vintage craft magazine month - day seven

there is a part of me {a part I'm not particularly proud of} that likes the idea of making a big macaroni ball spray-painted silver, adorned with pretty ribbon & a spring of mistletoe to hang up every christmas:

that same part also loves the idea of fake, lifesize deer heads {also spray-painted} decorated window-boxes:

huh, that part of me also seems to be really into spray-paint...

    The deer heads scare me but I'm totally into the macaroni balls!

    Perhaps you could update just a bit and glitter the macaroni and deer heads. Glitter is so 21st century!
