Christmas vignette

I had fun whipping up this vignette in the living room for my beloved Santa Claus. He always has a special spot in our house when he visits.


I wrapped a present to go inside an estate sale sleigh with Kraft paper and ribbon. I love using that paper to wrap gifts in; it's so inexpensive and simple, leaving extra money to buy beautiful ribbon.


This year Santa sits on my favorite piece of furniture...an antique dresser that holds all my "special" seasonal things that need a safe place to stay.


I love this reindeer with his funny bobble head....he even has a tiny pinecone for a tail! I better get back to work trying to uncover my dining room table from all the decorations and glitter.

  9. Julie, I don't have a good tip to share...I just use more tape on the bottom to keep it together.
