Not just a Bento
Bento is a Japanese word for home packed meal.
My daughter is turning 2 next month and I want to prepare something light and cute for her Sunday school's friends. She likes Elmo so much but I had no luck with Elmo bento. I want the Bento to be an individual serving, or at least in a box so I don't have to deal wit serving and cleaning.

For the adults, I am thinking an 8x6x3" box

Christmas Ornament with old paint brushes
I didn't make these. I bought them at Michaels. They are inspiring DIY craft next Christmas, aren't they?
Why haven't I thought of this?
Till next years guys. Thanks for being a part of my Christmas this year.

{Christmas Decor}: Chandelier makeover
This chandelier has gone through many transformations. The original color was gold and I painted bronze. Then I added string of crystal beads, which looked OK. I have been meaning to take the beads down and Christmas is the best time.
The struggle with this chandelier is to find the right garland. I want it to look airy with some thought of vintage. I came across one at Joann for $24.99 with 50% off. The garland has vintage decoration on it already, such as small gift boxes, berries, pine cones and old mittens with snow man face on it.

| Felt Poinsettia with wooden buttons. Try to stay away from plastic products when decorating vintage. |
 |
| Pine cone with berries and leaf you can make yourself. I bought mine, removed the golden string and replaced it with jute. |
 |
| Lantern from Ikea |
 |
| This is the best lighting I can capture that represent best what I see above me while having dinner every night. Very magical. I don't know who started the Christmas color with red and green, but it is Brilliant. Just totally changed my mood and feeling. I wanna have Christmas all year long. |

{Christmas Decor}: Wreath journey from Trash to Treasure
You've heard the 'Happily Ever After' story about child adoption. Kudos to those people who has a big heart to open up their house to the needy kids. My version of adoption is getting stuff from consignment store and transform it into a master piece in my house. Due to super excitement I had to finish this project, I didn't take pictures of before and during transformation.
It was my lucky day to find all cone wreath with vines at Goodwill store. I am not sure what I was gonna do with it but I bought it anyway. Then one thing lead to another...
From $ 2.92 old looking wreath,
To trendy yet cozy looking wreath.
I've added only one berry branch that I cut into pieces $ 0.99, 1 branch of wooden buttons $ 4.99, 3 Snowmen that I purchased from Michael's a while ago $ 1.29 each and 2 Poinsettias at $2.20 each.
I am still working on this wreath so come back again to see the final master piece.

The story under my Christmas Tree
These pictures will let your imagination meandering of what has been and is till going on under my Christmas Tree.
 |
| Three little snowmen climbed up the ladder. Hmmm what were they up to? |
 |
| Someone caught them in action. Were they trying to get on the tree? |
 |
| Aha....they wanted a piece of Santa's cookie and milk. |
 |
| The cookies and milk for Santa are not there yet until the Christmas Eve so up to disappointment, they climbed back down. |
 |
| Happy Holidays everyone. We are on the 21th day till Christmas. have a safe and joyful Holidays. |
What is the story under your Christmas Tree?
Old {broken} window in lieu of picture frame
I am so excited to finally finish my mantel decoration. After visiting garage sales, consignment stores and my favorite flower supply vendors....
Here is my mantel :) I want it to have a little vintage touch, but on the cleaner side. Also something that I can add on to reflect the occasions.
The wrought iron basket on right is a place to put TV remote control etc.
I re-painted an old broken window since I saw inspiration from a local store. They put different printed card stock paper behind the glass window but I am planning to put my daughter's picture instead. The original design didn't have the ducks, instead it was a black and red picture frame. Now the frame is on the table underneath the mantel. That table will be my next project :)
Books from Goodwill store for $ 1.25.
Hope you are inspired with my design.

| This pine cone can be replaced with stack of mini pumpkins for Halloween and Thanksgiving |
