit of plaster and some glitter
Oh how I love silver glitter! Isn’t it great? Glitter is a perfect material for any decoration purpose, especially in December when both Christmas and sparkly New Year is coming up! Though I think this sparkle love is just the beginning for me. I haven’t nearly glittered enough in my life so far! I can’t […]
