The fun note I received with an update photo!
I just received my Loteria cards and I absolutely love them. They worked perfectly for my fiesta themed Christmas tree. I would say that the little gifts that were included with my package really made my day. There were some cute little bits and bobbles that I thought were very thoughtful and quite unexpected. I will definitely be shopping at your store again. Thank you so muchfor the inspiration!
AFTER:
How amazing is that! Topped with a sombrero, a clever bandolier garland, accented with 54 loteria cards easily made into tree ornaments and other fiesta themed decorations! Love the 2 pinatas, the star for Christmas Eve and the donkey for Christmas day?
Thank you Etsy buyer for taking the time to share!
Saying Goodbye: So fun and inspirational. What an imaginative and simple way to use a deck of loteria cards! Just punch some holes and hang with twine or metal ornament holder or put on a string and wrap it on! I have a ton of these cards saved and use them in my mixed media art, my Frida Kahlo inspired cards just sold this week too!
Just in case, you are wondering what the back or each card look like, it's the ombre card with the fleur de lis symbols on the back, 54 loteria deck of cards, available here or 5 or 10 loteria game boards to make 75 to 150 mini hanging ornaments, here

What I Learned:
1. These loteria cards are so versatile to make any fiesta party the most festive! They can be used as easily made DIY garlands and table decorations, examples are table confetti, candle holders, hang off of party drink bottles, party favor bag decor and so much more. We sell a lot of these and each listing have a lot of different examples of how to create with them!
I learn all the time from Etsy buyers, who'd ever know how much fun these are to create with in so many different ways!
2. Yesterday I spent hours cleaning and organizing our art and music room, which was hoarded up from ceiling to floor with boxes with just an O path to move about the room! I got rid of a lot of saved paper ephemera and a ton of empty boxes! So much so, their is a 4 foot by 4 foot empty space now, lol and the place is starting to look emptied to me, even the hubs noticed, but I guess I'll have to take a photo because my hoarder brain doesn't seem to see the hoard, unless it's in photo form.
Usually I only spend 15 min a day in there daily, which comes out to really about 3 times a week, but the baby steps over the years are starting to add up!
3. My holiday dreads turned into holiday blues and now they are mostly gone! Every year I get them and usually get them terribly, but the last 5 years I've been consciously working on it and all the little baby steps I've taken have turned into a milestone pay off! I'm so excited and happy this holiday, it's like a switch from night to day!
How are you doing this Christmas? I am so thankful my whole life is steadily on the mend!
These have the same 54 graphics as the deck of cards, but mini sized game board style. These make simple fiesta cupcake toppers, when cut and glued or taped to a toothpick or even just added to stand alone in some heavy frosting, or make a mini cake garland or mini hanging ornaments, glitter glue around the edges to make tea light votive candle holders of favor bags. The listing photos, shows all the ways mentioned to use these. 5 or 10 game boards, available here. Photo via JunkDrawerAndMore
Thank you Etsy buyer from The DestinyofThings for taking the time to share with an updated photo and leave a note of inspiration! What a simple, easy and oh so cute and of course, festive idea for a fiesta Christmas tree! Love your sombrero Christmas tree topper and bandolier tree garland and everything else in between! So clever and fun!
Everyday is such an adventure dehoarding on Etsy! I never know who I'll meet and I have met so many Etsy buyers who share their stories with me and every time I glean some insight about where my dehoarding journey is taking me.
I've been spending more time in my junk room and I can see progress, like a bigger path way and a lot more carpet! It's starting to transform into a more noticeable music room for my husband and an art room for me. Also the truck is getting worked on in teeny tiny baby steps each weekend. I've been sorting out a box a week out of the truck!
Thank you Etsy for the best Hoarder Rehab ever! And for all the kind people I'm meeting who are helping me indirectly and directly in so many ways with my Hoarder Rehab!
