oh what fun!!! up-cycling an old board.

we live in a forest by the sea.  i'm so far way from where i grew up, in sunny southern california where the holidays are much, much different.  up here, you'd think that it was christmas all year round, because deer, holly and pines are everywhere.  but it isn't. i mean, duh, obvz....but wow. when winter comes and the days get short with starry skies hanging low....every time you walk outside it literally smells like christmas trees and cocoa.  it is magic.

i was so inspired, creatively, this season. i was crafting and cooking and shnuggling with my fam non stop. kept myself so busy that i hardly blogged anything i did. the shnugz were that good! 

so, i will save all of it to post and help inspire you next year but will leave you with this. this old board, paint chipped and cast off. the thing somehow made it into my living room and stayed there for about 2 months before i finally threw the thing outside. my man wasn't doing it. so i did. 

the next day, however, i had the idea to do this whole scene on the wall by our tree, "oh, what fun!".  so, i went and grabbed the old sad board and gave him a wash. if he had a tail, it'd be wagging. went at it with a thick tipped sharpie and viola! such an easy wall piece. 

happy holidays er'buddy and here's to loving you all right up in the new year!!
