Happy Monday!

Can you believe it’s the first day of December?

I just ordered my first Christmas gift yesterday….at least it’s a start.

This is going to be a great week.

Today begins our 12 Days of Christmas Tour and the tour goes through Saturday.

Let’s go…

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me……

Partridge in a Pear Tree 12 Days of Christmas Tour Petticoat Junktion

A Partridge in a Pear Tree

I really enjoyed making this project.

Probably because it was so simple.

Christmas stencil project Petticoat Junktion

I dug through a box of frames and found this green one……perfect.

A friend of mine cut a bunch of mat board in 8×10 size for me a few years ago and I still have a couple of those.

The stencil came from Hobby Lobby.

First thing I did was staple the mat board to the back of the frame.

Then I got out all my brushes and paints….ready to stencil.

It didn’t take long at all.

Remember my number one tip for stenciling……a very, very, dry brush!

perfection not required…perfectly imperfect

I decided not to stencil any words on the framed tree so I can use it year round.

But I did have this wreath….purchased on a junkin’ trip….and the combo of framed Partridge in a Pear Tree and green wreath are perfect for Christmas.

What do you think?

The links to today’s tour are below….and below that is the Welcome Home Tour that also starts today.

Ya’ll keep your fingers crossed that I get something done before Thursday….my day for the Welcome Home Tour.

I haven’t decorated a single thing yet.

  1. Your tree stencil and green frame are so pretty that I know I’d find a way to use it year round. It looks very festive surrounded by the wreath for Christmas.

    Good luck with your decorating this week!

  2. That stencil is perfect for your theme, and I love that wreath! And don’t sweat the welcome home tour, Kathy! Keep it simple, I’m sure whatever you share will be lovely!

  4. I love it, it has that primitive look, but would fit in any décor. I haven’t started decorating yet and I don’t think I will put my big tree up this year, but I will decorate the mantel and put up the smaller trees so it will be festive in here. My big tree takes me two full days just to decorate, if I don’t do anything else, I say this every year and then I end up putting it up, LOL.
    Great job on your wreath, it amazes me how you think up these wonderful ideas.

  5. Very cute Kathy! I have that stencil and would have never thought to use it for my holiday decor. Thanks for the inspiration 🙂

  6. this is a great idea kathy looks so festive without being gaudy which so many Christmas decorations are, we love you too friend and hope things are better, as far as decorating you can use that big rusty thing i love so much and decorate your mantel you should be able to find tons of stuff in your tidy work space (wink) your house look awesome last year xx

  19. Such a cute job with this theme! The wreath is stunning too!
