Hey Everyone!  

It is 10:30 at night and I am just sitting down to post today's post.  What a crazy busy day working and putting up with this silly cold that I got from my sweetie!  I think he must have been breathing on me while we were sleeping.  :)

Because it is almost the end of Monday and almost the beginning of Tuesday, we are going to post two SALE ITEMS and count it for both days!  Great idea huh?  (Let's hope this works).  We are making these at our craft night on Thursday, but many of you have inquired about purchasing these finished because you are unable to attend the class.  Here is your chance!!!

Welcome to ~Make Your House A Home~ where we share fun ideas that ~Make Our House A Home~  I absolutely love putting up Christmas Tree's in all of our bedrooms.  Here are some pictures of the tree we put up in Chloee's room.  It was very in-expensive and really fun for Chloee and I.  We did everything together and had a blast. (It's all about the memories)

This is a picture of a breast cancer ribbon a dear friend of mine made for me and we just had to add it to our tree! ( Thanks Julia - :)  I purchased a box of  48 pink and purple ornaments at Wal-mart for a great price.  I added black wire hangers onto each one and wow,  we sure filled up her tree.  

 Chloee is a big fan of Build A Bear (Ok, so am I).  She has been collecting them for years, so we always incorporate them into her holiday decorations.  We wrapped a darling crocheted afghan (that Eric's mom made for her years ago) around the base of the tree for the tree skirt.  Then we placed her  Build A Bear friends around the bottom of the tree!  Super Cute huh?

 We sure love having a Pink Filled Tree.

 Another close up of the breast cancer ribbon 

 Another Fun bunny from Build A Bear - 

 Another small build a bear that we added onto the tree.  

 If you look close to this picture, you can see the pink candy canes.  We bought some plastic red and white candy cane ornaments at the dollar store and wrapped them in pink yarn.  It took Chloee and I about an hour and we filled her tree with them.  Again, another super easy, in-expensive idea.  The most important part is we did it together.  

 One more cute cuddly friend added to the tree. 

  Thanks for spending another fun Saturday with us.  Have a wonderful weekend and we will see you back here on Monday!!!

Good Monday Morning!!

So today was the big day for the "Last Cancer" surgery which would wrap up the reconstruction part of this whole Cancer Journey, however, we got a call this morning and plans have changed to a later date.  So here I am.  I have two posts for today.  As many of you may notice, I didn't have a ~Make Your House A Home~ post on Saturday.  We had so much work to get done before my surgery and I figured that was much more important.  So, how about today????  Unfortunately, my dear friend Mandy only took the picture right below...... I took the rest of them and you can tell I  am not a photographer, but hope you can over look that and enjoy these fun ideas.

Our Master Bedroom

This is the old tree we used to put in our front room.  After replacing this one with a bigger tree, I decided to put this in our master bedroom (I just started laughing when I typed master, because there is nothing master about it - LOL), but we love it anyway!  I added burlap, ribbon, berry balls, small signs, candy canes and white lights.  I just love the white lights.  I absolutely LOVE the tree skirt.  My friend Amy and I made these from burlap and muslin.  It took almost 1000 inches of burlap to make four of these skirts and it was a blast making them.  I placed a few pillows under the tree, a picture frame and one of our picture stands.

Perfect and beautiful at night!

 I kept the same comforter on the bed, but added a few new pillows.  My friend taught me how to sew pillow covers (that I can change out with the seasons) so I bought this beautiful green textured fabric and made four pillow covers and matching stockings to hang at the end of our bed.  After I crocheted the tan afghan a few months ago, I decided to crochet one for Christmas.  I used the same tan yarn and added  beautiful red and TaaDaa!!  

 Here is a close up of the stockings I made.  I used the green fabric for the base of the stocking and the handle and muslin for the cuff.  They are actually quite large (which I loved for our room).  I put a couple of the candy canes we made into the stocking along with some berries.  (I also stuffed garbage bags into the stockings so they would hold their cute shape better)

 I absolutely LOVE this North Pole bag.  About three years ago I purchased several yards of red burlap fabric (back before it was really cool to buy burlap fabric) and wanted to make these SANTA sacks to place under my tree.  Well, they didn't get made until this year.  We lined them with muslin fabric to make them a little stronger.  I cut out the stencil ~NORTH POLE~, stuck it onto the fabric and stippled white paint.  I tied a cream piece of burlap around the sack, folded down the cuff and tied on some rustic bells.  Isn't this super cute?????  I have two smaller bags and one larger bag.  

 Here is a picture of the Large Santa Bag.  This rocking chair used to be in my "Master" bedroom, but we had to move it out to put our tree in there.  I placed this chair next to the Large Christmas Tree in our front room and placed this bag on the chair.  I sure wish I could take better pictures, because my pictures just done do justice to how cute these bags are.

 This is a black wire basket I have had in our room for quite a while.  It was already full of twig balls, so I added some red berries and poinsettia leaves.  Love the splash of red!! 

Thanks for taking the grand tour of our "Master Bedroom".  Have a wonderful day!!

~Mandy~

Happy Lunch Time Everyone!!!
It has taken me a little bit to get this post done, because I was just finishing up Today's SALE ITEM.  It is a super fantastic item and the pictures just don't give justice to it.  Trust me...... they are much cuter in person!

Today's SALE ITEM is this

Set of 3 Christmas Presents

The best part about this item is you can order the pre-built boxes and finish them yourself by adding your own scrapbook paper, ribbon and fabric ...... or you can order them completely finished.  If you order the finished product, the paper may slightly differ from the picture depending upon availability.  The large box is 12"x12", the medium box is 10"x10" and the small box is 8"x8".  The boxes are hollow which is great for storage. 

The medium fits into the large and the small into the medium. (Good Thinking Huh??)

Finished Presents - $60.00

Presents Kit - $30.00

(Kit includes built boxes, pip berries & instructions) 

(Scrapbook Paper and Burlap not included)

 To place an order for the Finished Presents, please email us at ontheavenuelogan@gmail.com or use the BUY NOW option below.  We encourage you to use the BUY NOW option which allows you to order and pay for this item using your Paypal Account or a Debit/Credit Card.

To place an order for the Unfinished Presents Kit, please email us at ontheavenuelogan@gmail.com or use the BUY NOW option below.  We encourage you to use he BUY NOW option which allows you to order and pay for this item using your Paypal Account or a Debit/Credit Card.
