What To Do With A $2.50 Wreath

Sorry I've been missing from blogland. We had a great time at the beach and by the time I sat down each night, I opted to curl up in front of the fire and read a book.

I finally got to see my MIL's new house at the beach - love it! Everything was so beautiful and perfect. We got into the Christmas spirit Friday with a trip to Michael's and Pier One. My sister-in-law wanted me to create a Christmas wreath for her and it turned out so good, my MIL and I took another trip out to buy goodies for another.
Here's how to create your own wreath:

- Green wreath from Michaels, with 5 additional greenery picks added in for fullness (with pine cones)
- Ribbon tucked in and around the wreath and secured with a glue gun
- Gold ball garland (Michaels) draped and glued around wreath
- Large balls and stocking ornaments from Pier One (all on sale right now!)
- Gold curly picks (around bow) from Pier One
- Small red balls (Pier One) glued around wreath
- Create bow and tie onto wreath
Wallah....you now have a $100.00 designer wreath at half the price!

Star Wars Gift Bag Tags

Two years ago, for Walker's Star Wars birthday, I created Yoda tags to attach to the gift bags for the party. Little did I know these bag tags would become so popular on Pinterest! To date, these tags have been repinned almost 500 times!!! So I thought since there's so much interest, I'd add them to my Etsy shop . So now, for just $8.00 - you can receive the file electronically and print them for yourself! I jazzed them up a bit with some sliver glitter puff paint on the light saber and some silver ribbon to attach to the dollar store bags. Print as many or as few as you want! So, if you are planning a Star Wars party, check them out ! And may the force be with you!

Baby Shower Inspiration Boards

I got all excited about the baby shower inspiration board contest over at Sippycups Are for Chardonnay , but only ended up submitting this first one on time. I managed to pull the second together this weekend just for kicks and loved the colors, so thought I'd share here. The first board is call "Nesting Instincts" and the second is "Over the Rainbow". I think I could get addicted to creating these things.
