... pinterest

just a few more things about this blog... i am one who thinks a whole bunch up in my head, but getting it out on the paper is a lost cause if it is not done immediately. this is why i have not attempted a blog before. my life does not allow for everything to stop so that i can get my thoughts out on paper. so a warning, if you like those long, wordy kinda blogs, this one won't be for you. i'm more of the kind that will point you in the right direction, answer your questions, and give you an image! maybe you like that? either way, here i am attempting this world of blog!

so the post is titled Pinterest because, i just started decorating for Christmas (a Thanksgiving weekend tradition in our house) and wanted to share a few of the ideas i took from there.

it all started with a few sticks,

a little burlap...

and some greenery

and then...

you can find all the inspiration on my Christmas board. the tutorial i followed for the burlap wreath can be found here. i like this one over all the rest because it was so easy! i think it took me all of 30 minutes to finish it. 

the jars are filled with epsom salt, greenery from my yard and tea lights. 

the little wreaths are from a wire hanger, greenery from the yard, sticks shaped into a star and a little hot glue! i hung these on some old windows that i had. you could also hang them on your real windows. i would love to mount a candle in them, but probably not the safest idea!

i hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

Happy decorating!
