Dear DIY readers…I’d like you to meet Lindsey: talented crafter, baker and DIY’er at the blog Todd & Lindsey.

Last month, I hosted a Christmas Tree Contest. When I went to make the announcement in the last DIY Holiday Highlights party, I must have gotten sidetracked and dropped the ball. I’m so sorry! Way to go, right? {hanging my head in shame}

Thankfully, the winner is super sweet and patient. I’m excited to share that the Christmas tree with the most likes is…

Todd&Lindsey and their budget Christmas tree:

beautifully decorated with some DIY ornaments including:

With her mix of beautiful handmade ornaments, it’s no wonder she’s a winner. Congratulations, Lindsey!

Her inspiring Christmas tree led me to another post, which prompted more looking around…little does she know, I didn’t just visit one post, I invited myself to take a look around and fell in love. So much goodness to see. Here is just a peek of the DIY (and more) goodness you’ll find at Todd & Lindsey…

Conversational Heart Garland Wreath – super cute for Valentine’s Day!

DIY light bulb pears…adorable!

a lovely home tour…

beautiful muslin rosette wreath tutorial…

and look at this LOW CARB pizza…yum!

I spy so much inspiration. See more DIY, tons of delicious recipes and more at…

DIY Holiday Highlights #7

Posted on December 26, 2012 by Roeshel

How was your Christmas? Are you glad it’s over? Does it stretch out with more celebrations and get-togethers this weekend? We’re hosting a small party on Friday and then the weekend plans include packing up holiday decorations. I don’t know about you but I love putting it all away just as much as decorating it all up. It feels so de-cluttered and clean, doesn’t it?

Just a quick post today…I wanted to open the DIY Holiday Highlights party for this week, for those who have some holiday related posts to share because the days after Christmas will be quiet in the DIY Show Off house {Mr. DIY is back to work, girls are gone and I’m snowed in} and I’d love to see the holiday posts you’ve been sharing on your blog.

Yesterday, I posted our Christmas home tour. You’re invited to stop by. I’d love your company. 🙂

DIY Show Off Holiday Home Tour 2012

Posted on December 24, 2012 by Roeshel

Well, Merry Christmas, friends! I can’t believe it’s here! I love Christmastime. Today and tomorrow you’ll find us surrounded by family {in-laws today, my family tomorrow}. Since we won’t be having the entertaining and get togethers at our home this year, I wanted to invite you to see all of our holiday decorating in one post {although I know you’ve seen bits and pieces the past couple of weeks}.

C’mon in and make yourself at home. 🙂

The family room isn’t completely “done” in the way of remodeling, but I really enjoyed decorating the mantel and white Christmas tree this year. And if you’ve been following along, no I never did get the curtain panels finished. There’s always the new year!

The living room is all classic and traditional. I couldn’t get great pictures of the mantel or built in bookcases or garland on the stairway. All I have to share is a picture of the tree, our main tree. It’s the one Santa targets for stashing gifts…
