Makeover Monday: 12/10

 This Thanksgiving tableau was the scene of our front walk on Friday 12/7.  How embarrassing to be a week into December and still have pumpkins out!

Mike got our Christmas flag out there on Saturday, and on Sunday he put up our lighted star/snowflake.  It is high up on the chimney, and only looks great at night, so no pics of that.  I added snowflake window clings to both of our front windows this year- they look cute, but aren't super visible unless you're right up on them.

We took the old plants out of the planter and replaced them with scrap boughs cut from the base of our Christmas tree.  I added a few thrifted red balls for a pop of festive color.  Now at least we look like we know what month it is!

Happy week 2 of December!  Two more weeks until Santa comes- eeeeeeeek!!  Are you ready?

Makeover Monday: 11/26

For this project I used a silver yarn that I found in the sale bin on my last trip to AC Moore.  Added a little festive baker's twine and several feet of white lace...

... and we have a pretty garland for the mantle!  I have several versions of this in my mind, and I hope to have the time to bring them to life at some point.

This is shaping up to be a VERY busy week.  In fact, I just started listing out all I have to do and got exhausted just writing it all down.  Luckily most of it is related to school or fun, so I am very thankful for that.  Hope you have a wonderful week!
