​​THESE KITS CAN BE PRINTED AND CUT BY HAND, THEY DO NOT REQUIRE A CUTTING MACHINE

Don't throw away those empty ribbon spools!
(As if I have to tell a crafter not to throw something away!)
We are going to make cute Vintage - Inspired String Spools

These empty spools are almost 4" round, So I made this FREE printable 3.75" (increase or decrease image as needed). I taped a piece of yarn and wrapped it around the spool a few times. Twine would be really cute too. Print the image on sticker paper or regluar paper and adhere with glue.
Cute scrapbook paper would work too. What a great way to use up those scraps.

These are perfect for a vintage-inspired Christmas decor.
I made these for my tree and they're super simple!

I picked up these wooden shapes the Dollar Tree. Most craft stores are going to have these kinds.

I measured them and found images to add to the front. Use websites like Creative Fabrica, The Hungry Jpeg, Pixabay and Freepik. I printed them on sticker paper, (< link here)
but you can use regular paper and mod podge to adhere them. I didn't mod podge (< link here)
the front, but of course, you can if you'd like.

After you print your images, flip the picture over and trace the shape of your wooden piece.
Cut the image out and adhere it to the front. I added brown stain to the edges to give them
a vintage-feel. Hot glue a ribbon to some twine to the back to make your hanger.

I buy cotton fabric in fun prints, tear them in strips. I've made garland for my tree with these prints and am using the leftover fabric to make these rag ribbons. I used zip-ties to gather them together, but of course, you can use ribbon or twine. I used packing tape to adhere the zip-tie to the back.

If you make some, please tage me on social media. I'd love to see how yours turn out!

Enjoy The Songs of Christmas!
When it comes to Lauren Daigle, the only thing more powerful than the voice of this two-time GRAMMY-Award winner and multi-platinum-selling artist is her message. And this year, her first full-length Christmas television special Christian pop artist Lauren Daigle celebrates her first full-length Christmas television special, “Christmas Under The Stars with Lauren Daigle.” 

You’ll hear Lauren’s Christmas memories and the influences of New Orleans Jazz in her renditions of Christmas classics and beloved originals from her Christmas album Behold in this intimate concert experience.

Her soulful and peaceful voice leads a sweet rendition to the Christmas classics, including my all time favorite, Little Drummer Boy.

This is music you want playing while you're wrapping your gifts, sipping hot cocoa by the fireplace or enjoying your Christmas meal with your family.

This year, of all years, is a time to be grateful and appreciate the good things in life, especially the love from our Savior, for whom we celebrate this time of year.

If you love Christmas music and Lauren Daigle, be sure to watch Christmas Under the Stars

In an effort to make as many vintage-inspired Christmas decor this year, I designed this sign that you can make easy peasy and for about $1!

You'll need oval shaped wooden pieces (mine are from The Dollar Tree and they measure 8.5"x5")
I printed mine on sticker paper, but you can use regular paper and some glue.
The background of the image is a little larger than you'll need, so lay your wooden piece on top of your print out and trace around it.
After adhering it to the wood, I gently sanded all the edges down. No need for sealing it.
I hot glued a piece of twine to the back so I can hang it over my Christmas Cocoa Bar.
If you make one, please tag me on social media #victoriathatcher so I can see!
Merry Christmas!!

  The CSB presents the truth of God's Word with accuracy and clarity for today's readers, equipping them for lifelong discipleship. The CSB is for everyone--for the youngest readers, those new to church, and long-time believers. It's a Bible pastors can preach from and a Bible you can share with your neighbor hearing God's Word for the very first time.
  
  
  
• 1,200+ images, maps, and illustrations with descriptive captions.
• 275 in-depth commentary articles describe the world and culture of the Bible.
• 40+ “Digging Deeper” call-outs strategically placed throughout the Bible.
• Book introductions explain the setting, circumstances, and structure of writing for each book, as well as its contribution to the Bible.
• Intentionally designed pages to optimize the visual reading experience.
• Two-column text, topical subheadings.
• 9.5-point type.
• Easy-to-read black-letter text.
• Table of weights and measures.

I've always loved restaurants that show pictures of the dishes. Although the description is accurate,
a picture is worth a 1000 words. With more than 1,000 carefully selected photos of real artifacts from the past,the Holy Land Illustrated Bible is more than a feast for the eyes—it opens up the biblical world so that our minds can understand, treasure, and apply all of God's Word.

The book itself is substantial and has two ribbon bookmarks for quick reference and page marking. The pages are smooth, a little thicker than scritta paper that most bibles are made of.

This would make a beautiful Christmas present for the person in your life "who has everything"
....or even yourself!

Some elements of this kit was created using The Naughty or Nice November Bundle from

I made the most adorable shirt today and wanted to share it with you.
I've included all the resources I used.

I found this cute baseball tee on Walmart's website. I thought it was perfect for Christmas time here in Las Vegas, it doesn't get very cold and I rarely get the chance to wear a hoodie or sweatshirt. Click on the picture to take you to the shirt. It comes in a cinnamon color too that would be adorable for Autumn or you could make a sports-themed one.

I knew I wanted a vintage-y feel, so I found this Santa SVG file for FREE at favpng.com
(link on pic below)  and you can download up to 2 files per day for FREE!

I also wanted to add some wording, so I downloaded this SVG file from The Hungry Jpeg. It's in the Naughty or Nice November Bundle. (Link in pic)

My favorite part :) I uploaded the images into Design Space. I cut the Santa out in a dark red and the wording in black. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how it came out!
Of course my Toby had to photobomb my photoshoot.
