Country Sampler Farmhouse Style Magazine Christmas and Winter Features and a Giveaway!

November 4, 2021

This year I was honored to have two of my Christmas DIY's featured by Country Sampler Farmhouse Style magazine -- one in their Christmas issue and the other in their Winter issue. Today I'd like to share those DIY projects with you in anticipation of Christmas! (And be sure to read to the end of this post to find out about the GIVEAWAY!)

First up is my feature in Country Sampler Farmhouse Style magazine's 2021 Winter issue. 


Farmhouse Christmas Crafts With Bottle Brush Trees

While the magazine feature focused on this vignette with bottle brush trees and vintage spools, my blog post offers a plethora of ways to use bottle brush trees, mini baking tins and spools for creating vintage Christmas vignettes.

So be sure to stop by Farmhouse Christmas Crafts Using Bottle Brush Trees, Vintage Spools and Mini Baking Tins for all the details. If you end up reading about it in the magazine, it's on page 18.

Next up is my feature in Country Sampler Farmhouse Style magazine's 2021 Christmas issue.

Oh Holy Night DIY farmhouse Christmas sign


They featured my Oh Holy Night DIY farmhouse Christmas sign.

While I did not make the "joy" wood bead garland, I added it to the vignette because I thought it went well with my DIY sign.

My actual blog post about this DIY farmhouse Christmas sign is chock-full of tips and tricks for creating your own stencil with the reverse transfer method -- it's simple, and I describe it in great detail so that you can easily and inexpensively make your own DIY farmhouse Christmas sign! 

So be sure to stop by DIY Farmhouse Christmas Sign With Wood Bead Handle for all the details. If you end up reading about it in the magazine it's on page 60.


I'd just like to thank Country Sampler Farmhouse Style magazine for including me in their Christmas and Winter issues, respectively. It's always an honor! 

Both magazines are overflowing with gorgeously decorated homes as well as great ideas, DIY's and tips and tricks to help you create a festive home for you and your family this Christmas. I strongly urge you to go out and buy them if at all possible! You won't regret it. You can pick them up at select locations, including Barnes and Noble, as well as online.

GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED! CONGRATULATIONS, FONDA!
