Fun Decorating Idea

I love to decorate for Christmas!  This year I bought a cute vintage toy typewriter on Etsy.  On my computer, I picked out a pretty font, and then I printed out a Merry Christmas message on parchment colored paper (to keep with the vintage look).  I then put it into the typewriter to make it look like I used the typewriter to type the message (even though the message is printed much bigger than a typewriter could do it).  It sits on display on top of an old suitcase in my living room. 


I change the "typed" message for different occasions, and put a personal welcome in it for when guests come to visit.  You could also put scripture in it, or how about a love note for someone special!  Any old typewriter will do, and the great part is, it doesn't even have to work to use it!

This was the message I put in it when my daughter and her family came for Thanksgiving.  I used a font on my computer called 'old Typewriter'

Blessings!
