Over the weekend friends came from out of town and it was a truly refreshing change of pace for us but even while they were here I was able to get a small craft done. I needed a Christmas wreath for my door and it needed to match the color of the porch bench or I wasn't gonna be satisfied.
Here is what I came up with:Shared here
Tales Of A Trophy Wifes Craftin Party,
A Glimpse Inside's Catch A Glimpse Party, and major fun over@
Mom On Time Out's Taking A Time out Thursday linky.
It was cute for a last minute project I think kinda cheesy but FUN!
And I added a little festive greenery to a vase and dressed it up with Christmas ribbon the house still smells fabulous!
 |
| Hot glued the ribbon on |
 |
| I addressed all Our Christmas cards. |
 |
| Added A piece of pine for the snow boys to sit on aren't their lil boots too cute?! |
 |
| I put them here. |
I also couldn't resist buying the snow guys a friend:
 |
| Look at that face. |
 |
| He sits on our stove. |
Just a few things I did around my house to add a lil extra cheer and Shan thought she would help me with that as well, look what she brought home!
My sweetheart thought I would like this for guest during the holidays but even better she said "I just knew you would love the basket." I'm smiling as I type this because she was right. I love her somethin' awful for "getting" me.
I have a little extra cleaning and planning in preparation for Christmas. As usual the kids will be home and I am super excited about that!
I have a new app on my Iphone that I have enjoyed using and it has really helped out with some day to day chores honestly I think my planner may be a little jealous! I first heard about it @
Organizing Junkie. It was created by Laura the blogs author. So for just .99 @ the Apple App Store I think its a great deal. She is still working out a few kinks but it seems to be working well for me, get it now before the price goes up!
Btw she didn't ask me to post this I just thought I would pass on some information from an organization blog that I love. Ok well have a great rest of the week everyone and thanks for stopping by! Btw I'm sharing this over @
Primp's Primp Your Self Wednesday stop by to see how the others are primpin their spaces!

I just love those darling snowmen! So cheerful. I like the idea about the wreath and the vase--nice! Have a wonderful Christmas!
Really cute touches around the house - especially the snowmen.
Your wreath is so sweet, colourful and fun! A refreshing change from all the seriousness of the greenery we see everywhere.
You talented girl. I love your wreath, especially those colors :) I just looked at your post about your tree skirt. What a great idea! We have one of those petticoat slips, but I didn't think to use it like this. I wanted white too, so I wrapped a white coverlet around it. I like your idea so much better!!
Have a wonderful Sunday. I'm going to have to check out that app. :)
Blessings,
Marcia
That bow wreath is incredibly cute, and such a great idea! I love it, and the rest of your beautiful Christmas decor!
I just posted my little tour of trees, and would love for you to drop in if you have time!
