3 Wreaths for the Holidays ~ and beyond…

While collecting holiday decorating inspiration, I came upon 3 variations of beautiful wreaths that will last long after the rest of your Christmas décor has been packed up and stored for next year.

I love everything about this festive snowflake inspired door décor! By simply gluing pinecones to a cardboard form that you can cut out from that leftover package received in the mail…you can create a beautiful decoration to be enjoyed in January and all through the winter months.

 

These two square wreaths are so festive and cleverly created from Dollar Store frames and red tissue paper! With their shiny satin bows, they are well suited for the holidays, and I can envision adding a glittery heart ornament that would make them a sweet decoration for February and Valentines Day!

 

 

Finally, the above monogram door décor is simple and classic. By bending an old wire hanger and wrapping with either real or faux boxwood sprigs, this beautiful decoration would make the perfect gift that can be enjoyed all year long!

For pictures and more detailed info on how to make these wreaths visit here. I think I will be making all three!

Kitchen Table Holiday Décor…

Dress up your kitchen table with a few simple elements to create a charming centerpiece for the holidays.

A glass cloche filled with red ornaments and pinecones, nestled atop a few branches clipped from trees in my backyard. Simple and pretty.

 

 

 

I also snipped a few sprigs of color from other plants in my yard and placed them in a simple glass vase to add more color and texture…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can even add some of my homemade Winter Branches and White Leaves that I made and shared here.

How do you like to deck your table for the holidays?

Christmas Cards…

Since I have been feeling a bit behind on all things holiday this year, I am happy to have my Christmas Cards made and ready to be addressed and sent!

 

 

I chose these pictures of my two sons, taken on the day we moved my oldest into his dorm for his freshman year of college. These are my current favorites of the boys, so I decided they will be perfect for our card this year.

 

 

 

 

I kept it very simple by just uploading the photos to the Costco website and the cards were ready the next day! They even included these free 2013 Calendar cards…

 

 

 

 

So simple! I love being able to do all of your designing and ordering online. There are several great sites that allow you to customize cards for very reasonable prices. Now to just sit down and get them addressed, stamped, and mailed!
