I stuck the whole thing right into this basketty plant pot I had.

Happy Christmas Eve Eve, everyone!I know you’re all super busy right now and I really appreciate you stopping by to see me today.

I whipped up this little Christmas Eve note to Santa in charcoal and red for us to put out with our milk and cookies for Santa tomorrow night and I thought I might as well share it with you.Just one more little thing to make the evening even more fun for the little ones..I thought it would be easy enough to pop it into a frame, and that would look great.

Unfortunately, I realized that digging through boxes to find an empty frame wouldn’t exactly be possible while holding Jack in the other hand, so I settled for a clipboard with a little bit of ribbon tied on.It’s perfect and it took 3 seconds!.

I sat it on the desk in the kitchen that I’ve been unsuccessfully attempting to decorate this year.. Something about it just isn’t coming together quite right this time, so I haven’t shared it on the blog.

There’s always next year!.I just swirled a bit of it inside this mason jar, let it dry upside down on some paper towels overnight and I had myself a happy glossy red jar!.

I love its retro look with the white berries in it..They kind of remind me of bubbles!

…which is not Christmassy at all, but still, somehow it works!.The table and the jar are the perfect easy little additions to this room’s Christmas decor and I’m so glad CIL gave me the excuse to play around and do this little project!.
