heidi of my paper crane has been killing it this holiday season with awesome decorations, baking, packages and projects. for real – her style is really very great and i could creepily talk about it for a long time. instead, just go on over there and check out what she has been up to - including these awesome diy snow globes!

holiday home inspiration of the art of display of vintage christmas in the corners of my home sweet home

3 of my favorite things: peeking inside the homes of others, displaying stuff and christmas decorations (and crafts). so it makes sense that the flickr pools Corners of My Home and The Art of Display are blowing my mind right now with amazing photos of people’s christmas decorating! Holiday Home Inspiration, Vintage Christmas and Home Sweet Home also have some fun christmas stuff. take a little click-see and check them out .

orange you glad it's almost christmas?

heidi at my paper crane made these orange cinnamon rolls. we have these on christmas morning every year. we were the kids who had to pack hummus for school lunch WAY before it was a normal food, so i'm not sure how pilsbury pop rolls became a tradition, but i'm not arguing! we normally bake them on a sheet individually, but this regular cinnamon way looks way better. there is usually lots of icing left over and this way we can pile that stuff on bigtime!

PS: i'm sure that heidi's were totally homemade, she is cool like that. but still.
