We cut down a few trees in our yard this summer, so I just grabbed a few different stumps and put them on the porch with the wooden ski poles I made (tutorial).
This large vintage metal watering can is on the other side of the door. I added a few poinsettias and pine brances and I absolutely love it!
I used things I already had and just tried to group them together to make them work.
The vintage red metal tractor is from my husband’s grandma. I made a little cart to go behind it so that I could use it as a Christmas decoration. The wire basket is full of Christmas books for the kids to read.
I made a nativity set from white cardstock that I cut with my Silhouette machine. I love, love, love how it turned out!
Here’s a little close-up:
The last third of the media cabinet holds more little Christmas trinkets, but I like how they pop with the gray background.

I love everything that you've done in your home, however, when I saw that Case Tractor I wanted to know where it came from! You answered my question below the picture but it so reminded me of my father-in-law who passed a couple of years ago as he had one of these! I would love to have one!!

Hey Deonna, I love that tractor too. I hope you can find one some day! I'm actually doing a separate post about the tractor tomorrow. I literally JUST finished writing it up!

Hi! How are you? Looking for a paper nativity dyi I found your blog, and I’m in love with it! I’m wondering if you have the template for the nativity scene? It’s the most beautiful I have seen!! I would be so so grateful if you could tell me! Thank you already! Have a beautiful Christmas!

I purchased it from the Silhouette Design Store.

Absolutely beautiful!
How does your Nativity stand up?
I’m not how to do that. I have a silhouette and would love a “free standing” Nativity.
Thank You!

Each piece of the nativity has a little triangle of paper glued to the back to help them stand up.
