Such great ideas for Christmas! Will definitely have to color pencil Santa for next Christmas. Got to help decorate my cousin’s Christmas tree since I couldn’t do mine this year! Merry Christmas!
Oh, Amy! Everything you do is so thoughtful and a true delight! I am so grateful for our friendship and I so look forward to the upcoming year ahead! <3 you, my talented and beautiful friend! Merry Christmas to you and your family! xo
Another fun idea, thank you. One year I had one of my paintings made into Christmas cards, it was really fun to send them. I thought I would do a painting for a card every year, but never got to it after the first one. So many ideas, so little time. Enjoy the season!
In my temporary living arrangement everything that I use to decorate the holidays are still in boxes. The only sign that physically shows in this place that the holidays are upon us are the Christmas cards that have been received from family and friends. It’s definitely a year that has allowed me to reflect on Christmas’ past and the fond memories that were made. But, this year has shown me that without decorations, cookies, lights, and tree there are other “gifts” that I can take comfort in. Health, food, my family, a roof over my head, friends, and above all my spirituality and love in my heart. I think that without all the hustle and bustle this year, it has allowed me time to step back and admire the beauty that others create for their homes and businesses. I absolutely enjoyed the view of your home dressed up for the season. You have wonderful decorating tastes and you so warmly share your love of Christmas by putting out your “welcome” mat for your viewers to see through the photos you share of your lovely abode. You are truly an inspiration to us all Amy and I wish you a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year. ❤️💚
So happy you have this time in your life to be still and appreciate all the beauty…..thank you always for your kind words that keep this girls creativity moving….wishing you and yours the merriest!
Glad you are still enjoying the glitter houses. I just had a glitter house party at church with about 25 or so, it was great fun and everything sparkled. Glad you are enjoying this holiday season. Look forward to creating together in the new year. Love and Blessings to you and Jerry this Christmas.
Thank you for such a beautiful gift! You always share your wonderful creativity with us all and we are so appreciative! Have a beautiful and Merry Christmas, my friend and a happy, healthy and creative new year ahead!
I just discovered you! I tried to find your old blogs/posts about your “Chalk(paint pencil) technique to learn more about it, but I couldn’t find them. Would you please send me a link to them so I can go back, read and catch up?
Thanks!

What a great idea and simple enough to do this with my granddaughter who loves to craft. The trick is to save the cookies for the inside of the bags 😋. Thanks for sharing this Amy. Have a blessed Thanksgiving.
Please send me an email to Classicamyjoanne@gmail.com what patterns you would like and I will email them and send the invoice, sorry for the inconvenience, Thank you
I love this post! I love seeing you put together all of these handmade TREASURES to make memories! What brilliant ideas! Thanks for sharing your creative mind with us! <3
Oh! How I love your decorating! 🙂 What a beautiful and cozy home you have. One of the best part of being an artist and designer is the ever-changing surroundings we call our ‘homes’. It reminds me of a kaleidoscope: a beautiful design that never will look the same again!
I found the perfect surface for this project at Target in the dollar section. They are wooden recipe cards. Three different choices, pumpkin pie, apple pie and pecan pie. I bought 10 of them.
Hi there Amy, this vignette is absolutely wonderful. It’s got so much character, creativity and fun. It’s all YOU! Your artistic ability never ceases to amaze me as well as your organizational, marketing and business skills that I’m sure are needed to be a successful blogger and business woman. You’re an inspiration and I have a funny feeling I’ll be looking at things from a Walmart and Dollar General a bit differently now 🤔🙂
I love this post! I love the way you coordinated everything to make such a lovely and inviting table. Sometimes the small details make a big difference! Thanks for sharing, Amy! <3
Hello
