Christmas Kitchen Table AGAIN and Some Awards

Well, this makes three different things I've done on my kitchen table and I think I'll stick with it and not change again. I put out some Santa placemats which I'm sure my son will be pulling off as soon as he notices them. I wrapped some boxes in my pretty Hobby Lobby paper I shared with you last week and put greenery around it. I used my $1 yard sale bowl to put everything in. I'm pretty satisfied, but there are always much cuter ideas out there. I just want to use stuff I have and not have to spend much money. I am going to try to stay away from HL and Michaels because I can't seem to leave those places empty handed. Ya know?!




I am the worst person to give an award to because I take forever to post about it. I am going to try to be better and not be so slack. I really do appreciate the awards and feel very flattered that people actually read and like my blog.

Erin (www.shadesofcolorpoci.blogspot.com) gave me this award:

I love the wrapped presents in the bowl...I bought that same paper this year and never thought about using black ribbon...love it! I have tried not to buy much this year as well, just re-purposing things I already have.

What a great idea, the gifts in the basket? I've been searching for the right thing to fill a basket on my coffee table with - and I think this might be the ticket! Thanks for your wonderful inspiration! I've got Christmas stuff up from my living room right now, love it if you'd come by and let me know what you think!
