Free Joy to the World Printable
I’m doing another FREE printable blog hop today, because I had so much fun with the last one, and who doesn’t love free stuff? This is the easiest holiday decorating you will ever do, just print them out and pop them in a frame, done and done! No wrestling with Christmas lights necessary. I made this Joy to the World printable this time around.
My Christmas Decor this year is kind of a old school-rustic-flannel-cozy sweater-red-white-plaid-classic-deer inspired thing…
clearly I need to work on a catchier name.
I wanted this printable to look like a cozy old sweater your Great Aunt Martha would knit you…except, instead of wearing it to an ugly sweater party, you hang it on the wall :)
I hung it in my entry above my wine wrack and I love the cozy welcome when I come home.
Or I did until this happened… (panicked iPhone photo, because I clearly have my priorities straight – capture hilarious event for the blog and then clean up the wine spill that threatens to ruin our carpet…)
I know, it was the saddest thing ever…the Mr.’s team at work gave him this bottle of wine in a cute cozy sweater for Christmas and my printable just had to go and take it out. I think it must have been jealous of it’s actual sweaterness vs the faux look.
Apparently it needed a bubble wrap sweater to save it from the fall. And I’m not gonna lie there was a moment there where I was tempted to lick the floor, because it smelled so good. Then I realized it was 10 in the morning and I was still in my bathrobe… I could just imagine a neighbor dropping by while I was licking wine off the floor in my bathrobe surrounded by broken ornaments…I mean, that’s  a bit crazy even for me :)
Anyways, I suggest securing yours to the wall better than I did! You can print off the 8 x 10 version by clicking on this link

Happened to come to your site through happenstance. Your blog title reminded me of a story I thought you might get a kick out of. My family (mother, father, & me) were living in a quaint old stone house in the hills of NC called “Jackson Lake.” I was 4 at the time. It was summer and mother and I used to go swimming in the lake which was filled with licorice-smelling waterlilies, most every day (It was hot!). I loved it! My mother was a nurse and pretty protective (since my foot had slipped under the power lawn mower as my father was mowing the lawn, the previous year). One of our kindly hillbilly neighbors (they must have gotten the idea for Little Abner from the Jackson Lake community) told my mother that our lovely lake was filled with water moccasins. That sadly, was the last of our swimming adventures. I’ve always adored waterlilies because of that lake and the wonderful licoricy smell of the lovely flowers that grew in it!
