My go-to printer brand for years has been HP. I also use their ink supply service where I pay a monthly fee and they send me ink cartridges as needed. It comes out to be a lot less money this way and I don’t have to keep track because they do all the tracking for me. The HP Envy Inspire is a great-priced machine that will produce beautiful prints.

If you are looking for a great crafting-weight paper for printables, I have been using HP Project Paper. It is heavier than copier paper but not quite as heavy as cardstock. It is a great medium weight for layering, folding, and more!

Etching Holiday Decor

How to etch glass votives for the holidays.

with etchall creme

tea lights

These adorable tea lights feature the letters JOY etched onto them using etchall creme, adding a warm and festive touch to your holiday décor. Perfect for mantels, tablescapes, or cozy corners, they’re a charming way to brighten your seasonal celebrations!

materials

These festive tea lights were created using budget-friendly items from Dollar Tree: glass votives, candles, and baker’s twine. With the help of etchall crème to etch the letters “JOY,” they came together quickly for a charming and affordable holiday décor project!

vinyl on glass

After cleaning the glass votives with rubbing alcohol, I applied the cut vinyl letters to each one. The vinyl was cut using a Cricut Maker, and each letter was framed in a square for easy alignment. This step ensured the design was perfectly positioned before etching!

etchall creme

Apply etchall crème generously onto the vinyl-covered votives, ensuring the exposed glass is fully coated. Allow the crème to sit for 15 minutes to complete the etching process. Once done, scrape the crème back into its container—it’s reusable! Wash the glass votives with soap and water, then remove and discard the vinyl to reveal your beautifully etched design.

lit candles

To complete the candles, I applied a bit of buffing wax to the etched letters for a polished finish. Then, I wrapped baker’s twine around the top of each votive for a decorative touch and placed the candles inside.

A New Christmas Movie

The greatest story ever told (by the worst kids in the history of
the world). #TheBestChristmasPageantEver — in theaters
beginning November 8th!

A quirky family of misfit children, known for their mischief, decides to join the town’s Christmas pageant—not for the joy of it, but for the snacks, costumes, and the chance to upstage their classmates. Their unusual approach quickly stirs up the town, with many residents doubting the kids’ intentions and worrying they’ll ruin the cherished tradition. However, as the rehearsals go on, something begins to shift. The children’s wild energy and unexpected ideas infuse the pageant with the holiday spirit in a fresh way. As they learn about the story of Christmas, the children discover themes of kindness, forgiveness, and belonging. By the time the curtain rises, the misfit crew has created the most memorable pageant the town has ever seen, melting the hearts of even the most skeptical townsfolk and reminding everyone of the true meaning of Christmas.

The newest film from Lionsgate and Kingdom Story Company is based on the beloved children’s book classic book. As of November 2023, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson has sold more than 7 million copies since its publication in 1972.

Buy tickets today to see The Best Christmas Pageant Ever in theaters starting November 8th!
