I talked with a friend yesterday who said she’s having a hard time “getting in the Christmas spirit”. So I wondered if some of my readers might be having a hard time getting motivated.

So here are some pictures to inspire you. These are plaques are from Dollar Tree. They are really cute. I use my Dremel tool to “etch” in the lines. If you look closely, you can see the indentations. Then I wiped a stain over the whole thing because it was too white.

Here’s how I used them this year. I’m not nuts with the location but I couldn’t find anywhere else to put them.  If I have time I will mount them on some wood so they have more of an impact.

This is not my usual arrangement for the top of this cabinet. Here’s what it looked like last year.

All of these were handmade for me by a dear, dear friend and because of Rambo, I don’t want to take any chance they would get damaged.

Anyway, hope this helps you get in the mood.

God bless and have a great day.
