"It's the most wonderful time of the year!" And no wonder, who doesn't like to decorate, shop, wrap presents, bake and sit by a warm fire with hot chocolate in hand?! This year I am a little bit more Suzy homemaker than normal. Maybe it's the new house and extra space or maybe my creative juices (a.k.a. hormones) are flowing, but all of our decorations are up! This year I even decided to make my own wreath. Here's how it went (sorry for all of the pictures that follow, but it was the only way to illustrate the process).
Started with a plain wreath on sale from Hobby Lobby $12.50
Added various accessories (also on sale) for $25
Pine cones
Silver picks
Silver flowers
Maroon Hydrangeas
And smaller maroon garnish
A repurposed sign from an old gift that had fallen apart
Added a few finishing touches (ribbon and ornament balls)
And... Tada! (All for under $40)
Then I moved on to the Christmas Tree!
The Stockings!
And finally, our miniature tree (which Dusty thinks is his)
What about you guys? Are you in the Christmas spirit yet? How are you decking your halls this year? Stay tuned for some more holiday hoopla (trying not to overload you with the longest post ever!). I just love this time of the year!
Your wreath turned out beautiful! I haven't done anything yet and you make me feel way behind, haha!! We plan on getting it up this weekend though, can't wait!!!
