You guys.
You guys.
You guuuuuuuyyyyyssssss. I cannot wait to show you the magazine when it comes out. Like SERIOUSLY. The team that’s here is incredible and amazing and awesome and they wrote the book on how to make a pumpkin look like a supermodel.
There are apples and leaves and things that sparkle and ideas and DIY’s and creative projects and wood slices. I am so full of joy and creative inspiration right now I think my heart could sing in three-part harmony.
I can’t spill the coffee beans yet on the projects to go into the magazine, so I thought I would tide us all over with some fun wood slice projects.
Drumroll please.
Chalkboard wood slice wreath.
Perfect for fall and when you’re done you could switch out the wreaths and you’d be ready for Christmas.
Wood slice pumpkins.
Cutest pumpkins ever who are just happy to be at the party?
Here’s a wood slice turned into a cutting board.
It’s theme song would be “It Cuts Like a Knife.”
(I’m so sorry….I couldn’t help it) 🙂
Same song, second verse on the wreath.
I love this one because it’s tiny wood slices.
Wood slice centerpiece.
If you have five decorating minutes, you can make this for Thanksgiving.
Wood slice Thanksgiving name tags.
Personalize your Thanksgiving and then let your guests take them home and hang them on their tree.
Here’s a little monogram with your wood slice.
It’s the second version of our first wreath idea.
Merry early wood slice Christmas.
I made this DIY from the wood slices at the Christmas tree farm.
I hope you enjoyed the wood slice hall of fame.
I love them each and every one.
And now?
I have to go. It’s time to start decorating for Christmas. 🙂
And now here are some more decorating ideas from some of my favorite friends.

These all look like some fun projects! I think my favorites are the first two. The Happy Fall, and the pumpkins. Thanks for sharing !
I could stare at that wood monogram wreath all day....so I think I will while I wait for the name of the magazine. :) Thanks for all of the great ideas. Wendy
I think I will try the chalkboard with wood slices -tree, star, and base, looks fun and easy! Thanks!!
I LOVE the wood slice Hall of Fame!!! Thanks for all these LOVEly ideas. : )
These are the BEST ideas for tablescapes! I LOVE the clipboard, the grapevine wreaths, and the name tags! Inspired for Thanksgiving! Did I tell you I have FOUR trees down in the yard that have to be sliced?....just in case you need more "Wood" in your life! Keep on inspiring!
When he was little my brother had a wood-burning kit, like a soldering pen, for etching designs or pictures on pieces of wood. This reminded me of it, and I can practically smell the burning wood. Do they still exist?
Kari Anne, You are an inspiration! I so loved your post on apples that it was the prompt for my post today on Life at Bella Terra....I could just feature you each and every time. Thanks for being the wind under my wings. Mary
Beautiful ... but how are the girls????????????
So glad the girls are ok...answer to prayers! Can't wait for the magazine!
Oh man, you've got me thinking fun projects!!! Here in AZ it's been stinking hot so fall feels like it never came. Yet. I've needed something to get my creative juices going again. And YOU are my hero! I looooove everything you've sampled!!! Can't wait to try some of them. I've got my mom moving in so we'll be crafting buddies and you are our inspiration!! I love your posts so much! Can't wait to find them in my in box!!!
I may have missed something... do we know what magazine you are referring to? :-) These wood projects are VERY fun!
So many great wood slice projects! Who knew??? I have to say my all time favorite is the chalk board in the middle change the wreath for the season wood slice project. Genius! I can't wait to see the magazine spread on your blog and buy the magazine -- so happy for you, Karianne :-)
I love all of these ideas, KariAnne! I bought some small wood slices recently and am going to try my hand at some ornaments for my grandchildren...
KariAnne, I really like your wood slices! We have a birch tree that my hubby has to take down. He will cut me some wood slices that I can use in our home. You always have so many DIY's for us and I thank you! We continue to pray for you all! Have a blessed day, my friend!
I keep telling my hubby that we need a chainsaw. We used to have a gargantuan one when we lived in the country. Once we moved to the city he gave up lumberjack type things. But we have these trees around our house that need to be shaped up or cut down -- so I'm suggesting a chainsaw. I think I may get him one for Christmas. If he says he won't use it I'll tell him I will. That is a sure guarantee that he'll do it. He thinks I'm a little on the klutzy side :-(. I do have a tendency to run into things but that's because I'm always looking around observing. I really want to make plate holders with a wood slice. You do inspire me. Have a wonderful evening!! Sending hugs!
Looking forward to the magazine news - nice of you to give us projects to do while we wait :)
You are so creative! Now to decide which to do first!
These are all amazing wood-slice projects, KariAnne....in particular, I lurve the wreaths, the Christmas tree, and the name tags are such a great idea which carry you from Thanksgiving to Christmas...well done! Many happy congratulations on the magazine spread, too...you sooooooo deserve this! And I hope your baby girls are feeling better and better with each passing day...keeping all y'all in my thoughts and prayers!
Love all the ideas,they are cute, my favorite is the wood slice tree :) The pumpkins are cute also. Thanks
Fabulous!
Can't wait for the details on the magazine project. In the meantime, your photos make me want to leave work early to go home and paint my front door some new color. A color that would look perfectly awesome behind one of those wreaths. Geez. That's some sweet decorating sister. We're at the beginning of re-doing our finished basement area. You know: new carpet, new paint, new decorations. And we want to get it all done before Christmas. Zip. Zap. Gotta get busy. Hugs, Michael
All of those ideas are so cute. Thanks so much How are the 2 girls doing?
Just curious if I need to do anything to the newly cut wood to prep it or to make it critter free to bring into my home. Would love to try a couple of these projects. Thanks-
