Christmas Warmth...

It's that time of the year again when we can go to our Christmas storage boxes and pull out all of our wonderful Christmas finds. This year, I really had fun trying new and different ways of bringing some Christmas cheer to our household. Hope you enjoy looking as much as I had fun decorating. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!~

A taste of traditional...

...and untraditional...

This tree was a centerpiece from a wedding I attended and traveled from CA to AZ in our backseat. I found some silver leather samples and made them into some simple but fun ornaments to help dress up this tree. I also put an old necklace to good use by recycling the pearls and stringing them up. In the traditional tree I found some great deals on many of the ornaments including the "Q" ornaments which were actually gift tags but of course who ever has a name with a "Q" in it. Thus, I bought a ton and if you look at it in a non-logical way they just add a little more sparkle to the tree.

... traditional...


...and untraditional...

I bought this garland and just made it into a circle and it filled the perfect spot on my wall!~

...centerpieces...

...remembering family and friends...


I put the most time into this project but really had fun doing it. It really only took a little bit of glue, glitter, ribbon and fun clips to make this all happen. Enjoy!~
