This time of year the cold, dry air always chaps my cuticles and dries my skin.  I find myself reaching for balms, salves and potions to combat the harshness of winter.  It's also true that this time of year, while I love to bundle up and enjoy the chill in the air, and look forward to the holidays with childish anticipation, I do often find myself feeling sluggish, even a little down. Does this happen to you? 

I'm working on fewer holiday projects this year while I focus on our upcoming remodel. I do have a few new ones up my sleeve, including a last minute gift DIY/stocking stuffer which I'll share on Wednesday, but for today, here are some of my favorite Christmas projects from years past.  Remember the pretty Paper Tree Skirt ?
