Merry Christmas Ombre Pallet

Disclosure: I receive payments for referrals to Social Spark. You can too! See below!
I figured I ought to have a Christmas Pallet like I had a Thanksgiving Pallet. Easy to make and looks lovely as decor. I just love this time of year!!

To make this I just chose some fun Christmassy colors and darkened them (or lightened them) to make the colors you see on the pallet. Then I used a stencil for some snowflakes. I free-handed the smaller ones. I used another stencil for the letters. Pretty simple!!




I hope you are all having a great December!!!!

I also wanted to tell you about the awesomest blog advertising company out there:

Someone Went To Get A Christmas Tree Yesterday........

We spent yesterday decorating our house and getting a Christmas tree. Someone came with us in her fancy winter sweater. Chloe loved all the smells and the chance to lick as many new faces as she could.  We would have taken buddy but we were afraid of the potential for havoc that comes with bringing Buddy anywhere. Don't get me wrong, he's a sweetie....he's just a lab. :-) 

Now, we're just waiting to see how many ornaments he is going to pull off the tree!!
