A Gypsy Christmas Debut and Photo Booth Building 101!

Flint Gypsies Gypsy Christmas Debut


It has been an absolutely crazy year since I last posted on my blog. I miss it so much, and wanted to share some new things with you all. Since last year, we have gone thru some major life changes. We went from a multi year career in oil and gas, to helping my parents run a furniture store, and then the addition of two clothing and gift boutiques. It has been a major change for us, but  we are coming upon what is my absolute favorite holiday and season, Christmas!

I have helped mom this last week decorate a lot for our Gypsy Christmas Debut, and can't wait for everyone to see it this weekend.

Below are a few pictures of the tree (sneak peaks!) and also a picture of the photo stand Ryan and I built for taking the kids Christmas pictures, as well as to use in the store for Christmas pictures! Want to know how we built it??? Scroll on down below for the quick and oh so easy instructions!









So, here's how we built this piece of adorable awesomeness! We took 4 large wooden crates from Michael's, screwed them together, used 2 1x2x4's and screwed them to the side of the crates halfway up on each end, then we took a half inchx4x4 and cut it to the correct width and screwed it to the 1x2's. I used my cutter and cut the vinyl letters and attached them, added decorations from last years Christmas decor, and ta-da, a simple but (in my opinion) adorable Christmas photo booth!

Hope you enjoy it!

Keeping Christmas in My Heart,
