Merry Grinchmas
THIS IS CHRISTMAS!
***
“Every Who down in Who-ville, the tall and the small,
Was singing! Without any presents at all!
He HADN'T stopped Christmas from coming!
IT CAME!
Somehow or other, it came just the same!
“And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow,
stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes, or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before.
What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store? What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.”
~ Dr. Seuss (How the Grinch Stole Christmas!)

DIY Lemonade Stand:
I repurposed BB’s ‘Kissing Booth’ using the other side and painted over the pink with white paint on the top, leaving the front in its raw wood form.
I added those cute flags. Made from extra yellow file folders since I didn’t have yellow paper or yellow paint.
I wrapped the two columns with lemon garland twice to make it more full and use up the extra length.
I recycled a piece of cardboard that came with a thrift store frame I bought half a decade ago (it was the exact length and thickness I wanted). I covered it with wood grain contact paper and used the same yellow file folders for freehand block lettering. I’d like to take a second and reflect on how difficult M’s and N’s can be when you overthink it. Last minute I decided to add that lemon over my O because I realized I had forgotten the price sign and didn’t like it on the side or really anywhere else and it fit perfectly as an O in LEMONADE. And lemonade is not free.
I removed a few extra lemons from the garland and put them in my super cute footed bowl from Dylan Kendall. (shop here)!
And of course we had to have BB’s adorable Zest Friend as her little helper. (shop here)!
Finally the whole lemonade stand idea sparked from and revolved around BB’s lemon-printed Frenchie harness (Large) It’s sold out but more can be found here. And we added her daisy-shaped sunnies last minute which rounded out the whole vibe. (shop here)!

My New Gourd-Friend
Meet my new gourd-friend. His name is Jackson but he goes by Jack. Oh, he can be a bit seedy at times, but I won’t let that squash our relationship. I just tell him to “Cut-It-Out!” and toss him some spiciness of my own. I admit I keep him on a tight vine.
He says we are a “patch made in Heaven.” Awe…
The thing about Jack is he is a bit of an agourdaphobic. He prefers to stay in and get lit at home. But at least once a year or so he feels comfortable with going out. And boy when he does, he gets smashed and really lets loose.
He’s no prince, he’s a Pun-King.

I spent pretty much all day Saturday making those tiny diy witches hats for BB’s Sanderson Sisters toy dolls and while the details are mostly lost in the photo, here’s what I did. Also, I only noticed we forgot to include BB’s witches broom after I told her we got the shot. And yeah, good luck mimicking that stellar catch light and perfectly perked ears. So it is what it is.
I found the witches’ hat template online (here). I decreased its size to 70% and printed it on standard printer paper. I cut those out and used them as my first set of stencils. Then I traced the two pieces on heavier card stock sheets and cut those out. I rolled the pieces around to give them movement. Then I used those cardstock pieces as my new set of stencils and traced them on black glittery adhesive foam sheets (here) and cut those out. I adhered the foam to my cardstock pieces, stuffed the top triangle into the bottom ring, and then used whatever random things I had on hand to decorate. For Mary’s hat, I use some adhesive gold pyramid studs and scrap pieces as stitching for an interesting fashiony detail. Winifred’s hat I wrapped a small piece of a charcoal loofa I had and secured it with black electrical tape and also added the tape and the same gold pyramid studs around the base of her top. I love electrical tape because it looks like leather on small projects. And for Sarah’s hat, I kept it simple. I took a bubble gum pink rose bead I had and colored it with a black sharpie marker then took a q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol and stamped the ridges of the flower so it would smear the black marker into the pink and turn it into a gothy deep purple color. Then I just simply hot glued the rose bead to her hat base once it dried. I also added scrap foam pieces to make the back have the appearance of stitches, again a detail you don’t see in a one-dimensional photo. You could use the same template for any size witches hat you’d like by increasing or decreasing the size before printing it out. I found the mini brooms from the fairy/dollhouse section at Michael’s, (here). I was going to make them but my supplies alone would have cost more than $4.00 and they were thee perfect size for these little witches.
