{12 Faves | 5 of 12} There are so many things around my house that make me smile this time of year. I want to share a few with you…

I LOVE wrapping presents and making bows. I’ve even been employed to do it for a boutique and small business before. I could do it all day long, especially with high quality and beautiful papers and trimmings.
I have an annual Christmas party coming up this week, and I have a friend who will be attending that has a tradition of wearing a bow on her head for the occasion. I couldn’t pass up making her a bow fascinator to wear for the evening. It’s made from 3″ deco mesh, red crinkle, a couple of shatter-proof ornaments, and a satin-covered head band. I know she will love it!

This is another favorite from our Christmas wedding shower a few years back. We affectionately call him “Crooked Santa,” and he’s one of Mr. J’s favorites, too. We didn’t realize until we were taking him out the next year that Puppy Tucker chewed his nose off…oopsie! Every year, he curls up next to our TV…front and center, for sure!

We received this beautiful book as a wedding gift at our Christmas shower. It’s so colorful and engaging, and I know it will be ever more special when we start the tradition of reading it to our child(ren) through the years!
