And those things sure make us happy right alongside the paper Christmas decor.
On to “real” wall art though, on the topic of walls and with Christmas coming up, I just have to give a shout out to the sweetest blog reader who sent me such a kind gift before we left for China: prints of her beautiful temple illustrations.
I am in love with their simplicity and beauty.
I looked into her website HERE and she has some pretty unique and beautiful things.
I want to get this one to put in one of my teenager’s rooms: https://www.etsy.com/listing/159167939/be-yourself-8×10-print?ref=shop_home_active_22
And I love this one…what little girl wouldn’t always want to be kind if she saw this on the way out the door every day: https://www.etsy.com/listing/200669979/always-be-kind-digital-download-anything?ref=shop_home_active_1
I need this reminder every single day: https://www.etsy.com/listing/205404239/be-still-and-know-that-i-am-god-black?ref=shop_home_active_19
So many of those things (all kinds of notecards and prints) would make such great Christmas gifts but I think they have to be ordered by December 10th, which is coming right up…craziness.
Yes, there are so many ways to decorate our homes. I just hope we can fill our new one with the things that mean the most to us.

You can buy Christmas decorations in China.
I think you are smart to focus on the more disposable kind so you aren't shipping back tons of stuff.
Loved seeing my daughters talented artwork blessing your home! She is a young, at home mom and has found a beautiful way to spread sunshine across the world through her prints, paintings, and drawings. -Amy Call St George Utah 🙂
