Fall Wreath

So, I still exist. The last few months have been full of change including a move across country. But I am starting to craft again. Here is a wreath I made last week which cheers up my front door right now.

Happy Halloween

I love this time of year! Halloween kicks off the holiday season with a bang! I get so excited to decorate the house, I might have put up my decorations a week or two ago. Maybe :)

Here are some of my past posts for Halloween:

Halloween Wreath

While I was checking one of my favorite blogs I saw this wreath and knew that I had to make one! It ended up being really simple to make. My pictures don't do it justice, but I am happy with the finished product. I decided that it would be more fun to create with friends to make these. Everyone made a different color/ holiday wreath using this technique, it was fun to see all the combos. Only one of them finished theirs completely before having to go home, and her wreath was stunning! She used a sage green for the tulle. Embellishing with white flowers, pine cones, a glittery cardinal, and berries it was beautiful! I should have snapped a picture! 

Flag Blocks

This flag decoration was fun and easy to construct. I made it with 2-6 inch long and 3-9 inch long 2x4's, and a square 3.25 x 3.25 block, for the star block. I white washed the blocks with watered down cream paint. Then I used mod podge to adhere scrapbook paper to the front of each block. After the paper was dry I adhered vinyl lettering and the star. Then I took a small stamp pad and rubbed it on the edges to give it an aged look. Lastly I tied a ribbon around the stack of blocks. Happy 4th of July!

Winter Mantle

This winter I decided to decorate our mantle (a.k.a. top of our entertainment cabinet). I must say I was so excited that all of the decorations I bought on clearance which made it even more exciting to decorate.
