The Holiday season is in full force, well, minus the snow but I'm not really complaining about that. We had a nice Thanksgiving at our house. Very simple, low key, and TONS of food. I'm used to seeing my mom cook a 20 lb.+ turkey for 15+ people so I think I thought that's what I was supposed to do for only 6 people. WRONG! We had lots of yummy left overs.
I was already in the Christmas present buying swing of things before Turkey Day since I know I'm not going to want to roam the mall for hours while 39 weeks pregnant. I made my sister come with me to the mall at midnight for Black Friday Sales. WORST IDEA EVER...sorry Marg! So crowded and annoying. Never again.
Anyways, I am totally in the Christmas spirit this year especially since most of my family will be here for it... Caitlin and Andrew, it's not too late to buy plane tickets :) It seems like everyone is being crafty these days and there are so many ideas out there that inspire me. I decided to make our own wreath for the front door. Here's it is followed by a "How To"...What do you think?
Left to Right, Top to Bottom
{1. Cut 2"-3" burlap strips and wrap around styrofoam wreath. 2. Wreath should look like this after wrapping burlap. 3. I picked these colors to make my felt flowers. Tutorial on how to make flowers here. 4. I chose to glue gun my flowers in a cluster and off centered. 5. I found these branches at Michaels with little beads at the ends and added them to the wreath to add a little pop of color and texture.}
And here is a picture of my dinning room table on Thanksgiving. I wish I took more, especially of all of the food. Maybe next year.
