Ornament Wreath

So I have been seeing these ornament wreaths all over blogland and was dying to make one.  When I saw this cute little tutorial over at Domestic Fashionista I just had to make one.

I found a bucket of silver ornaments at Marcs for $6.99 and I stole a white wire hanger from my husband's shirts. :)

Here's how it came out:

Winding the wire back together at the top was somewhat of a challenge, but some flower wire and duct tape seemed to hold it together.

Now I need one of those command strips to hang it in my foyer and I will be all set.

Thanks Ashley!

Centerpiece

So I we moved our table from the dining room into the kitchen.  After having Thanksgiving dinner in the dining room, we decided we wanted a bigger table for that space.  Now I have a VERY empty dining room.
Anywho, I decided my table needed a centerpiece, luckily I LOVE glass and have quite a few Apothecary jars laying around the house.  I found some cheap ornaments at Target in the dollar section.

I took some cotton batting and stretched it out to make it look like snow.

And filled my pretty jar.

Now to find a pretty tablecloth or table runner for the table.

It's Christmas time!

I have been busy decorating for Christmas around our house.  

I am hosting a spa party at my home next week and want everything to be perfect.  

I have been working on my garland.  I purchased basic green garland and I knew I would be adding picks and flowers to it.  I wanted to do a silver theme in my foyer.  

Well, you would be surprised as to how much stuff is not Silver.  It was very frustrating.

Anywho, I purchased white poinsettia flowers at Pat Catan's.

The centers were red and fake flower looking, so I painted them silver with glitter glue.

The stuff worked great.  

Here is the finished product in my foyer.

And a close up...

Didn't it come out great?  I have a banister at the top of my stairs that I am working on too.  

I just need a few more bows, the one Pat Catan's was out of them.

I love how it came out!  It truly makes me smile with delight when I go upstairs.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend!
