Coffee and a Frame

I'm working on my last order today, which will hopefully ship out tomorrow (for you, Sara M.!) and then I'm done! The area underneath my Christmas tree needs some serious attention. I'll be back with a couple of fun posts about my girls and their Christmas outfits, but then I'll go silent for a little while to spend time with my family. We are pretty heavy into traditions at our house and we've added some new fun ones this year, so I'll try to be back to share about our family celebrations.

The coffee canister was a request by my mother-in-law, which I thought was a pretty ingenious use for it since it is airtight. I took a similar route and made ours a marshmallow container for the "hot chocolate station" on the kitchen island. The marshmallows do tend to disappear faster, though, since they're sitting right out in the open like that, but they look really cute and festive.

The frame is a little hard to see since it's all packaged up and ready to go, but I didn't want to untie everything just for a better picture. The scripture is James 1:17 -- "Every good and perfect gift is from above." Very fitting for any occasion, but never more appropriate than at Christmas time.
