I guess that this is the season for witty inventions and new ideas for the Believers. My blogger bud Jessica over at From Marriage to Motherhood announced the grand opening her new Etsy Shop Morgan Lane, which specializes in handcrafted fabric hand accessories. I encourage you all to take a peek at all of the beautiful pieces that she has created!

And today............................................................DRUM ROLL PLEASE................................................... I announced the opening of my seasonal shop, Custom Christmas Creations by M'Shonta on my facebook page.
Below are some images of the ornaments that I have created recently. I also have custom picture frames and wine glasses that will be added to the batch, but I must put on the finishing touches before I upload :)! I had just as much fun naming them as I had creating them! So much love and attention was poured into every ornament!

Fall in is the the Heir...

In the deep south, we are blessed to have good fall weather until Decemeber in most cases... The leaves are changing colors and the wind is a little breezy... so I guess that it is safe to say that fall is in the heir...
Yes, heir and not air... This coming Saturday, November 13th @ 11:00 a.m. I am hosting a Miss and Master Fall Festival Pageant at the Underwood Petersville Center in Florence. I am soo excited and can not wait to see will be the next heirs to the throne!
I founded a series of pageants to serve as fundraisers that will aid in advancing the various learning enrichment opportunities in the area of the arts for the NBM Praise Dance Ministry. In every community, young girls are left to find their own recreation and companionship in the streets. An increasing number of children are at home with no adult care or supervision. Young people need to know that someone cares about them.


The NBM Praise Dance Ministry offers just that and much more. Group programs and services promote and enhance the development of young girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence. It also teaches them the importance of giving back to the community through volunteering their time and participating at various outreaches in the community, nursing homes, schools and churches. We embrace the countless opportunities and possibilities that lie ahead.
All proceeds from the pageant are donated to the NBM Praise Dance Ministry; which is a non-profit organization. As a nonprofit organization, your donations are tax deductible.Please feel free to email me at mshontasmith@hotmail.com for information on how to enter the upcoming Fall Festival pageant or how to make a contribution to this wonderful cause. Help us to equip these young ladies with the tools that they need as they dance into their destinies!

Taking it Personally...

This holiday season, I have decided to have a personal take on gift giving! I have always loved personalized gifts and in my opinion, you can NEVER go wrong with a personalized gift!

So, earlier this week I took a trip to my local Hobby Lobby to purchase these:


So that I can make these...






I will also purchase some wine glasses from the Dollar Tree soon so that I can make these as favors for my {Girlfriend} Holiday Bash:


Cute huh? I thought so too! So, there you have it! It is not always bad to make it personal!


Happy Holiday Hunting!

An Array of Tablescapes

Oh my; it's November! My blogging has been so sporadic and my life has been sooo jammed packed.

Today, I am going to share with you an array of tablescapes that I created for several events during the month of October. I will spare the words and share the pictures.....

Fall Festival.....




An Elegant Winter





I had so much fun creating these tablescapes... While uploading my photos, I realized that I failed to take pictures of two of the tablescapes :(! I am sure that my friend captured them so I am off to call her now to see if I can obtain them.

Enjoy your day!

Until next time,

M'Shonta
