La Posh Style $50 Giveaway!

Last fall, I came across a giveaway (I don’t remember where) but I entered and didn’t win. However, after visiting the shop online and selecting a favorite item for my chance to win…I couldn’t help adding a few things to my Christmas wish list.

So, today I’m sharing the banner I made a few weeks ago and posted at the DIY Club. A banner for our dining room mantel – Time to pray, eat & love…
