New Year's Decorations & Dual Dollhouses!!

I love our lazy Christmas break schedule...smile. I spent yesterday organizing my craft room (and my new jelly cupboard...pictures to come later) and putting together a few New Year's decorations. I had a box of vintage Christmas bell ornaments just waiting to be re-purposed.

Last year for New Year's, I decorated our dining room chandelier with these moon and champagne girl images found on the Graphics Fairy.

If you are into subway art, you can find this free printable here.
Don't forget to pick up the paper horns and party hats from $ Tree! You can always embellish them further with left over Christmas trim and garland.


Two Crazy Crafters have these lovely vintage images.


Don't forget to check out Family Fun.
They have loads of New Year's ideas!
Wishing you all a crafty and relaxing week ahead!

PS. The dollhouse has been in constant use this week.

We even have out Emma's dollhouse


(my childhood dollhouse...complete with stained glass windows)
Thank you for playing with your little sis, Emma!

  3. LOVE the decorations, Sigh, now I'll be singing Auld Lange Syne (spelling?) all day and smiling - if I get picked up for evaluation, I'm calling you to explain it all.

  4. I love the party hat and the cute little garland. I have simply lost steam and hope to regain some today as Michael returns to work and I gain two extra kids! Looks like my craftroom is calling and the doors going to be locked! Have wonderful crafty day. That pic of the girls is worth a thousand words...Renee

  6. I am loving the Christmas break too! It's so nice to not be on a schedule, isn't it?

    I love the chandelier! I was hoping you would post it again. The graphic of the girl on the champagne bottle is one of my favorites!

  7. You must be type A personality-always busy on some new project or decorations. Wish I had half your drive. You are inspiring...but I think I will go sit and read a book and dream a bit. So nice to be home!
    Thanks for sharing pictures of the girls playing with their dollhouses. Love to see Emma still have the joy of play!

    Hope to have some pics up soon!

    Happy New Year hugs,

  13. Looks like the girls are loving the dollhouse. I am loving all your photographs in this post. The bells and garland are just lovely. I have never really decorated for New Years (just CNY!), thanks for all of this inspiration.

  14. Oh my gosh, I feel like such a loser. I NEVER decorate for New Years! Love the moon especially. : )

    Ugh, still fighting a cold after a week, but at least I wasn't sick for Christmas like last year. We're about to have our attic converted into a bedroom so our kids could finally have separate bedrooms. So our whole house is a disaster! Everything from the attic had to come downstairs and in our tiny little house...we're crammed in here like sardines. The saga continues....

  16. You really amaze me Kim, you always go all out for each holiday and I love seeing what you do! Your New Year's decorations are so pretty all done up with the aqua blues and love those vintage silver bells and the postcards you shared from Twyla :)

    I'm sooo enjoying the pics of the dollhouse...I cannot believe how little those santas and trees are inside...just too cute!
    Happy New Year to you and your family!
    Big hugs,
    Queenie
